My Christmas Mantle

So Christmas is over, but I have a few things I'd like to share today.  The Design Team at Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps were asked to do a holiday post that could be about anything, so I decided to share my little "Christmas Mantle" and the story behind it:

We have a cat who thinks he's still a kitten (he's about a year and a half old), and he loves to climb trees and hang out in them, so I knew a Christmas tree was out of the question this year.  My friend Linda knew I was bummed about it, so she gave me this gorgeous garland to decorate with instead and I think it came out lovely!  I basically used my favorite ornaments and Christmasy things to decorate - that picture hanging up is actually a limited edition print of Independence Day at Goodale Park in 1965 in my town - Goodale Park is literally a stone's throw from my house, so it's cool that I have this picture hanging up (Jeremy's dad gave it to us).

But the most important part of my Christmas mantle is this guy:

This little guy was given to me by my buddy Meg the Christmas before she died (saying that still makes me feel like someone punched me in the stomach), that's a pic of her hanging off of his cute little antler.  This reindeer is my all-time most important Christmas decoration and always will be.  If you want to read about Meg, you can do it here but be warned, you might want to get some tissues.

I will forever be grateful to Meg for being a part of my life, and for introducing me to her mom Teresa, who has become a lifelong friend to me.  Cancer sucks, but it never wins.  We get to keep our memories and feel our loved ones spirits with us forever.  Merry Christmas.  Peace.

Wicked Wednesday & JSL Reminders

Good morning!  I went to a Christmas party last night with a group of people I've been friends with since I was a kid, and we had a great time.  Here's a pic:

 Kerrilynn, Amy, Gina, me, and Michelle (my sis).  :)  There's nothing like old friends, I love these girls so much!

Good morning!  Well, we have gotten 2 decent snow storms since I got here, and I've decided that shoveling is a good workout!  I'm just thankful I have friends to plow my driveway, I don't think I'm ready for that much of a workout!  LOL  Today we have a new challenge for you at:

Dilly Beans: Traditional Christmas Colors

Happy Friday the 13th!  ;)  We're expecting a big snowstorm tomorrow night - and I'm feeling really thankful that I have a few friends who've offered to plow my driveway for me!  LOL  You can bet I'll be taking them up on that.  I went and got some food & alcohol this morning, figuring the grocery stores will be a zoo tomorrow.  I can get snowed in for 4 days and be fine.  :)  As a matter of fact, it might even be fun.  As long as I don't lose power.  So keep your fingers crossed.  LOL

Today we have a new challenge for you at:

Just Some Lines & Prickley Pear

Good morning!  I'm finally feeling like I'm getting back into the swing of things, but it's been a whirlwind for sure. I've been keeping busy with just getting the house in order, cooking, baking, shoveling (ha!), and trying to get some crafting done.  It's funny how your creativity really does suffer when you've got a lot going on in your head.  I got a new laptop yesterday and stayed up late setting it up and all that - it's the new HP Envy and it's got the touch screen and apps, it's almost like a big phone.  Everything is just different on it, and it was frustrating at first but I'm getting the hang of it.  LOL  I hope to be back on track with my blog posts now that life is settling down. 

Anyway, we have a new month-long challenge for you at:

 

Just Some Lines December Challenge: Christmas or Winter

I am entering this into the following challenges:

And here is my Monday DT project for:

Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps Blog

I would like to enter this one into the:

Sometimes it's fun to leave an image out and let the sentiment be the focus, especially with such pretty papers.  :)  This sentiment is a rubber stamp from Prickley Pear called "to be jolly".  Ribbon & buttons are from Stampin' Up!  Paper is from echo park.

Have a great day, my friends.  If you're in an area where it's snowing - be careful!  Peace.

Catching Up!

OK so hey - I'm back!  :)  My life has been a crazy whirlwind and I had no computer or Internet service for like 2 weeks and it drove me NUTS!  Cass and I are all settled into our  new (rented) house and Jeremy went back to California to get Trev off to the Navy and stuff.  Tomorrow I'm spending the day crafting and I am so looking forward to it!

