Christmas 2013

                                                        

                                                            Christmas 2013

I hope you had as much fun as we did.  I meant to take more pictures but one gets caught up in the moment and forgets - at least this 'one' does :-)

But, here are some favorite moments from our magical day - I enjoy sharing with you .



ummm... I thought we were cutting back this year?  Oh well, there were lots of us :-)



Of course, Bailey was right there too!


One of Aly's gifts - made the bag at my buddy Gail's house.


Our table - almost set


A beaded drape handmade by a friend.  So beautiful




Lynda and Mike happy with their deco. It's been a Duck Dynasty kind of year.



A camo snowman.  Notice Mike's shirt?  Yep, Uncle Si.



Fun with our cameras




A sweater for Aly



Kyle lookin' SHARP!


Grandpa's new books - to go along with the brandy-infused egg nog on the sideboard





Aly's lookin pretty SHARP too!


What another duck?  Mom's been busy painting ducks.




Texting some pics

and now it's time to start putting things away.  My intention is to make up a box of loved but rarely used Christmas decorations for Lynda.  Organize is the my buzzword for 2014.


Hey!  I was going to pack up that container... oh well, we'll do it later.

Hoping your Christmas was happy, happy, happy !

Sneak Peek Occasions 2014




                                         A sneak PEEK

This gorgeous card is from the new Occasions catalog.  I think it would make a nice Valentine with the addition of a few punched hearts here and there. And, maybe, a sentiment too?  BTW, if you are one of my customers, I now have the catalogs and if you'll give me a call we can arrange for me to get it to you - I have the Sale-a-Bration booklets too!!!  If you'd like to be one of my customers, please email me stampinwithmyfurbabies@gmail.com.

Anyway, here is a sample of some of the designer series paper and a stamp set from the catalog - Love it!!!



The paper is from the Fresh Prints Stack - isn't it yummy?  
The gorgeous poppy is from the new Happy Watercolor stamp set.
Basic Black, Whisper white and Real red cardstock was also used.
It was colored with real red and pumpkin markers. 

More sneak peeks coming soon.  Ordering from the catalog begins Jan. 3.  

Have a wonderful weekend!
