Ok I hope that everyone had a great and Merry Christmas. We had a great one here. I am a little sad that it is all over now. Most years I feel relieved but this year I was sad to see it go. This is the last card that I will be posting from the boutique, it is done with one of my favorite stamp sets. The ballet one that retired a couple of years ago. I used versamark and chalk for both images, sorry you can't really tell with the plastic bag on it. I am actually feeling like I really want to get stamping again. Unfortunately the basement is such a mess right now with christmas that I probably won't be able to stamp for weeks. At least it feels that way. We got a Wii for christmas and Craig and the kids have been trying to burn it out ever since we got it. They started playing guitar hero on it today. I have to say they are fun to watch but myself I really don't enjoy playing the game. Well I hope that everything is going good for everyone and have a great New year. I will try and get something done and posted within the next couple of days. I am also going to update the kids blog.

One more card this is a favorite I really like brown and pink and of course the tag cards again. Have a quick joke my sister told me that I thought was funny.

I was going to send you something sexy for christmas......but the mailman told me to take the stamp off my butt and get out of the mailbox. Merry Christmas.

Thanks for looking.

Here are some gift card packages these were done without toppers and there are small gift tags in the back of the bag. A couple of years ago I did these for neighbor gifts with toppers and a couple of large cards as well. I really liked the way that they turned out and every year since have meant to do them again but haven't. How come time goes by so fast? Even when you aren't having fun ha. Hope everyone is having a good holiday even with the weather. We have been busy but having fun. thanks for looking.

Woo hoo I am on a role. Two posts two days in a row. Here is another card that was packaged for the boutique sorry the pictures aren't as good because of that. This is a tag card though which everyone who knows me knows is one of my favorite type of cards. Going to try and post another card or two tomorrow but right now the kids want their blog updated. thanks for looking.

I can't believe how long it has been since I last posted to this blog. Life is crazy I got involved with a boutique and have some cards to show that I did for that. I will be adding them over the next couple of days. I hope that everyones holidays are going well. We are loving it and very excited for Christmas. Our oldest son who is nine was still a believer until a couple of weeks ago, when he decided to go snooping. He found everything and looked through all of it. We decided that for the sake of our younger son we were going to have to burst his bubble and let him know what really goes on. At first he didn't want to believe me and when I insisted that what I was telling him was true he started crying. I feel awful about the whole thing we had been really excited thinking that we were getting at least one more year out of him before he found out the truth and then this happened. And of course we were completely done and he saw it all. I think that come christmas morning he is going to be very dissapointed when he knows everything that is under the tree for him. Oh well.

Ok two more pictures for tonight aren't these pictures amazing. I got these in an email from my mom they are from Butchart Gardens in B.C. Canada. Makes me really want to go here in the fall hope you enjoy.

Ok so it has been more than a week since I posted again. I've decided I am a bad blogger. Oh well add it to the list of all the other things that I don't do as well as I should. Ha ha. The kids finally went back to school today from uea break yeah. We didn't end up going anywhere fun we just stayed home and drove each other crazy. That can be just as fun though right. This is the only card that I have made so far with my very favorite stamp set out of the new catalog. And I can't believe that it took me this long to make one. I absolutely love the set but really struggle with ideas for it. I am not really even all that sure how much I like this card but Craig says that it is cute. So I am taking his word for it. You can't see in the picture but I did use dazzling diamonds in the eyes. My next big project will be to update the kids blog they have been bugging me to load a new picture on there for them. We have been fairly boring though lately and don't really have a lot to add. Craig and I are going to try and make it to Forks, Wa for a couple of days before the end of the year. I would like to see it after Jenn went and talked so highly of it. We are also going to try and find someone to dump he kids on for a couple of days so that we can make a quick trip to disneyland without them as well. Last time I went with the kids to Disneyland in March I threatened them that if they didn't quit fighting and get along I wouldn't renew their annual passes. And for once I stuck to my threat I guess that maybe it was kind of a mean thing to do but now that they don't have them I don't have to take them right. HEHEHE. We will renew them next year when renewing ours. They did get to go 11 and 12 times last year and Craig only went two times. Of course I went every time that anyone went I guess it really pays to be the mom sometimes. Anyway just don't want anyone thinking that Zach and Jacob are at all neglected I think they are actually quite spoiled. Well enough blah blah blah from me. Hope everyone is doing well. And thanks for looking at the card upload I will try to post the other two cards from stamp club as well. Forgot that I haven't added them yet.
