Christmas Cards

This time of year most folks are in the holiday mood.  Making plans for Thanksgiving and counting down the days until Christmas.  I've been making Christmas cards for a challenge at 'Card a Day in November-Christmas Edition'  Each day is a different challenge and I'm having fun with the ideas. But I also make holiday cards year round.  I haven't rounded them all up but pretty soon I'll need to address them and make ready to mail.  There are 50 days til 25 December!

This card is all Stampin' Up!

Paper Rose is an Australian company and most everything I've seen from them is very vibrant!  Beautiful cardstock and images.  The matching ephemera and die cuts make card making quick and easy

Mintay Papers are located in Poland but can be purchased at various sites in the US

This card was made using Merry & Joy.  I love the old world look of Santa

We had a lovely lunch at Backwood Crossings yesterday.  More often than not we enjoy dinner for lunch.  The meals are usually less expensive and in some cases the portions are smaller.  Not having to plan and cook is a treat!

Jim bought a cane and it arrived yesterday.  He felt it was time and I must admit it should ease our minds if using it prevents a fall.  Although he bought hearing aids from Costco he'll be fitted for aids from the VA.  We'll see which it the best and he'll have a backup if needed

Sonsearae treats me to a pedicure every month or so and today is the day.  What color should I choose?  I'll be removing orange...

All is right in our world

 

Passing of Time

 It amazes me how fast our time here on earth moves!  Sometimes the days seem to drag, other days seem to fly by swiftly.

I offer no excuse for not posting.  I mostly have the time but lack subject matter

This is my bin of finished cards!  You do know I like to make cards.  I apparently need to mail them out more often!  Let me know if you would like some or would like to be added to my mailing list.

We have been out and about enjoying our wonderful fall weather

I've also discovered some new companies to get beautiful papers to make cards!

49 and Market Spectrum Gardenia. 

 

I had never heard of this company and when someone posted about a mystery box I just had to have it!  I think they're mostly for scrapbooking but I'll find uses for all of the products I received

Christmas challenge (although I make Christmas cards Year round)

This is the biggest Pony Tail Palm I've ever seen!  I must encourage my wee palm to grow...

Our day to day life is made up of medical visits, grocery runs and since Jim has a 'subscription' for a car washes he's often off getting the car spiffed up.  We see Sonsearae and Chris weekly and eat out often
