I'm Alive

Hi Everyone!

I decided to take a little blogging break for the Thanksgiving holiday, so if I haven't been around you your blogs, I will be there in the next day or two.

My husband was on vacation last week, so we had a good time doing things we normally don't when he is working.  We went to see the new Harry Potter movie, went out to eat, bought a new iPod, struggled with getting our new lap top up and running, (that's a whole other story there, many choice words were uttered)went to the CAVS basketball game and saw a great game winning shot by Mo Williams, ate Thanksgiving dinner with my family at my cousins, had second Thanksgiving at my sister in laws on Friday, and I have been trying to get everything decorated for the holidays this weekend.  Oh, and I squeezed in some card making time too. Whew, I'm pooped all over again just typing it.

Some bits of business I want to mention....Wednesday is the big day of the DRS Designs Holiday Blog Slide.  What is a slide? Well, pretty much the same as a hop, but it's the holidays! So, we are sliding along instead of hopping like bunnies ;)

Remember, the more people that enter, the more stamps that will be given away, so mark your calenders.

I did have a post last week at the DRS Designs Blog, so I thought I would post the two cards from over there, here. 

They use basically the same two stamps, Single Fall Tree and Shine On Harvest Moon sentiment, but this one I also used Starry Background and Easy Grass Background.

Here I played up the "shine" bit of the sentiment and covered the image in stamping glitter.  This tree could easily be used for you Christmas cards as well.  How are you coming along with those?  If you need a few new stamps for this years cards, the new releases are in at DRS Designs!  I'll be showing them off real soon.

Oh, and today is the last day to enter the Spoonful of Sugar Challenge.  DRS Designs is the sponsor, and you could win a $10.00 voucher to the store!

Well, that's it for me for now.  Here's hoping you aren't overwhelmed by the holiday details yet.
