Hello! Thursday...and a Christmas card?
Perhaps you don't notice that I typically play along with the gals over at jingle belles every Wednesday...it is one challenge that I've been able to keep up with on a weekly basis. I actually had my card done on Tuesday night, it was even photog'd but that's it..nothing else...to me it is everything else that takes so long...photo editing...writing up the post....formatting...formatting...formatting...more photo editing:)
So anywho's, the gals over at jingle belles theme was
You were to create a card using scraps..if you've been following me, you know that last november I dedicated the month to Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather...can you believe I still have some paper left? One of my FAV designs from that collection is the red holly one...I had about exactly the strip that I have on my card:) Strips are a great way to use leftovers from those 6x6 cut-a-ways {is that a word?}...
**birthday celebration**
One of our latest birthday traditions that we've been enjoying is Benihana...if you haven't been, it's totally worth it. We always enjoy ourselves and the food is pretty good:)
**where does the time go**
I can't seem to get ahead in stuff...I've been perpetually behind on my reader and **gasp** I still need to cast my Gallery Idol vote...sooooooo difficult to pick, all you ladies did a fabulous job! So, I'm going to try to change up my scheduling {yeah, yeah, I say that alot but I still blog and blurf 7 days a week}...but my goal is not to blog and blurf 7 days a week...so if I go MIA, you'll know why...

Oh yea, that GI thing. I'd better go vote, too. Hah! I was probably the first vote they got!
I try to go off-grid on weekends to recharge otherwise I might go crazy.
I finally got around to casting my GI vote but it wasn't easy.
Love Benihana! We had a Beninhana-type restaurant here years ago which we went to for all our special occasions. so sad it is no longer. :(
As for me ...of late... I stop playing with challenges!! hugs...xoxo
I've taking the blogging and blurfing a whole lot slower lately (had to). Miss it very much though. Lost contact with a lot of people because of that. :( But I completely understand your struggle!
Deanne :)
ps: BENIHANA!!!!!! you have no idea how much i miss food that you actually CHEW!!! :)
pss: i don't really *BELIEVE* you will stick to a lesser schedule with time for yourself and a little relaxin' built in... but it *IS* a great idea and i support your effort! :) :) :) (i could give YOU lessons in slacking and bein' selfish in exchange for the C&S if ya want, lol!) :)
Good for you taking a little bloggie break. 7 days a week of blurfing is a lot for anyone.
I'm terribly behind on my reading too - you work so hard on your blog & you always have a friendly comment for everyone. You must only sleep 3 hours a night!
love the pretty strips of the PP for your holiday card! you are SO set this year for christmas!
