So on Saturday morning I woke up at 4 am...got caught up on my Google Reader {that's a big deal for me} and got crafty!
For those of you that don't know, I have 2 crafting sanctuaries...one is a hallway and one is a room. I'm fortunate because it helps me use stuff that I have on hand....the craft room has my PTI stamps...hence the use of the PTI sentiment....
I seem to have most of my Christmas supplies in the room too...
Changing up the photography...that card is sitting on the upholstered stool that I sit on...gold and white damask...it really is quite lovely....I don't need a back on my chair since I always sit on the edge of everything {yes, it is so my feet hit the ground..}..anywho's the stool is on my desk, in front of the window...still need my tent lamps/bulbs for the room...
This card combines the Jingle Belles challenge:
I'm a big fan of the MM Blossoms & Buttons sets...mine are from 2007 so they are in the plastic boxes and not the sweet jars....but hey, they still work:)
Did you see the latest Paper Issues Challenge?

You know it, you love it, you have rolls and rolls(and rolls) of it!
Whether you are a Washi girl, a Dymo girl, a masker, a taper, a candlestick maker, we want to see what you have made!
