Peace on Earth

I have a couple of things to share with you today!

First of all, Char in So Cal you have until this morning at 9:00 a.m. EST to email me with your information as the winner of my blog candy!  If I don't hear from Char, I'll draw a number for a new winner!  I'd really hate to have to do that though, so Char please get in contact with me!

Second, my friend Darlene sent me this super-fun poem yesterday morning and I just have to share it with you all!  I'm supposing many of us can see ourselves as the main character in this poem!

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas, I'm glued to the tree.
I'm wondering what Santa brought just for me.
Could it be cardstock or chipboard or lace?
"Or a Cricut," I said, with a smile on my face.
And that's when I heard him,  "Hi Santa!" I said.
"You know....good little girls should be in their beds."
"I know I should Santa, and now I've got caught.
But I was just so excited to see what you brought."
"Well, let's take a look in this room where you work."
He shook his head quickly, and left with a jerk.
I heard him exclaim as he put it in gear...
"You've got enough crap, I'll see you next year!"

LOL  Is that not hilarious!  And how many of us can relate?

Lastly, I have a card to share with you today.  My husband asked me for a card that he could take to work for everyone to sign for the boss' Christmas gift, so I designed this more-masculine card and also entered it in the Moxie Fab World contest for this week.  It didn't turn out quite the way I envisioned... I am severely lacking in mojo the last few days!

 

This is actually a layout that I have fallen back on several times, and really like.  I enjoy doing the varied stitching around the edges, too!

I hope you have a great day, and thank you for stopping by again!

Oh, I really like the simplicity of it...and yet it has enough detail to not be called easy. I love the traditional colors that are very understated, too!

The great varied stitching on this card is just eye candy at it's best! What a great look! I only WISH my sewing machine would work like this on cardstock! I love the deer image too - what a fabulous card!

Congrats to Char--I see she responded! I love this image...I now have Vince Gill and his little girl singing "Let there be peace on earth" in my head! And we all love that Wassail paper!

Hee,hee...love the poem...and oh how I can relate..it's a terribly addictive habit. Not sure what the antidote is.

I think your mojo is alive and well. That is one beautiful card. I'm sure you're husband's buttons are bursting off with pride. Merry Christmas, Tammy...off to mail my calendars.

Tammy...your MOJO is fine. This is a beautiful card. Not too girly, not to busy...a bit like "baby bear"...just right!

[Troy Louise]

I've seen this stamp at Hobby Lobby, but kind of shyed away from it not sure what I would do with it. But seeing your card, puts that stamp back on my list! Great card! Best, Curt
