Let The Gifting Begin...

With all the Christmas cards I made I can't believe  I still forgot people...

So the mad rush is on.

I still have 3 aprons, 2 Hello Kitty throws with pillows,

and  a quilt to make...

and 4 days to do it...

Cheese and Crackers... I am in so deep...

Happy Birthday Justice...

My baby girl turned 18... Woo Hoo!

What a happy day...

We had a small celebration with just us, and on Saturday, she has her party

She receives one gift on her birthday morning, 

and one when we have her cake.

She prefers to save the rest for party day.

So her birthday gift this morning was an anime dvd she wanted.

Her gift with cake was an Amazon gift card.

I made the gift card holder.

To make the gift card holder I used:

Image from Bugaboo

Corner punch

Sakura pens: 803, 936, 927, 920, 944, 12, 49

Christmas Flower...

Christmas is coming... 

For us that means decorations galore...

But not until my daughter Justice's birthday party ends...

We like to keep those two apart.

When I think of Christmas, I always think of trees and poinsettias...

To me Poinsettia is the flower of Christmas...

Is there another? 

I don't know...

To make this card I used:

Tan Cardstock

Lace from Always A Story blog candy... Woo Hoo! I love it...
