This & That

I know you've all been checking back every day since my last blog because you couldn't wait to see what I did in November & December. Oh, you haven't been checking back every day? Not even once? Well, thanks, I guess a girl can dream...that there's anyone out there...that someone besides my sister reads this thing...

Wait, what were we talking about?

Oh right - how busy those elves were designing holiday cards. Well, without further ado, here are a few of my favorites. To check out the rest, check out my portfolio.

Twenty Ten!

Ok, who remembers back in 1999 when we were all super worried that at 12:01 none of our technology was going to work? That we were going to be in a state of confusion and our computer screens would look like the opening scenes of the matrix? Me tooooooo.

But, now it's 2010. TWENTY FRIGGIN TEN? Are you kidding me? Where are the flying cars? The cities in space? I want my money back!

Well, I'm sure you've been wondering what I've been doing the whole month (I just spelled that munch!) of December? Hello? Anyone? Tap tap.... and... crickets chirping.

Ok, so I'm sure the only person reading this is my sister, who knows what I was doing the whole month of december, but blogosphere, I'm going to tell you anyway.

I was designing, and printing, and delivering, and designing, and printing, and delivering, and sewing, and sewing, and glueing, and making messes, and packing, and flying.

And, then I was spoiling the sweetest little P of a niece. And, relishing family time, and getting fat off momma's cooking. (seriously, who can eat waffles, and scones, and biscuits and gravy, and more scones for breakfast everyday??)

Phew - December was busy, and I'm super sorry I left you all salivating for a new blog. (I hope I've delivered.)  But, I was takin' a break.

But, I'm back now - and, next week I'll show you all the lovelies I designed, and maybe even show you some of the things I sewed and sewed. Please come back, won't you? I promise I'll never write the word and this much ever again.

Now, aren't we glad that in 2000 our computers decided to continue humming along? I know I am!

Kisses and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Dreaming of a White Christmas

Right now, I'm listening to my Holiday Music, and watching the rest of the country be covered in a blanket of white. It's Antartica cold here (maybe not, but still less than 20 degrees), but we have yet to see any of the white stuff. Oh well. A girl can dream.

So, are you dreaming of a white Christmas? Do you have some white on the ground there & think a picture of the family frolicking in it would be THE best card to send out? Well, send me that picture, and let's get it on a card!

Remember, the deadline to order Holiday cards is December 18th.  If you want New Year's cards, you have more time.

And, did you know that all my cards are double-sided? So, whatever size you choose, you can do one pic, or 20, and you can give everyone a glimpse of life at your house with a 'mini' Holiday letter. Or, if you've just had a baby or are recently engaged, do double duty by giving them all the deets on the card.

Need inspiration? Voila...

The Happiest Season of All

So, how many of you ate your way through last week like I did? Anyone... Anyone? We went back to New Mexico, so of course had to eat all the things you can't get in the Pacific Northwest. Like delicious burritos, green chile, brisket, good Mexican food, and the list goes on.

But, I digress - that's not the reason for this post.

The reason for this post is that it's DECEMBER 1ST!! Did you hear me? Christmas is in, oh, 24 days. YIKES! I haven't even started shopping, much less thinking about wrapping presents so I can get them in the mail in time for the big day.  I see a lot of sleepless nights coming my way. At least I remembered to turn on the Christmas music playlist!

Well, if you haven't ordered your Holiday cards yet, not sure what you're waiting for! Deadline to order for Christmas is December 18th, so let me know what I can do for you soon.


Here's a little taste of what's chugging out of the workshop. Good stuff, people. Good stuff!
