This year was especially nice, as my hubby took the day off to spend with us. He's a dairy farmer, so for him to have a day off, he has to TAKE it off. No M-F/8-5 with weekends off job for him, lol! So, you seee....I am VERY thankful when he takes a day totally off. :)
THANK YOU HONEY!!
A "party" with my family the night before - mom STILL makes us each our own special meal - is she a gem, or WHAT? My family is so sweet & generous.
THANK YOU MOM/FAMILY!!
Phone calls, Cards, and FB messages...oh, I feel so LOVED! :)
THANK YOU EVERYONE!!
The Saturday before was breakfast out with a girlfriend - I so treasure that time!
THANK YOU, BECKS! :)
Today's card is made using the stamp set I received from said friend: "Aviary".
I also made it to participate in this week's Color Challenge at SCS...use only Black, Red, & White.
The picture quality is poor, sorry about that. It's a grey and dreary morning, and I'm too impatient to wait for better lighting, lol.
Well, what do you think (poor picture aside, lol)?
I'm sorry I haven't been on here much lately...life has just been so crazy busy! This was actually supposed to be yesterday's post...but things happen and now I sit here finishing it today. ;-)
I'm thinking one of my New Year's Resolutions will involve more frequent blog posting. ;-)
Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a GREAT day!!

A happy belated birthday. What a precious day full of memories with you wonderful husband. Love that card. Thanks blessing my day. :) I also want to wish you and your family a very Blessed Christmas and a wonderful 2011.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday. So glad you had a wonderful day! Love the card. There is something to be said for Black and white with a touch of red. Hope your Christmas is blessed and your new year a happy, healthy one!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday. You and I share the same day, but I have quite a few years on you I'll bet. I celebrated by picking up my sister at the airport. She flew in from North Carolina. We shared a late lunch. Really miss having her living nearby. Have a wonderful Christmas.
