I am really a bit down in the dumps today.
Beautiful weather. No complaints there. The problem is here it is almost Christmas, and all of my decorations are back in Maine in a small storage unit... I don't want to go out and purchase more as I have plenty of ornaments all ready, just not here. Our son has given us a tree to use, it is pre-lit, so will be able to have a tree with lights.
I have sent out some Christmas Cards, sorry folks most of our cards this year will be store bought.
I have made a few homemade ones, but I am running out of time to make them all. This is the card I had designed. It may look simple, but is labor intensive. And costs 70 cents to mail one. I love you guys, I just can not afford to send you all one... The feathers were donated by our 2 resident swans, I collect the feathers from the ground when I take Lilia out.
So than I thought, I have the Crazy Bird dies & stamps and the Crazy Bird Things stamps, so will make a Christmas Card using one of the birds. 2 hours later.... Yes, it took me 2 hours to do this. The bird is popped up with Dimensionals. The eyes, wings, & beak were cut out using the dies, and those are popped up as well. The hat I had cut. I added Wink of Stella on the hat and bird. Used Perfect Pearls on the background and the Merry Christmas part. It is my Bah Humbug card...
I wonder which one of my friends is going to be the lucky one to receive it! Yes, only 1 of these.
Sunday I need to make some Peanut Butter Fudge for the 3 Maintenance Men and our Mail Man.
Take care my friends and hope you are enjoying this balmy weather that we are having!
Hugs,
Lynn
