Winter has come!

I have realized that when the Advent calendars start I am officially WAY behind on my holiday cards. :) So I propose that the rest of the world pause for a day or two so I can catch up, send them out and be the envy of all my friends. Asking too much you say? Why, what can you mean? *wink*

I was going to make all one card, and I have some parts of the one design started (the snowmen from the Holiday Lineup set), but now I realise I really need more Bashful Blue paper than I actually have, so waiting for an order will put me that much more behind. So I need to get thinking. I could get a light blue paper from Michaels or Joann's and just learn my lesson for next year...although maybe I should actually organize my card list first so I know exactly how many I need to get together...I love days when I feel like I am just chasing my tail! LOL

Today I am working, and tonight we have the first sold out night for the Holiday Nights in Greenfield Village program. I love this program, especially when the snow is falling and the visitors are in really holiday cheer. I know I am going to freeze for a while outside, but it;s such a great program it is worth it. Hopefully the snow will let up a bit though and the wind will die because it is whipping around quite a bit today. Fingers crossed!

I have a couple new cards to post, but our internet was being persnickety on Thursday and the kids are catching colds, so my computer time has been somewhat limited. :) Mom duty calls! I saw a sneak peek of a few of the new stamp sets in the Spring SU catalogue...very cute! What will I do without the current In Colors though??? Must stockpile...

Ok, I'm off. Hope all in well in the various necks of the woods from any peekers to this page.

Thanksgiving Turkeys!

Happy belated Thanksgiving!

So I survived my first Thanksgiving dinner (well, that I cooked anyway). And most importantly, there were no calls that someone had gotten food poisoning from my food, so I call it a success! We had 12 for dinner (9 adults, 3 kids) and the company couldn't have been better. After getting stuffed we spent the evening lounging and played the new digital Trivial Pursuit.

One of the extra touches that I put on the table were these little turkey placecards. I saw a great video demonstration posted by dawn5377 on YouTube and just had to try it out. I made little placecards and stamped the person's name on it, and tucked the turkey on top. I kept a few of them and they will be great accents for a Thanksgiving scrapbook page, once the pictures get downloaded. I hope you enjoy them! :)
