An Auburn Wreath

Living in Alabama, you must chose whether you are an Auburn fan or an Alabama fan.  It doesn't matter if you are not from Alabama or you have another team you support, you have to pick one or the other so you have something to tell everyone who asks you.  I have lived here for 26 years and I have to say that I can't pick - I like them both.  I really do! 

The Squigglefly challenge this week is to make a Christmas card and you get a "bonus" if you make it with non-traditional colors.  Since I was watching the Auburn game when I colored up this lovely Large Holly Wreath with Bow by Pam Lehto, I decided to color it Auburn colors.  I will be sending it to one of my many Auburn fans. 


Hope you have a chance to join in the challenge with us this week!

    What?????? An Auburn wreath. Well, you did say you like both. You'll just have to make an Alabama wreath very soon, though. HA Your wreath and card are very pretty but can't you just image it in red and white? You know what a fanatic football fan I am. O.K., I'm going away. LOL

    Our weather here in Texas at Christmas is more like autumn so I love your card!!! Really like those stars on it too. So beautiful.

    Well, my daughter received her Master's from Univ. of Alabama so she doesn't even have to waver on who he's for! LOL! I think they're two great teams!

    this is so pretty, Nancy, and I really like the colors - it feels slightly vintage, and very festive - even tho traditional colors are not being used! hugs, de

    That's such a pretty wreath and I love the star accents! I suppose it's a good thing I don't live in the south, because I'm not a football fan in any way, shape, or form! LOL

    War Eagle! Love your wreath. I didn't choose for the longest time and said I was a Oregon Ducks fan, but when my son decided to go to Auburn, my decision was made :-)

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

It's time for the New Release Blog Hop at Dude Time Doodles ! I am thrilled to show off Elmer Elf - just one of the four new images. I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them. Be sure and pick them up soon in the store if you like them because all the Dude Time Doodles Images will be retiring in the next few weeks - sniff, sniff! If you came to my blog from Sharon's amazing blog you can continue on to Mags who has another wonderful creation to show you. Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around. Be sure and leave comments because one of the DT members is the mystery host/hostess and one of the commenters on their blog will win free images from the store. Hugz!!

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
