merry christmas...

Happy Monday!

Where has the weekend gone? I cannot believe how quickly it passes by...

Today I have a couple things to share with you...first up is Card Patterns #40:

I hope that you aren't getting tired of Christmas themed cards...It is a great way to work on my stash for this year. I'm sending all my family and close non-blogging friends the same card...I bought a bunch of eco photo cards from Target last year...after Christmas...50% off...The kids and I are getting our annual family photo taken this week...I'll order them in black and white and bam! those cards are all done...easy smeasy. All my various card challenge christmas cards will be going postal to blogging friends :)

Okay, here's my take on CP#40..love the sketch!

All the patterned paper is MME...I teamed it up with the Cutting Cafe Merry Christmas Huge Printable Circle Word...it is part of a fabbie set.

Guess what?! The ultra generous Regina has given me the green light to give away that fabbie set!!!

Leave me a comment on this post...I'll leave commenting open until 11:59 PM Pacific on Saturday, November 14th. I'll announce the winner on Sunday, November 15th.

Good Grief, it seems that my blog posts get longer and longer these days...call me Chatty Cathy:)

I thought I'd share my loot'ola from the magnificent Garage Sale that I went to on Saturday! It was by the ultra-super Jennifer Pebbles!!!

These are the non-paper goods:

Seriously, I swooped down like the stealth ninja and went to town ladies...I couldn't believe her ultra low prices and the fun stuff that she was selling!!! Check out that huge wide vintage picture frame...I'm going to put cork in it!!! Printer trays...3 of them..oy...

Here are my paper goods..plus a coolio tin birdie:
59 - 12 x 12 papers {MM Mistletoe-glitter/flocked..scalloped..delish stuff!}

11 - rolls of ribbon

2 - cards of ribbon

3 - A Muse stamps

4 - Jenni Bowlin Minis

2 - Jenni Bowlin Crepes

6 - Thickers

1 - Sassafras wee bundle

7 - American Crafts Rub Ons

1 - pkg felt flowers

8 - sticker sheets {sassafras}

Okay, this is straight from my sista Naomi's blog...I had the opportunity to visit her in Florida last month:

We then headed out to My Scrapbook Shoppe where I saw my sistah chica grab a stash of i dont know what it was and she just headed straight to the cashier. I was so intrigued and followed her right away. The girl found a nice stash of 50% of Jenni Bowlin stuff. She took it all. You should have seen her it was hilarious. "mine...mine....all mine" Nah she hooked me up with some 4x4 sheets and some journaling sheets too.

Naomi is actually referring to my ultra stealth Ninja shopping moves...bahaha..I think it's the Asian in me...LOL...I always hit the sale racks first when I go into a store...my kids know better than to ask if they can have something that isn't on sale...they know what the word expensive is in Japanese...I'm always telling them things are "too takai"...

Okay, there you have it...thanks for hanging out with me:)
