Happy Sunday...

   I am not feeling so hot today which is not so good, because I had planned on getting out some of my Christmas decorations and now I don't have the energy.  On the upside, I am slowly getting things done and taking some time away from my blog and a lot of my challenges, has been hard--but has helped me keep up.   I really LOVE Christmas and that is my main focus now, but I know that Christmas will be over before we know it, so I'll have a very long winter and plenty of time then for blogging and challenges. 

    This afternoon,  I hope to finish stamping my Christmas cards and then that will be one task that has been completed.  Woohoo!  If that goes well I will have them all in the mail within the next day or two.  I am also planning to start on some wrapping and that is a big project, so I will simply do a few packages each day.  I really do LOVE to wrap, but it become uncomfortable very quickly with Fibro and I've never found a easy way to do it.  I also LOVE lots of pretty ribbons and fun colors, so I try hard to make all the gifts look lovely.

    So..that's my plans for the next few days...what are you up to?   Are you working on Holiday plans?  Did you finish your Christmas shopping?   Luckily, I think I am almost done with shopping and what is not done, may end up being easy last minute gifts...like gift certificates and cash, which are gifts that are usually loved by all.

    I also wanted to stop in and share a few new cards and also update you on some fun events.    I have exciting NEWS coming up at the end of the week, so please be sure to stop by.   I am designing a card for a new challenge over at  'Claudia and Company' and that will be posted this week.   I was the lucky winner of last month's challenge and as part of my prize I won this Guest Designer spot for the December challenge! I also wanted to share a new card I created today for the current challenge, which is Challenge # 6 and is a color themed challenge -  The colors for this challenge are Brown, Cream and a color of your choice, and I chose blue!  You still have time to play along and can find all the details on the challenge blog.  This Challenge ends on December 7th, and the new challenge will begin on the 8th!

   And speaking of challenge, I also want to remind you ll that we have a really fun challenge going on right now over at Baby Bud Designs.  Please HOP on over to the blog for more details!!  I would also like to invite you all to join our Baby Bud Group over at SSC or at CDAC!   Both groups are open to all and we'd love to see your Baby Bud Creations!   And speaking of Baby Bud creations, this is one of my most recent cards and this one features 'Holly' the latest addition to the Baby Bud Family.  

  And lastly I have a few more of my recent Christmas Cards to share and I hope they will inspire you to create some fun new cards.  Have a wonderful Sunday and Happy Crafting!!!
