Sketch #396~Wonderful Year, Winter Woods, Stampin Up Merry Christmas

I hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving.  

We had a wonderful time.  I am still trying to 

unwind from the flurry of baking and such.  

I made 3 treats.  Seems excessive for our little family.

But wanted to cover all grounds.  

I made the usual pumpkin pie, and then pumpkin

bars with cream cheese frosting.  Lastly the ever 

so sweet chocolate, caramel oatmeal bars, that

only my son and I like.  

So much to be thankful for, Our home, health, family.

I have some happy news.  I won a stamp 

set a few weeks back, from Linda, at the stamping school

I made her a fun column card and she featured it

in a sweet little video.  I wasn't able to download it,

but if you go to her fb page you will see it.  I 

just took a snap shot of it here below.  

My dear friend Nancy from Nanny's Pansy Patch,

actually told me about the sweet video, and 

gave me the idea to post it here on my blog. 

I'm so grateful for her friendship.  

Sometimes I just don't have all my little ducks 

in a row.  So it's nice to have friends help me out.  

The card I made today, I will submit 

to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Wonderful Year

Stampin Up:  Winter Woods

I really like the birch trees I stamped in the background.  

I decorated the pine tree with that lovely shimmery 

embossing pasted, and gems.  I added the adhesive 

snowflakes around the sentiment.  

While I was decorating my Christmas tree card,

my darling husband was decorating outside trees.  

Well I've shared quite a bit today, and I also just 

realized I deleted the pictures off my phone, 

because my little phone is on the fritz.  So now how 

will I share them to instagram?  Oh what joy.  I'm 

always doing something to keep my kids busy helping me. 

One more reason to thankful.  They do indeed help. 💕

Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
