Hello everyone...it's been a while hasn't it? I did have plans to be on here more often but life just happens. I have been busy these last few weeks but still managed to make 35 christmas cards. And they're all in the mail! Phew!
Anyhow...on with the show! I'm so excited to show this creation I made last night. As I was looking through my stash of craft goodies, I was thinking about how much I'd love to find a unique way of making a fireplace and I happened upon the PTI set "Just the Ticket" and that's exactly what it was. When positioned just right those tickets made perfect bricks for a fireplace. What do you think? I did a ribbon treatment for the 'mantle' and 'hung' those lovely PTI die cut stockings. It's odd that the first time I use that stamp set it would be for a Christmas card. I'm going to try something with the ticket strip die. Hopefully I'll be able to share that with you in a more timely fashion.
Tomorrow I'm heading out of town with my daughter as she has a scheduled ultrasound for her tummy. She's had multiple issues these past couple of months and now we're having to run a multitude of tests. Sick kids cause so much worry! My son has been home with a high fever these last couple of days and I felt guilty for not being at home with him. It's such a strange and sad feeling knowing that last year at this time I was at home full time with kids being able take care of them while they were sick and able to answer all the doctor's questions because I knew my kids so well. Now...not so much. We are fortunate that we have family daycare so I don't necessarily have to miss work. Hubby did stay at home today though and that made me feel much more comfortable not being at home.
That's my life for now and I'm looking forward to the Christmas holidays. If I'm not around before then have a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2011
