Merry CHRISTMAS Friends....

I just want to wish you all a super MERRY CHRISTMAS. I know I will be taking a short blog vacation and will return by the 2nd.
I have to finish my shopping tomorrow and get the final details done. This flu has not gone away and seems to continue to try to get one nasty grip on me...but hey...the holidays MUST GO ON :)

I pray that this Holiday Season bring you ALL Joy, Health and Peace.

Merry Christmas ladies.

I am in a frenzy here to finish decorating TODAY!!!! Whatever is out is out...and if it is NOT OUT...it is not COMING OUT!!!! LOL

Wanted to share some stuffesses I have been working on....This was one of the pages from my 10 page Christmas class.
So glad that I did this class because I was able to scrap 2 Past Christmas seasons in one sitting...gotta love that!!!

TIM HOLTZ I AM NOT...but I too have been working on some tags...simple peeps...simple...

Sending Happy Birthday Wishes to my aunt Judy. LOVE YOU LADY!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!Wishing you all a fantastic day and a fruitful Weekend!hugs, me

#8

Is it cold or what peeps? For those of you NOT LIVING IN SUNNY FLORIDA...can you please return our heat BACK!!! LOL.

Here is another tree for your Christmas eye candy....
Gotta leave you with some scrappy eye candy. This is one of the pages I did in my 10 page December Class. So glad I do this. I tend to catch up on Christmas fairly quickly with these classes. I help my customers scrap and I get my stuff done too. Can't beat that!!!

I HAVE GOT TO SHARE!!!! My daughter lovesss.....did I say LOVE with capital letters: BUDDY from Cake BOSS. She wrote this amazing letter to him and waiting anxiously for a reply. She would ask me every day...MOM...did I get anything? She actually drove me a little crazy. I really did not expect her to get anything back. Anyway we got something back today.

BEFORE OPENING ENVELOPE

"HIS" company or workers or SOMEONE...sent her a plain autographed card and a 5x7 postcard telling her to buy his book. She was a bit devastated. I felt so bad for her. She tells me I am so disappointed mom. I tried to explain to her that stars tend to get super busy...more so than us regular people and we are SUPER busy. That he probably never even read the letter. Most famous people have someone who reads their letters and answers them back for the person. I really tried to make it a positive moment for her.

(Now my true opinion is: I wish they had NEVER SENT HER ANYTHING....especially the flyer promoting his book. I have no problem with the flyer...just sending it to a KID who has just poured her heart out in a freaking letter!) Please note this is MOMMY speaking!!!! LOL

AFTER OPENING ENVELOPE

It is a lesson learned. I explained that in the future if she was ever in a position where children were writing to her...to remember this experience and do something differently.

BY THE WAY...I was planning on buying her the stupid book for Christmas, just waiting for it to get here at Barnes and Nobles...sad but true.

Have a great day girls.

Hugs,

Me
