I have a quick, cute card to share with you today.  The video shows all the details.  Life is good but very busy, so I will let the video give you the 411 about this one.  Be sure to head here to get those items that may be discontinued soon. Thanks for watching.  Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.

This may look like a little thimble to you, but to me, it means so much more.  The story goes back more than 30 years to when I was a little girl.  One day while visiting my grandmother she told me about this little gold thimble and said that when she died, she wanted me to have it.  I'm not sure how old I was at the time, but I never expected my sweet grandma to go to heaven when I was 11.  After she died, we stayed at my grandfather's house for awhile helping take care of things, but my little gold thimble wasn't found.  Eventually, someone found it and made sure that it made its way to me.  I treasured this little gift from my grandmother, moving it from place to place and state to state every time the Lord had a new place for us. My 40th birthday came and was truly a difficult day.  I was exhausted emotionally and physically while working through my dear mother-in-law's recent stroke.  There was no time to celebrate that day.  For so...

The chance to win the planner bundle from Close To My Heart and DJ's Sundries is almost over.  To celebrate Marvelous Monday, today I am offering double entries.  That means every order placed on my CTMH page will receive 2 entries and every $25 you spend over $50 will earn you 2 more.  Head on over to www.djssundries.ctmh.com to join in the fun.   Thanks for stopping by today.  Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.

I was finally able to spend a few hours in my craftroom tonight.  These simple Christmas cards were just some of the things on tonight's agenda.  I simply grabbed some 12X12 paper, some colored paper from my stash and simple white cardstock. The start, I cut 6X6 squares from Botanical Noel by recollections.  I then cut 5X5 squares from plain Georgia Pacific cardstock. I then grabbed some red and green cardstock from my stash and cut 4" stockings from Cricut's "Trim the Tree" cartridge.  It's an older cartridge that has several interesting shapes for Christmas. I then stamped the sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black ink and the "Merriest Christmas Holiday" from Close To My Heart.  Unfortunately, this is an older stamp set and you may have to find it on Ebay.  Finally, I attached the stocking to the card using my Xyron 250.  It was a really quick card that is easy to mass produce. Thanks for stopping by today.  Remember to take some t...
