The
STAMPING GROUND hosted by Julia Dunnit comes around quicker than my Friday night evening out. If you are not familiar with WOYWW stop over she has it all explained and the Peepers are about half signed in as we have time differences around this world.
The little felt designs I got a few yrs back for a dime. I think they are the remains of a Christmas countdown. So trying to come up with an idea for their use. The holly stamp and stencil I hope to finish a few more tags. On Sunday this area was complete kaos, got a phone call from my son they plan to be here THIS Saturday...a week earlier than expected. I was so excited...as I have not yet seen their new baby "Summer Rose". But I've been none stop cleaning, cooking, baking and organizing ever since. Cooked a 20lb turkey for Christmas Day, have him cut up and in the freezer, have some grocery shopping to do for last minute meals etc. And I can relax somewhat.! ! !
I have been working on this for a week. The little image looks so much like my granddaughter Camryn who is 6. I wanted it to be her Christmas card. But nothing seems to be easy with it coming together. I made 10 other tags and still stumbling with this. I've had gold paper doily heart layered in the background, numerous other things, tried it in an open antique frame, and time is fast disappearing and still not settled on its design. I am open to ideas.
Well, I must get ready for the day, have to help my folks with a few things and finish addressing some cards. I've done the Christmas Letter, & address labels so they are almost finished. My DH helps with signing and stuffing... He also wrapped ALL the gifts, and labeled them. One job I really don't enjoy, so I was very grateful.
We are so thankful, it is REALLY raining here. This is a much needed rain, almost none since August and with the warm 40 degree temps, it will not turn to snow and ice. Enjoy your visits, and have fun preparing for how you celebrate the Holidays.
PS: I was so excited to have been a day 3 winner in Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas. I took time to enjoy all his posts and I learned a lot.

I love your gorgeous card. Have a lovely time with that new babe and enjoy your Christmas festivities x Jo
Oh a new Baby for Christmas! wonderful, lots of cuddles to be given. I would go with a darker colour than red, make her "pop" out from the Background a bit more, maybe green and gold?
Bit late getting on this week due to various disasters, but belated happy WOYWW

At least all the hard work is done and so all you have to do is enjoy your family :) My DH helped with the wrapping too for which I was very grateful. Your felt decorations and tags are really lovely, I had a good close peek at those!
Hugs, LLJ #34 xx
What a great work space you have. Your card is pretty just the way it is! And congratulations on wining day 3 of the Tim Holtz tag fest.
I am getting snow where I'm at, which is much needed.

I'm excited for you Sylvia, and all the work and rushing around willbe so worthwhile when you can relax and soak up having your family home...specially the new baby, the sweetest name. I can't help with the felt pieces, I'm useless at re-puposing.
What a great workspace you have it's so inviting, your decorations are beautiful, thanks for sharing, Hugs May x x x x
Thank you for your comment on my blog, Sylvia. Hopefully we'll get through the next few days OK - a lot of travelling and my hubby's gone down with another bout of the throat bug... I love your card - very pretty! Happy WOYWW, Shoshi #58
Sounds like the holidays went from interesting to INTERESTING in short order. It is going to be a quiet holiday here and I am glad. Got a ham bought and most everything needed for dinner in the house. Have a great week and Happy Holidays! Thanks for sharing. Vickie #35
