Not So Silent, Silent Night


Hello, my friends, sorry I have been missing in blogland so much lately.  Here are my excuses:

*I have been watching one of my darling Grandsons on Saturdays (eats into my Saturday catch up time).
*I made the Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen (that is sooooo much fun and a dream come true).
*We expanded our junk booth from 1 to 3 booths.
*I signed up to be in the Church Christmas play thinking I could help with sets or bring snacks and ended up with the biggest speaking part.  

The play is over and we have been working to baby-proof our house more so maybe I can catch up a bit more.  Here is a card I posted on the DRS Designs blog:



This was made by stamping the DRS Designs Silent Night Sheet Music image and then stamping the Holly Bells image in Versamark and chalking it with tan and green chalk.   I realized silent night didn't need some bells so I covered up the song title with the Small Merry Christmas sentiment and stenciled, sponged, and splattered things to try and make it not so obvious there is a bell on silent night.  In the end, I decided it didn't matter and went with it.

Several people have asked where my kitchen counter is in my pictures lately.  I promise it is right behind the white papers used as my backdrop.  It is covered in Christmas cards, address books, stamps, and cold medicine for every member of our family.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

    Nancy it is I that need to apologize for not visiting very often lately. I've just been into a lot of things that are keeping me from blogland most days. In any event all of your reasons are wonderful ones. How are those grandsons of yours, growing fast I'm sure. I'll bet you did a fabulous job with your play. This is a beautiful card, I just love the music sheet as your backdrop. I also peeked in on your previous post and it is just gorgeous. Have yourself a very Merry Christmas.

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....
