Gosh I've been so darn busy and haven't crafted anything or blogged in a quite awhile- it's that crazy time of year with so much to do. I thought I would show you all some of the cards I made last year for Christmas- I did my first ever craft show and made multiples of many cards and these are some of the leftovers. Having so many leftovers and the ones I've already created for this year I think I'm about done with my cards.....but I may be able squeak out a few more if the mojo strikes. For now I'm just going to work on getting my cards addressed and ready to go (this seems to be the hardest part every year....actually getting them mailed out on time).
I've also been busy getting my lazy behind to the gym recently too. I've been having some lower back issues from sitting and working on the computer so much, so I finally took it upon myself to get active and do something to help myself in that department. It was tough getting going at first but I really love getting a workout on a regular basis now......plus I'm losing a bit of weight as well- bonus! So I am limiting my time in front of the computer.....my back simply can't stand too much of it.
Now on to the cards.....
Stampin Up reindeer & Inkadinkadoo frame, sentiment and snowflake punch by Martha Stewart.
Image by Stampendous, snowflakes from SU. Lots of Stickles on here :)
Image by Inkadinkadoo, background by.....? can't remember!
Image and sentiment by Clear Dollar stamps- lots of glitter on the snowflake BG.
Hope to find the time to get crafting again....but I know the next few weeks are busy as well so that may not actually happen.
I do have some rather exciting news........the hubby and I are off to New Jersey and New York City in 2 weeks for my company's annual Christmas Party!! All expenses paid (wohooo) and we will take one day to go into NYC and see a Broadway show (The Addams Family) and do a bit of sightseeing- so I'm really excited about that- never been to the big apple before!! Hope to see Central Park and all the fun Christmas decorating and just take it all in- this country girl really isn't used to the big city! I've been busy shopping for this as well- have to have a fancy party dress and the hubby seriously needed a new suit to wear!
Have a great weekend all and thanks for dropping by! Hope you are all getting your Christmas shopping done too :)
Inky Hugs, Anne
