This is my Christmas card I mailed out .. I used my tiny  Karen Foster snap stamps for our names .. I have posted this card awhile ago ..I loved the way its so simple .so I made  a ton more  and just added  our names  to the snowman famiy ,  But I ran into a snag .. I ran out of whisper white..( OH the horror I know Huh?)  so the last handful of cards I  cut the whisper white into 1/4 ‘s and then  layered on bashful blue .. I also dry embossed the circle around the snowmens faces  with the 1 1/4 circle punch  then  swirled  bashful blue around  to highlight their faces .. The longest part to making these cards were 1st finding all our names in those tiny alphabets  from Karen foster .. But after that it was soo easy  and quick..

Yesterday I had a  blessing  happen to me .. Daughter and I were finishing up her  shopping  for Christmas gifts and  as we were leaving My cell ph must have fell out of my purse  without me knowing it had .. once I got home my mom called  and asked me to look  for my phone to see if I was missing  it .. sure enough It was Gone . My mom then  proceeded  to tell me a woman  named Nancy called my mom   from my cell ph directory  and told her she had my ph  and she then gave my mom her  home # and   Nancy  told her she wanted me to call her in a 1/2 hour . WOWZIE I  1st went and made her a  little  bag of goodies up to give her for her kindness  I  then called  her But no answer .. she then called me and I met up with her at her home  and she gave me  my ph back  Praise God!! I gave her a couple things I had left from my craft show  stash  she invited me in to her beautiful home  and  she opened her gift/s  she ooo and aaahh over everything and then I hugged her  Thank God there are people  still in this world  that are kind , and thoughtful & Honest .. What a sweet woman .. She then  told me  she knew how It would feel if it were her cell ph … Very Thankful  for  Nancy !!

My moms eye surgery went great yesterday .. Thank you all for your prayers  and  sweet comments yesterday ..This morning  I will be taking her to see the  eye doc for her follow-up ..  Jessie doesnt have school today . She   took part of a senior high  auction  at school and pitched in  a couple bucks for the principal  .. get this  anyone that  gave  a doller to go towards the principal   would get a day off of school .. so thats why she is off today ..

Last night I finished up wrapping  Christmas  gifts.. YAHOO thats done .. well actually I have 2 sweaters for my daughter  to wrap but everything else is Done!!  We will be celebrating Christmas with my mom tommorrow  kind weird  since we have no snow  here in Michigan  and its NOT really Christmas Day . But next week we are leaving for TN  for  Christmas and  tommorrow is  the only  really good day to  celebrate   our Christmas with my mom ..

P.S I was told by my daughter  a couple days ago that her class wants me to do a stampin fundraiser for her  class in March sometime .. I am excited  about this  and I am leaning towards doing a stamp-a-stack with her class  also providing a dinner for this event  , All   fees will be donated to my daughters class for their 2010  senior trip  I will open this up to anyone and everyone that wants to come  and take part of this event  at my daughters school  If intested Please  email me * the link is right under my photo on the left hand side*  and I will put you on  the list for future updates  when this  event  gets more details of costs, date, and times  ..

The Gift!

The dearest gift on Christmas day

Is not beneath  the tree.

Its  one that doesn’t need a box

that matters the most to me .

No pretty  wrapping  or shiny bow

adorns  this wonderous gift.

It fills my heart  with Peace and Joy

and gives my soul a lift!

What gift could possibly be so grand

That gives me everything ?

Its a baby boy born this day-

My Savior, Lord  and King
