take note...

Hello and Happy Christmas Eve!

I cannot believe that it is already the 24th.  We woke up early yesterday and took a brisk walk to the local Starbucks {in the dark..around 6:30 am}...kept wanting to turn around and go back home but was glad that we went for the exercise.  That toasted bagel with cream cheese never tasted so good:)  I hope to do that on a semi-regular basis...great exercise and love the destination.

We also braved the malls yesterday too...actually 2 different malls because I could not find a specific gift...grrrr...I ended up finding it and crossing my fingers that she likes it.

I have a couple of 4 inch cards to share today.  Darin asked me to whip up a card for his great aunt that will be turning 90 next week:

Although it might not initially look like it, that Echo Park journaling card has several layers on it...do you spot a portion of a doily sticker?  The left tab sticker is layered up with a sentiment.

Since I had all my Echo Park For the Record out, I decided to make another card...this is for a friend who will be celebrating a birthday soon.  Ongoing joke with her regarding hugging...I'm not much of a hugger unless it is with the kids {who are so sweet to give their petite momma bone crushing bear hugs} and with, or course, Darin:)  Is it an Asian thing?  perhaps...but I have 2 Asian friends that are huge huggers...

I hope everyone has a terrific weekend...happy happy holidays!!!!!
