We had a very nice Thanksgiving.  We truly are blessed!  The majority of my posts lately have been holiday-related.  For a little change of pace, today's card is a "just because" card created using Tangerine Tango and Daffodil Delight.  The Daffodil flowers are from the Flower Shop set and the little Tangerine flowers are from the Summer Silhouettes.  The color combination is bright and cheerful and since I used the sentiment "just because" from the A Dozen Thoughts set, the card is versatile and can be sent for a variety of occasions.  I left the inside blank and will add a little handwritten sentiment when the card is needed.  Now I am debating on whether to go shopping or stay home where there is peace, quiet and warmth!  Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time!

Happy Thanksgiving & Happy Hanukkah

Have a wonderful day with family and friends.  I appreciate your friendship and support today and everyday.  Thank you!

And to those of you who are of the Jewish faith, Happy Hanukkah!  From what I understand, Thanksgiving and Hanukkah overlapping is a rarity and will not happen again for something like 80,000 years!!  Did I hear and read that right? 

Wishing all a great day! 

Whole Lot Of Love

Yesterday Stampin' Up introduced us to their Valentine stamps and such.  These items will be available beginning December 1st thru January 27th or while supplies last.  The first item that jumped out at me is the little polka dot treat bag set.  I don't know about you, but I am stocking up on these little bags as I like them a lot!!! The little note cards are cute, too.   I am still not sure about the stamp sets/stamp, as I am waiting to see if the final "Best of 25" stamp set will be Valentine-related. As soon as I see that set, I will pass it along.  After the way the Endless Wishes stamp set sold out, I will not be taking my chances on those items I really like; i.e., Sweetheart Treat Bags.  Have a great day and if you are traveling for the holiday weekend, be safe and take your time!!

Festive Flurry Ornament

Mr. Brown brought my Stampin' Up order yesterday afternoon--yeah!  In that order was the Festive Flurry Ornament Kit (#135813 @ $14.95 plus tax and shipping) that is available for a limited time.  Needless to say, I just had to make an ornament right away.  If you purchased the kit, the first thing to remember is that the points of the snowflakes are dainty so you need to be careful when you are punching them out.  I didn't get thru the first snowflake without ripping one little point.  So, I made a mental note to slow down!  The folding of the scored lines is a little more challenging with the glimmer paper snowflake. Once again, just take your time.  For some reason, neither of my snowflakes is completely level, although the
second one is better than the first.  The ornaments are a beautiful addition to packages, as you can see from the photos.  I will be back at it later on so I can perfect my Festive Flurry Ornament making skills!  Have a great day!
