Taking A Break and more

Hey friends! Happy New Year!
If you've stopped by lately, you've seen that I have not posted for awhile. Life is just too crazy!
I've decided to take a break from "Blog Land" for awhile.
I keep hearing this little small voice telling me to spend more time on HIM---studying His word and really getting to know Him. So that's what I'm going to do!
I'll check in every once in awhile and will post again----sometime.
Hugs and God Bless!

Hi Fellow Stampers!
Well it's all over, sad to say! The preparations are so intense and take so much time, and then it's over, just like that---kinda anti-climatic!
Hope Christmas was great for everyone---mine sure was! Lots of family, food, and friends!
I'm still in the Christmas mood so I have another card for you with a Christmas theme.

Merry Christmas Eve!
What a glorious time of the year! Abeit crazy busy, it's still wonderful! Hopefully by now, we are all mostly done with all the "THINGS" that have to be done and we can reflect on Jesus' birth. My family and I are going to the children's service at our church later this afternoon and then to my son's home for Christmas Eve dinner. Christmas Day we'll be going to my daughter's home to watch the grandkids open presents---I can't imagine anything better than to be with family right now! Hope whatever you are doing, I pray you are warm, happy and healthy this Christmas season!
Today I have a card (one of two) that I submitted to Heartfelt Creations sometime back for consideration for their Design Team. Althought I did not make the team, I enjoyed working with their stamps and dies. I don't think this card shows up very well in the photograph, but it's very sparkly and "snowy" in reality.

Happy Holidays everyone! I'm sure like all of you, I've been so busy that I've really neglected my blog lately. I know you all know what I mean!
Today I have a "Stylin' " snowman! I Love purple and green together and love how this one turned out, even if it's not very traditional Christmas colors.
