This year, while I was organizing away the hours in my studio, I began tossing all things Christmas into a bin.  Little bits of fruitcake (the paper collection, not the edible kind!), a snowflake here or there — all into a bin.  Then one day my friend, Laura called and invited me over to make cards.  I was ready!  Woo Hoo!

So here are a few of my holiday creations – thankfully mailed them all out… Phew!

Above started off as an ATC.  I have a few of these left to swap if anyone is interested, e-mail me.

Above is such a fun sentiment, once you see that the inside says, "can you make the voices stop?".  I bought the stamps when I was at Stampers Ink in Shawnee, KS.  Love it!

Only days left to make merry and bright!  I hope you are having as much fun as I am.  And now I'm off to grab a couple of secret Santa presents for the kids.

Speaking of the short people – I opted to use a summery photo of them for the Christmas card insert this year.  Nothing else seemed to capture them as well as this picture does:

P.S.  How do you like the new blog design?  I'm tweaking the navigation bar still – more things to come!
