Holy Moly the first post in a long while is a Christmas card!

 Thanks for sticking with me!

Our summer is so short; I've been cleaning out the outside sheds, sea can, etc.!

It's been really hot, hot, hot!

Last night I wanted to go to bed about 6:30 pm; instead I made a card!

 

I've had the stitched topper sitting on my desk for a while.

It was really hard to photograph!

 

 

Even the thread I used was metallic.

I DID get a minute!

Actually I had this card in my head the whole time I've been painting & laying laminate!

 

I had a new poinsettia stamp I wanted to do the vellum thing with, and it turned out pretty good!

Hello peeps!

You know I like to have my Christmas cards done for the end of November, so I'm playing along over at Christmas Cards All Year 'Round!

The challenge for this month is:

"is to create a Christmas themed step card."

This wasn't the step pattern I was looking for, but it worked!

Vanessa & I spent the day in PR, getting groceries,

a few things she needs when she moves to Kalens' house in town,

and I got an Ice Maker!

Of COURSE I NEEDED it! hahaha

We have one at work for Happy Hour Friday, and it's the coolest thing!

 

My family's all at the local hockey game, so I'm going to try & finish the quilt cards that I have started; I also need a birthday card!

 

Hope you're all well!
