Christmas Kisses ...

Hey Ya's!  Hope you are all doing beautifully!!!

I've been trying to get Christmas cards and tags done, and I think I'm making a little progress?  hahahaha!  This time of year is quite fun isn't it?  Bodhi has another 4 day weekend .. and I'm hoping we can go see that Big Hero 6 movie ... I keep hearing how cute it is.  :)

Well, here's one of the cards I've finished:

When I think of Christmas, it also makes me think of wonderful times in the kitchen making all kinds of delicious meals and yummy desserts!  The sight and thought of cooking and baking makes me feel warm & cozy inside.  I don't do a fabulous job in the kitchen (I'm just mediocre!) .. hahaha .. but I know a dear friend of mine who absolutely DOES .. and this is for her ..  :)

For the recipe, I handwrote "Christmas Kisses" then signed my name at the bottom ... 

Wishing you all a SAFE & HAPPY Thanksgiving!  Thank you so very much for visiting me and I'll see you again soon!

Hugs,

Elise

Let It Snow ...

 Hey Ya's!  Hope you're all having a beautiful week!

I've made another Christmas card .. this time using Tim Holtz Ice Skates die which I bought last year.  I love this die so much .. and since it was too big to fit on a card with a coloured image .. it was a great opportunity to put it smack dab in the center!  hehe!  :)

Gosh, can you believe that December is less than 2 weeks away?!  My goodness!  Are you all ready for the upcoming holidays?  :)

Well, I wish you all a most beautiful day and thank you so much for stopping by to visit me!  I really appreciate it!  I'll see you again soon!

Hugs,

Winter Wonderland Tags ...

Hey Ya's!  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

We finally had some cold weather on Sunday and I absolutely LOVED it!  I really enjoy the cold months .. I love cozy-ing up and cuddling while watching movies with Bodhi.  :)  He's getting bigger by the day .. so I have to enjoy every single moment right?  Soon he may not want to cuddle .. omgosh .. *breathe in breathe out* .. hope that will never happen!  lol!

Well, the past couple of years, I've seen so many people do cards/tags with Christmas trees made out of buttons!  And this year I thought, "I want to give it a try because I love it!"

On the first red tag, I stamped one of LOTV's Christmas sentiments from "Set 75 - Christmas Wishes" on the side.

Are you all working on some Christmas projects as well?  :)

I hope you all have a beautiful week and thank you SO much for visiting me!  I'll see you again soon!

Winter Wishes ...

Hey Ya's!  Hope you are all having a beautiful week so far!

My little Bodhi is having a lot of days off this month of November .. and it gives me a chance to hear more of the funny things he says.  :)  I'll share one with you and hopefully give you a giggle ...

One evening before dinner, my husband tells me, "Man, I still have a headache!  I don't know what it is."  

Bodhi chimes in, "Did you have a headache from yesterday?"

Hubby says, "No, from this morning."

Bodhi says, "Whew that's a good sign."

Hubby, "Why?"

Bodhi says, "Well if you had it from yesterday, then that would mean you might have a concession."

omg .. hahhahahahahahahah!  They learned the word CONCUSSION at school .. and Bodhi kinda got the word slightly twisted.  ;)  hehehe!  But I love how he's so serious when he says it you know?  lol!  :)

Well, I've had a play at another Christmas card and I've used some goodies from the Ribbon Girl store such as:

Amelia Lace, White Church Window Guipure Lace, Phoebe Lace, and Cheesecloth

Then for my wooden banner I stamped Lili of the Valley's sentiment stamp from "Set 75 - Christmas Wishes".

Well, I wish you all a most wonderful day and thank you so much for visiting me!  Can you believe it's almost the weekend again?!  Sheeesh!  hehe!

I'll see you again soon!

Hugs,

Elise

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas ...

Hey Ya's!  Hope you all are having a beautiful week so far!

My little Bodhi is having a little break from school .. so it's been nice having him at home with me.  :)  He's getting into such an interesting phase .. where he has facial and verbal expressions that I don't expect to pop out at the spur of the moment .. and has me in fits of laughter!  I can honestly say that he's a pretty cool kid to hang out with.  ;)  hehe! ;)

Oh and yes!  As for our Halloween out together .. we had a lot of fun!  We brought along our silly dog Max (who didn't have a costume BUT wore a glowstick necklace like the rest of us).   A lot of people said how much they loved Star Wars and loved Bodhi's costume .. so it made him smile from ear to ear.  :)  Max was awesome .. never took his eyes off of Bodhi every time that Bodhi walked up to a door even if people were petting him.  Then we came home and passed out candy so we could see other people's costumes.  :)  All in all .. a great night!

Anyway ... here's a Christmas card I've made.  And I've used Lili of the Valley's gorgeous "Set 75 Christmas Sentiments" at the bottom of this card (I looooove their sentiments and think it's a "must have")!

Well, I wish you all a most wonderful day!  Thank you so much for stopping by to visit me .. I'd love to hear from you!  :)  See you again soon!

Hugs,

Elise
