Hello Stampers!

A belated Merry Christmas and an early Happy New Year to you and your families.

I bet you thought I dropped off the planet?  Well, it's been a busy time this past month with all the holiday happenings, classes, cookie baking, shopping, stamping...and so much more! 

I am hoping to get back on track with posting and keeping you updated on upcoming Events and Activities and of course Stampin' Sales!

Here's a little sampling of some of the cookies from my 2012 Cookie Swap this year....if you missed it, be sure to let me know you'll want to attend next year...it was a blast and everyone loved it.  I always hold the cookie swap on the first Sunday of December....

 

 

Here's a picture of Travis checking out my Christmas tree....he thought it needed a little tweaking!  lol

 

 

 

Here's a card and a gift one of my friends (and newest recruit), Lisa K gave me as a Christmas gift.  The gingerbread holder has a Bath & Body Works hand sanitizer inside....so cute and thank you so much Lisa!  I love it!

 

 

It sure has been a busy holiday season.  I was the hostess for the 2012 Cookie Swap, my Customer Appreciation Christmas Party, Christmas Eve dinner for my family and also Christmas Day Dinner...phew!  I had a few days off but I'm back to work tomorrow...boo...but at least it's Friday!  My vacation days at my full time job have been exhausted...but not to fear...come January...there will be more!  Yeah!  and LEADERSHIP in sunny Orlando, Florida...so looking foward to it!

 

I finally got a chance to play with some of my new goodies from the new Spring Catalog that starts on January 3rd and runs through May 31, 2013.  It was so overwhelming in all the fun goodies I got that I sort of dipped my hands in a few things last evening....here's one of the cards I created from our new Sweet Threads Simply Sent...but I purchased the Bundle...where I saved 15% and also got the coordinating stamp set which I used on the card.  Isn't this the sweetest...the kit includes everything you need to create 8 cards...with envelopes...I loved creating these cards. 

 

    

 

I'm going to post shortly all the hand stamped holiday cards I received this year,  Thank you everyone for sending me them.  It was like Christmas morning everyday opening the mail box...I am so blessed to have so my friends. 

 

Keep checking the blog...and Facebook for more pics coming soon.

 

Enjoy your day.....Susan
