Cousins

We had a ton of company for Christmas this year. We were fortunate enough to have nearly everyone come and visit us. This Christmas saw all the cousins together on Christmas morning. It was wonderful!

I took some time off from blogging and my shop to give myself a break while we had all our company and I'm glad I did. I was able to visit and enjoy myself with my family without feeling like I should be doing something else.

While all the kids were here, Mimi and I took them to Falls Park and took pictures of all of them together.

Here is my youngest, Bohdan.

My oldest, Stasiu.


My boys with their cousin, Isaac.

Little Juliet. Isn't she just beautiful?


All of them together. What a picture!

Tis' The Season Treasury

Frosted Treats curated this holiday inspired treasury. These are all holiday items that cost less than $10. Good idea for a treasury! My Postcard From Santa card is on the lower right.

Enjoy!

Just Hear Those Sleigh Bells Jingling...

It's Heeeerrreeee! Ok, so it doesn't exactly sound like the creepy girl from Poltergeist but you get the idea.

Christmas is just around the corner. A mere eight weeks away. I've started loading up my Christmas cards on etsy. I'm also going to have gift tags.

Enjoy!

Christmas Cards

Don't hit the back button. I'm not listing Christmas cards. Yet. Well, not today at least. These are for my son's school. This Friday they are having a Fall Carnival with raffles from each class. His class theme is Wrapping Up Christmas and needed wrap (duh), tape, cards, tags and such.

These will be listed in the shop in a few days.

I Believe Christmas Card

I believe in Christmas. I believe in family, kids, the smells of trees, baking cookies, being together, making dinner, watching The Polar Express 65 million times with a 4 year old, wrapping presents at 12am, and everything else that comes with it. I like this card because it expresses all of that. I keep it blank inside so I can write long notes to those I like to do that with but stamp sentiments to those who I know just want pictures of the kids.

In my etsy shop I am doing something a bit different for Christmas. I am offering sentiment options. Buyers can opt to have all or some of their cards stamped on the inside with a Christmas sentiment either in black or a matching color. I think that will make it easier for a lot of the Christmas card buyers out there looking for choices. Below is a list of what I'm offering right now.

Off to make, glitter, emboss and stamp more cards!

Christmas Card-Finally!

I have been so busy, with , well, life that I haven't even started on my Christmas cards. And as an estian, that is bad, bad, bad. 30 lashes for me. So, here is my first. I stamped out a gazillion of these snowmen, colored them with my copics and cut them out. I officially hate snowmen. Ok, I'll like them next week when I'm on to something else. But, today I hate snowmen.

The inside sentiment is very cute for this card. It says "All my best friends are flakes." I bought this set because it made my mom laugh and that was enough reason for me. If you hop on over to my shop, you can see the inside of the card.

I'll be posting more Christmas cards soon.
