Mixed Bunch

Good morning. I have been under the weather for a while and it's good to be back and feeling better. I didn't realize it had been so long since I last posted.

My friend and Stampin' Up downline member, Bonnie, has been very ill and I would request that you all please keep her in your prayers. She is very depressed as well and needs God so badly. I know she is praying too and hopefully God will bring her through all this soon. It has been a three week battle so far. She finally got out of the hospital but is now at a rehab facility. Just pray she gets to come home soon.

This is another card we did in our April card class. Just three more to show you and then the May class ones.

Lace Ribbon Border Punch

Well Thanksgiving and Black Friday are over and all is well. I didn't go out for early shopping however, I did go shopping on Saturday at City Lights Christmas store and oh my goodness! That shop is almost as good as Bronners in Michigan. Not quite as large but what a variety of decorations. You could even have a Mermaid tree if you like that sort of decor. I was amazed and pleasantly pleased with my purchases from there. I just love Christmas!! It is my favorite holiday and I could stay decorated all year round if someone would let me.

I am getting ready for my open house this Saturday. I have invited my regular card class attenders to a special fun time just to thank them for their continued support. I have come to love each one of them in a special way and count them all as friends not just customers. Stampin' Up has a way of doing that for you. I am so happy to be a part of such a great company.

This is the 2nd card we did in November. I was playing with the punch one day and punched a piece of designer paper like what's pictured here and thought Wow! that would look awesome on a card. So here it is.
