MAKING CARDS

A bitter December storm is brewing outside right now (no snow though!) but I'm cozy inside sipping a hot chocolate with marshmallows from Starbuck's which was actually a Secret Santa gift.  I'm getting so pro. at shopping for Secret Santa's this year!  I'm participating in...three?  Pretty awesome!  Today's the first official day of Christmas break.  Ooooh.  Ahh!  Yummm.  I'm a happy girl.  :)  I spent several hours making our Christmas cards for the year in the past weeks and today i finished them!  It was so much fun.  The watercolor one is for my sponsor child in Thailand and the rest are being sent to our family (shout out to Cali, Texas?, Oregon, and New Hampshire!  I think that's it...).

How's your Christmas coming along?  I love Christmas, but I'm more of the "simple pleasures Christmas" kinda gal.  This was the first year in a long time that my family has gotten a real Christmas tree!  I pushed for it hard and it was so fun getting one.  His name is Napoleon.  (As in, my most favorite name everrr.)  He's a noble fir from the Home Depot.  Last week was also my high school's combined choir, orchestra, and band concert and then Friday+Saturday was the dance concert.  SO completely stressful but worth it in the end.  God is good.  I also went to the Messiah last week which was incredible.  That's always one of my favorite things to do during Christmas.  Here are my Christmas cards!  Which ones are your favorites?



 

 

My top favorite is the two snowmen in love.  :)  And of course the manger scene one.  I gotta go paint my nails or at least take of this horrendous chipping polish!  I can't stand it anymore.  Ciao!