So here's some of the stuff I missed posting along the way, some of the challenges close tomorrow or Friday so be sure to check them out if you want to play along.

Dilly Beans: Brads or Eyelets & Jellypark: Scarecrow New Release

Happy Friday!  Today we have a new challenge for you at:

Dilly Beans: Brads or Eyelets

I totally stepped out of my comfort zone for this one - most of you know I normally gravitate towards the creepy-cute images, but Megan knows about my "thing" for peace, so when she came up with this beautiful image I just knew I'd find a use for it some day!  It's called #547: Peace Framed, and I paper-pieced it with digi paper and added a bunch of coordinating colored brads.

And this next card is showcasing our new image, 266: Scarecrow at:

I colored him with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits, fussy-cut him out and attached him to my card front.  Papers are from Authentique - I added some gold pearl stickers, a sentiment from SRM Stickers, and some hay I borrowed from the barn... hee hee

A Day for Daisies - Add Some Gold

Hello friends - what a busy weekend!  I've got today to finish up one final ATC, then pack up the rest of my crafty stuff.  I still have one final load of laundry to do, and some kitchen stuff to pack and then I'll be ready to get on my plane in the morning.  I'm super excited, full of optimism and anticipation.  Feels almost like Christmas Eve.  LOL  I cannot wait to hug my mom.  And my sister.  And my friends.  hee hee  I'm kind of a hugger.  Anyway, I will be checking in from my parents computer for the next week - I hate being away from my laptop.  LOL

Today I have a card for the:

I used the current freebie, Fairy Wish, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and paper-pieced (her dress) - then I added Stickles to her wings.  Paper is from Authentique - ribbon is from Stampin' Up!  I added some gold pearl stickers and a sentiment made with my Dymo Caption Maker.  Peace.

Swiss Pixie Santa's Helper & From the Heart Balloon Ride & Sketch

Good morning!  We went and had dinner at Jeremy's mom's house last night so Cass and I could say goodbye to her and her husband David.  She made us a yummy ham dinner with the most delicious potates au gratin - she is such a good cook.  Today I have 5 final projects to finish up before packing up all of my "stuff".  I kind of get anxiety packing it all up - but it should only be 2 weeks before I'm unpacking it all in my new home.  I leave in 2 days.  TWO!  Talked to my mom yesterday and she sounded much better, they removed the artificial bone that her body was rejecting (from her elbow).  She was in a lot of pain the first day or two, but she's starting to feel a bit better now.  She's got a long recovery ahead of her and will never regain 100% function of her right arm, but she is a trooper and not one to feel sorry for herself, so she'll be just fine.  Thanks to everyone for keeping her in your thoughts & prayers, I appreciate it.  :)

Today I have a card for the:

LOL  It's going to be a whirlwind when I get there between visiting my friends & family, celebrating the holidays, moving into a new home.... etc.  I have a feeling I won't feel like "real life" hits me until after the new year!  And by then Jeremy & Trev will be making their plans to come visit in February, so at least I won't have time to miss them too much!  :)

Blogging Buddies & a Christmas Card

Hello friends!  I had the best weekend - first of all, my buddy Glo visited me yesterday and we had a great day.  Her hubby brought her and they stayed for dinner and we had a lot of laughs - they learned that I'm a crazy-psycho-fly-freak and that I cannot rest until I kill it once I see one in my house.  hee hee   Here's me and Glo:

I just love her!  (And on a total side note here - if you know what is on my wicked awesome new T-shirt, then you totally rock.  Leave me a comment if you do, I'm always curious to see who shares my obsession with... ha!  I'm not gonna tell ya.  ;) LOL)

And then this morning Cass and I drove about an hour and a half to Walnut Creek to meet 3 more of my blogging/crafting buddies for breakfast, and here we are:

Me, Donna, Kim, and Denice.

So here's the thing - I just adore these ladies, and I didn't even have to meet them in person to know that.  But it was awesome being able to chat and visit together in real life.  I'm very thankful for the great friendships I've formed as a result of the blogging and crafting community.  Love you girls - thanks so much for making the effort to get together!
