Sometimes amazing people forget how amazing they are.....this is your reminder.

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

I have made this!


 
 
I have used a Stampendous House Mouse stamp called Hedgehog Holiday. It's colored with Ohuhu markers and metallic gel pens for the ornaments! Cut out with Stampendous dies and the sentiment is Creative Expressions Christmas Blessings. The twine is out of my stash and the wreath charm is Craft Consortium.
 
Christmas Kickstart #105 If It's Christmassy, Link It Up
HMFMC # 454 Anything Goes/ Option Theme Christmas Cheer
NBUS #81 Pretty sure it's the first outing for the stamp! 
 
I made a quick trip up north for Bryson's birthday. Weather was good.
Home until it's warmer and the winter tires can come off!
Busy baking, made poppycock, took on another volunteer job, Christmas craft sale was last Saturday. The last play of the year for our drama group was this past weekend too! Now there's the towns choir, and band, and I'll probably go to all! 
Had my car in the shop again today. I have not had interior lights since I got it. And my newfangled car messages me to tell me!!!! It's a hybrid. 2 batteries. One hasn't been working! In the summer I don't notice the non lights, but in the winter I need one of those headband flashlights to get my things out of the back and the back seat. They assure me it's fixed!
I have a wine and cheese party to attend next week. A few other social events before Christmas!
I am feeding the kids tomorrow night so we will discuss Christmas. I don't know if I told you that Emma's mom has been in the hospital for months. She has Gullain-Barre syndrome. She was away for some rehab, but is back in our hospital. Her fingers are starting to work again, but she's in a wheel chair and can't transfer herself. Or stand. She's working hard. She might be able to go to one of the seniors homes in town for 7 weeks respite. It's a slow process.
Better go!
Talk to ya later!

My Gail, I'm exhausted reading all you've been up to and a smile at the head torch. Hubby bought one last week, our garden is a couple of acres so no lead needed but he likes to see where Rosa his girl is, so you see a distant light moving through the air, it's quite eerie at times.

Cute HM as always.

Super cute card Gail :-) I need to dig this stamp out and use it again! My friend rescues wildlife and is often caring for injured/baby hogs, this would be perfect for her card! The colors are details are gorgeous <3

Thanks so much for joining us on the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge!

Your card is so fun, Gail! It would be careful work to decorate a porcupine! Thank you for sharing at NBUS! All is going well, but slowly, with Kevin's recovery! Unfortunately, I didn't get Christmas cards out this year, so with this I wish you a Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy new year!! Love and hugs and healing thoughts for Emma's mom ~ and I hope your car woes are soon over! Darnell🤶
