cheers..one day late..kinda

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...
