Happy New Year!

I'm not a good blogger. I forget to blog or I'll get busy and not get a chance to blog...and...sometimes I don't think that I have anything to say that anyone wants to hear....but I do have something to say today.
I'd like to wish everyone reading this a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year...with good friends, laughter and love in your life. Happy 2010!

Santa's Going To Be Here Soon.....!

The tree is up (Well...most of them are...mine is up but naked), carols are playing, shopping is almost done and presents are wrapped...Christmas is almost here. I've got the menu planned for Christmas dinner and the house is in the process of being thoroughly cleaned. Just a few more items on my to do list and I'll be ready for the holiday.

Here is one of the cards that I made when I had some free time...(I believe that was in October :) ) At that time...I was very excited about Christmas and Santa coming.

Kick Off Your Shoes And Relax...

Of course...these shoes may not be your exact size...but they do look like they might be comfortable.

The original pattern for this gym shoe card came from Papercrafts magazine. I had seen an ad for the next issue of the magazine and this gym shoe was on the cover. I fell in love with it and wanted to make it for a card swap...but the issue wasn't coming out for another week or two...so I made my own pattern.

I love the metal eyelets and the ribbon laces...and the shoes are really cute using any pattern of paper...in any color...for any holiday!

A Candy Cane A Day Keeps Santa On His Way....

That's what it says on the little scalloped card attached to this Candy Cane Christmas Tree Ornament. The Candy Cane is 5 inches long...and is covered on both sides with glowing foil paper stripes. Red ribbon embellishments and a jingle bell add a little "Fluff" to the ornament. This will be cute on the tree...but would look great used as a tag too.

So Ugly...They're Cute!

These are quirky Christmas Santas...made of walnuts. They're odd, funny, and kind of homely...but I still think they're cute. What do you think?....Honestly? Think about it and let me know...I'm going to figure out something for dinner!

Rudolph and Friend...

I love reindeer...elegant, funny, cute or just plain goofy...no matter how they're displayed...I love 'em. I was thrilled a couple of years ago when a real one came running through my back yard...the first time in about 20 years.

So...because reindeer are some of my favorite creatures...I made these bright reindeer tags...complete with jingle bells. (And using BoBunny double dots paper...another of my favorites!)
