Next Up...

Well, this week certainly hasn't gone how I was expecting it to!  Thursday was computer problems (hence the lack of post) and then yesterday we were without power for 11 hours (hence the lack of post).  Murphy's law says if you tell your readers you're going to post every day, something will happen to prevent you from doing so!   So, I'll keep this short and sweet since I have lots to do to catch up.  Here's a (really bad) picture of some of the prep work for Advent calendars   This is my weekend project.  I am only making 4 this year.  They are a lot of work, but they seem popular.  This picture was taken yesterday when I was sitting on the floor and using the bay window as a cutting area because the power was out and it was the only place that had sufficient light (and heat) for me to be working!  Here's a link to some calendars I did a few years back.  These ones will be very similar!

Cards...

I've been making a few cards here and there.  I've also recieved a few beautiful handmade cards lately...
This is one I recieved from Sarah...'sew' cute!

Here's one that I made for my boss.  He and his lovely wife were Hawaii bound for a much deserved vacation...

Just my Style...

Wanted to show ya'll a giftie I got over Christmas.  My friend, Kim, made this beautiful wreath for me!  It fits in with my house just fine!  Thanks Kim...I loves it.

One of my faves...

This is a card I made awhile ago. I made a few like it and it remains as one of my favorites. I'd like to sit down and do a bunch more maybe trying some spring-like colours. I have to admit, I scraplifted this idea from an old Stampin' Up catalogue from years gone by. It's nice to have a card on hand like this for anyone you know who likes working outdoors.
