December ATC Swap

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday weekend! My clan had a wonderful time with family. It is always a special time of year for us...everyone really seems to shine. But, it ended, and alas, the mail came today after its little hiatus, and a small package came for me. My "All White ATC's" from the All Things Tim Yahoo Group monthly swap had arrived. I tore into them as fast as I could, this my last Christmas present. I love them all! I was especially excited to see one that is similar to my own...great minds!

This cutey is from Susan Salyer...who ironically lives pretty close to me, and we've never met...small world! Love this happy Santee!!! Fabulous pattern that sparkles too...beautiful!

This pure white beauty is from Jocelyn Cazier. These sparkly white gears really had me turning! Have you ever noticed that pearls add instant old school class? I'm in love!

And...here is  Donna Jean Eno's beautiful winter white scene! Isn't it funny that we used the same dies, and had polka dot backgrounds? I love it! Her deer is really raised up from the card which really makes it pop. It is so striking!

And...here is mine again.

Thanks again to all the participants and especially to Sandy who does all the work! I look forward to next months theme. If you have not joined in on the fun and you are in the group, why not give it a try? It will be a new year, a new beginning, and a time to try new things! I hope you get your hands creatively dirty soon!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Twas The Night Before A Crafter's Christmas!!!

Twas the night before Christmas, I'm glued to the tree.
I'm wonderin' what Santa, brought just for me;

Could it be cardstock or chipboard or lace?
or a cricut? I said with a smile on my face!

and that's when I heard him...''HI SANTA,'' I said.
''you know good little girls should be in their beds''.

I know I should Santa, and now I've been caught!
but I was excited, to see what you brought.

well, lets take a look in this room where you work.
he shook his head quickly and left with a jerk!

I heard him exclaim as he put it in gear...
you've got enough stuff, I'll see you next year!

(Borrowed this poem from my friend Jody Myslinski. Thanks girl!!!) 

I am so grateful to all of you who have supported this blog and me!  I wish each and every one of you the most beautiful and joy filled Christmas, Hanukkah, holiday, and/or weekend! Hugs to all, Anita
