New Year's Card

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends.  It sure came and went quickly this year.  Here is a quick card I made for New Year's
It's a regular sized card and the color of cardstock used is basic black, brushed mestallic silver, whisper white and the glitter silver paper.
I used the eyelet border punch and the Forever Young and Work Play stamp sets.

Catching up with Friends

What a fun time we had yesterday catching up with friends!  We make plans ever year to get together for lunch and exchange gifts, play games and just visit.   Most everyone lives and hour or more away anymore so we rarely get together.   The kids have all known each other since birth so they just get a kick out of the pictures we have taken year after year of them.  They are all getting so big!

These are the cute socks we gave to all the girls

Christmas Swap

We were at the Ronald McDonald house this week stamping with the families for a wonderful night with them.  After, our group of Stampin Up! demonstrator's had a Christmas exchange and swap.  Here are a few things from the night. Sorry the pictures are so bad, the lighting  is so dark and dreary here today.  Where's the snow!  Also in the picture above, one of the ladies made these cute coffee cozies with our Stampin Up!  designer fabric.  It is just adorable!  I have more to share with you later as well.

Decking the Halls, Walls and All!

Boy am I slow in getting into the holiday this year.  Is anyone else feeling like the days are passing quicker than you can blink an eye?!
I was able to get a few things out and decorate that last week,  here are just a few little things that I have been putting  out.  I love this advent calendar above, the girls love to check it everyday to see if there is a treat awaiting them.  You know how much I love vintagy things, it has that vibe to it as well as this little cute snowman. 

My girlfriend gave me this neat basket/vase holder so I put it to good use by putting some Christmas foliage in it and a cute little white winter bird.  I used quite a few birds throughout my decor this year.

This is a tray my Husband bought me last year and a cute pairs of resin skates.

I used a candle holder and filled it up with the vintage Christms vintage Shiney Bright ornaments.

And here is our tree.....

Orange Cloves Decor and The Bellevue Botanical Gardens

I love making these orange and cloves for Christmas decor, not to mention the

yummy smell it makes throughout the house.  When I was little my Mom used to sit us  down  with oranges and cloves and we would decorate them to our hearts content.  We then wrapped them in a light tulle and tied them with ribbon to give to neighbors and family.  I love the smell!

Last night we went to visit our local beautiful Christmas lights at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens.  They just keep getting better and better every year.  If you are local these lights are a must and this week it is free to get in Dec. 12th, 13th and 14th.  HERE is the link for information on location and hours of operation.  It is stunning!
