Easy Squeezy & HM Challenge Snow

Yes, I decided since I'm running behind on my Christmas card making that I ought to do ones that go together quickly. I found MME paper at Michael's and matching Bazzill CS and just started making Christmas cards. If I do them this way I can get three cards from a 12x12 sheet of CS. Today when I was getting some done I decided I could make one for the HM Monday Challenge blog which this week is to include snow. So here is my card for the HM Challenge. Sorry about the blurriness.
Here are some of the ones I made the other night.


I put up the Christmas tree today. I haven't decorated it yet but here is our skinny tree. We live in a small place so it works out great that it is a smaller tree. My mom made the tree skirt so I had to take another photo to show you.
And last but not least here is the cake I picked up from Kroger's Sunday night for Tim's Birthday. It's an ice cream cake YUM YUM. Yeah I know I should've baked but things have been a little hectic and off kilter around here.
Still dealing with the crud. I'm better but coughing a lot and still using lots of kleenex.

Oh and the Santa Shoppe Craft sale went pretty well. I did sell a few things, nothing major, but it was for kids and it makes me happy to watch kids buy for others.

Noah decided to go to his Dad's for Christmas. He was going to stay here, but guess he wants to see his Dad and new step niece or nephew. His Dad calls last night to say his computer crashed and he wants me to order his mega bus tickets and he'll send us 1/2 in a check. I was a bit taken aback and said you do realize I do not have a job and money is hard to come by? So he was like if our computer didn't crash I wouldn't ask. So today I ordered them and called him to tell him his 1/2 of the amount. I asked when I'd see the check and he was like oh this week. Well he better!! I was talking to a friend and she said I should've given him the 800# shoot I wish I would've talked to her or remembered myself before ordering!! Well I will send him a reminder in the mail tomorrow!

Hope you are having a great week. I can't believe its only about 2 weeks until Christmas! YIKES.

Tomorrow & BBC 26

Tomorrow is the first day of school for Noah, he now is a freshman in high school!!! Of course tomorrow is only 1/2 a day and only freshmen are on campus tomorrow. So he calls me tonight while hanging with his friends, will you take us to Parmalee? I say when? He says tomorrow after school. I said I guess I can get up if you have to get up. Just have to get up a bit earlier to drive Tim to work so I can have the car to pick up the guys from school and take them to the skateboard park in lower MI.

I'm considering doing a craft show or two depending upon how well I do. There is an orchard in lower MI that will be having craft fairs starting in two weeks, for eight weeks in a row. It's pretty inexpensive too. I just worry about having enough stuff.


3 of my favorite quotes - BBC #26

Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can read. Mark Twain

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Eleanor Roosevelt


I couldn't find my favorite Martin Luther quote so I will put my favorite Albert Einstein quote:

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."




Here is my most recent card:
