Counting down.....

....in only two more days I will be in flight for my trip out to sunny and gorgeous San Diego to visit my Brian & Mehgan (my son and daughter in law), for a wonderful little vacation!  I miss them so much and have been looking forward to this trip, since the day I bought my tickets, way back in April.

    Today, I'm also excited to be sharing a new post and some new Christmas themed cards with you over at the a2z Scrapbooking Blog where I hope I can inspire you to join our "Christmas or Fall" themed challenge this month.   Michelle will also be posted the WINNER of the August Challenge today, so please take a peek at her post too, to see if YOU were our lucky winner!!  Good Luck!!

     I am sharing two little 'sneak peeks' of my cards with you here, but to see all the details, I hope that you'll hop right on over to my a2z Blog post HERE!!

     This is the first card I created and it's all done in what I consider "Non-Traditional" holiday colors which is something I love to do with the majority of my Christmas cards.  I make all of my cards every year and each card is different, I never make two of the exact same cards, and really try to make the special for those who receive them.


   And this is a little peak at my second card, which I also created in the same color theme and also in a "Snowflake" design.  I love that Hero Arts also has some really gorgeous snowflake stamps and dies and will often feature them on my cards.  They are also perfect for "Winter" cards for those who celebrate their own winter Holiday.


    Please be sure to also check out all the fabulous Christmas/Winter and Fall themes projects we currently have in stock now at the a2z Scrapbooking Store.   And don't forget, as one of my blog followers, you can use my Design Team Promo Code - LISAH15 - to save 15% off of any orders you place that are $25.00 and up, (excluding shipping).   The code works on ALL products, from our exclusive Hero Arts Digital line, to the brand new Christmas/Fall Release and even our SALE goodies!    We are also also happy to place special orders, so if you are looking for a product and can't find it in the store, just let us know and Elizabeth will be happy to get it for you!   Thanks for shopping at a2z and thanks for visiting me and playing in our challenges.

Thanks so much! It's only a matter of hours now and I'll be on my way! I'll be in bed very early tonight to be up at 4 AM, to get to the airport on time! I love early morning flights because you get to your destination early, but I know I'll also be tired the first night, so hoping to nap on the plane! The good thing is that with the time change, I actually arrive in SD at 10:10AM their time...so I have a FULL day!! YIPPEE!!

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
