Good very early morning Santas...Lisa, I hope you are feeling better. This time of year it sure isn't easy to feel yucky. Most people have so much going on they don't have time to feel sick. I haven't been up to too much. Trying to think of what I can do for Ron for his birthday. It's the 28th. Then I wanted to put something in my hometown paper for my mother ... a memorial of sorts...however, I don't think I have enough time now. She passed away 20 years ago the 27th so I wanted to put a poem or something in the paper. Oh well, I guess I could contact them online and see if I'm too late right? I wonder if that is expensive to do tho...hmm...I guess I have some checking to do.
Thank you so Much for the beautiful card and Poem, It really made my day! Thank you all for your thoughts and Prayers.
Hello everyone!!! I miss y'all soooo much!!!!!!!! The holidays have me busy with family and on top of that I have to go thru a big hassle to get onto SCS now for some reason. DH said he will look at it for me on Monday. He said it may just be a java update or something like that. I have no idea about these things so I will let him check it out. Even tho I am MIA please know I am thinking of you!!!!! I do hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!!!!! And if you don't celebrate Christmas....I still hope you have a wonderful day!!!!! Huggs to all !!!!!! I will be coming back on Monday and I will get all caught up on the chatter. And I will be able to spend lots of time making sure we find out who is missing a gift and where that gift is. From what I am told..all Santas have mailed their gifts so I am hoping it's just because the mail is slow due to the holidays. Let's keep our fingers crossed ladies. Hugggggs.
Merry Christmas everyone! I know I will be getting my Secret Santa gift late because she was waiting for an order... I figure it's a nice way to extend Christmas a little into next week!!!
Sheila,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF THE GOODIES!!
I just LOVE the pencil/pen cup with my name on it! So clever!
And the clear pail, decorated so pretty with the flowers and ribbon! I've never seen one of these pails, let alone decorated one. And the ribbon and glitters inside will be put to good use too!!
Now, the decorated box filled with multi colored flowers - BRILLIANT!! I just LOVE THE COLORS YOU USED FOR THE BOX! The saying is really nice and the flowers and lace trimming is so very pretty! I gave a little squeal of glee when I opened it and saw it stuffed with the flowers!! I think that I posted that using flowers was new to me and that I didn't own many. Now I can use them a lot and not worry about running out, ha ha!
The other items in the box - oh my goodness! Chock full of creativity and lots of ideas for me to copy hee hee hee!! I love, love, love the clear picture frames that you decorated!! The one with the fish is just the cutest EVER! And the amount of ribbon, buttons, tags, etc. are SO appreciated! The little Riley notebook is wonderful and the decorated tin is precious!! You have a good eye for color coordination!
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I love all of it and it's obvious that you put a lot of effort and thought into this gift to me and I am grateful for that! I hope that you and your family enjoyed Christmas and wish you a happy and healthy New Year!
Later today I want to take pictures of everything you made and put it on my blog. I'll let you know when I get that done. I want all of you to see the adorable goodies that Sheila made for me.
Goals for 2015 50 scrapbook pages/50 cards---progress 35/50 cards Complete my daughter's wedding scrapbook album Spend more time enjoying my friends and not so much time obsessing on work!!!
Morning Yvonne!! How's everything with you? Did you enjoy Christmas? I am going through crafting withdrawals... I'm hoping to have some time to play today
Hey Lisa! Christmas was wonderful here at the cabin! How about you? Was Santa good to you? And I hear ya with the crafting withdrawals! I too am hoping to get some time in today!
Yes Yvonne, Santa was fantastic I got a gift certificate to my favorite stamping store and it is killing me that the store isn't open today! LOL!!! I want to buy a new stamp set.. maybe one by Just Rite... it's so hard to decide! LOL!!
I'm not going anywhere today, Lisa. I hate crowds and there will definately be crowds today. Unless I go late...but don't think I will today.
I got gift cards too! You can never go wrong with a gift card. I got $60 to Michaels (imagine the goodies and with 50% off coupons!!??) $30 to Dunkin Donuts, $40 to Walmart. Also got a Big Bite!
Good morning ladies. It sounds like Santa was good to y'all. I had the best gift anyone could have ever given me and that was watching the smiles on my grandchildren's faces when they opened their gifts. And I did get a very nice Mark Martin (Nascar) hoodie from my sister in law too. And let's not forget the AWESOME package I received from my Secret Santa...Ashdale.
I am going to try and figure out where the missing packages are today for those of you that have not received them yet. Thank you for being patient little elfs....and thank you all for being such AWESOME Secret Santas. This swap has been so much fun to host. I sooo look forward to our second Secret Swap....the Stupid Cupid Swap.....hehehe I know y'all will make it successful just like you did this one. Thank you!!!!!
Hello Everyone
Happy Boxing Day my fellow Canadians
I made it Toni!!! Believe it or not, I actually made it until Dec 25 until I opened the package from my Secret Santa. Wow! What a fantastic bucket of goodies I so graciously received from galet1/Toni.
First off my clear paint can was beautifully decorated with snowmen (my fav) and the gorgeous rosette on the top. Inside -- holy smokes! There was
tons of bling of all shapes and sizes. An adorable candy train from Cats PJs and teeny little dies from MFT (my all time fav). They are sooooooooooo cute, I cant wait to use them. There was also a handmade pin in a decorated matchboook holder and another notepad holder personally decorated. I also received a few memo holders, ribbon and reinforcements from Tim Holtz.
Thank you so very much galet1/Toni. You went above and beyond and I very very happy
I hope everyone had a wonderful Chrimstas/Boxing Day and will have a fantastic, safe New Year!
Wow, Lori it sounds like your Secret Santa was good to you. Yay!!!!! Now what is boxing day??? I sure hope the rest of our elf's get their gifts this week. Let's all keep our fingers and toes crossed shall we?
Dani, Boxing Day is the day following Christmas. The traditional celebration of Boxing Day included giving money and other gifts to charitable institutions, needy individuals, and people in service jobs. It's celebrated in the commonwealth countries, England, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. For the most part today, it's simply a holiday for most. ;)
Thank you so much for the notebook and the index cards, and all the stamped images and embossed layers! The reindeer bookmark has been stolen by my 4 year old, and the pretty crocheted cloth is in my kitchen now. I love all the loot, you really spoiled me with all the clear stamps and embossing folders, and crazy awesome embellishments! I could not have asked for a better Santa, I swear. You went so far above and beyond, thank you!
I just wanted to pop in and say thank you to my wonderful Santa Alison (ali1974)! I got the package weeks ago but only just recently had the time to dig through it, I was saving the joy for Christmas since it's been a lean year for us
