I cannot hardly believe Christmas is a week from today! We had a beautiful snow covering, but all the rain we got over the weekend pretty much took care of that... oh well! I don't know if it is just me or if other people are like this, but there are certain things that I think I need to have for it to be "Christmas." Do you know what I mean? For instance, the other day I was trying to get baking things done and I could feel this ornery feeling coming over me. My hubby asked me what was wrong and I just burst into tears... I was feeling so overwhelmed and I wanted to get this done and that done, but I was tired and quickly running out of time! Don't you know Christmas isn't Christmas without Snickerdoodles??? *Ü* My level-headed hubby so gently hugged me and said to me, "Christmas isn't about all those things... those things are good memories of Christmas-past. And that is ok." Um, reality check for me! I guess with feeling like so many things in my life are up in the air... I was just looking for the familiar. It did help me to refocus... I am thankful for my hubby that God gave me to ever so sweetly remind me of what is important!
Ok, enough of that... onto the 2 cards for today:
This card's layout I originally saw from Jennie Maier.
And this card was something I cased from Amanda Mertz... just made the colors my own!
More Christmas projects to get done... so I better run!
with a grateFUL HEART, carin
