It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...


I've started humming Christmas tunes when I rock Little m at nap time. Is this in direct correlation to all the Christmas cards I'm making? Current count: 16 made.

Sparkle challenged us this week to use something from nature on our cards. I settled on this treeline rubber stamp I had from years ago. I went for simple and glitter:



The CPS sketch this week immediately made me think of a snowflake!

I bought a silver and gold pen set at Hobby Lobby the other day. I have become quite comfortable (or is it lazy) with hand written sentiments of late.


Thanks for stopping by y'all!!
