Merry Christmas to All!



Hellooooooooooo Everyone!


I am sorry I have not posted, but have been so busy that I really have not had time.  And with all that, I still do not have ONE gift bought.  I am not a Christmas shopper.  I really don't like shopping as it is, but shopping during Christmas my 'procrastination gene' comes out.


Where did the year go? Suddenly it is December...again...and we realize that with giant strides we started in January and within a blink of an eye, 2011 is almost gone! 

A big "Thank You" to each and everyone of you, for any impact you had on my life this year. Especially for all the e-mails and comments I received.......without you, I'm sure that 2011 
would have been extremely boring. 

From my side I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas Season filled with Loving Wishes and Beautiful Thoughts. 


May 2012 mark the beginning of a Tidal Wave of Love,
 Happiness and Bright Futures.

And to those who need someone special, may you find that
 true love.

To those who need money, may your finances overflow


To those who need caring, may you find a good heart 


To those who need friends, I am still here for you


Thanks for being my friend!!

Merry Christmas and all the best in 2012













I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and share some of my decorations in my house.  I hope you enjoy the holidays and have a fabulous time with all your families and friends.

Live well, love a lot, laugh often, and be happy!

Sunny, Cool Thursday!

Greetings, All:

I am so ready to be finished with my decorations to share.  But will wait until the 12-Tags of Christmas is done.  I love T!m Holtz and his 12-Tags they are exciting and I learn new techniques each time.  I just wish I had time to just play and play.

Ok, today I will share yesterday's tag and today's tag.  Fell a little behind with work and then decorations.  But no fret here they are!

Tag #7
Link to the instructions: http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/2011/12/12-tags-of-christmastag-7.html

How cool are the Holly leaves, just love that accent.

Tag#8

Link to the instructions on Tag8: http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/2011/12/12-tags-of-christmastag-8.html

I love T!m's gears, this tag has so much technique that it has inspired me to do a layout with just about everything on it for Christmas.  Can't wait to get started.

So many things, so little time as I always say.

Ok, thanks again for stopping by.  I hope to see you again soon.

Enjoy the journey (no matter how busy you are), live well, laugh often, love a lot, and be happy :)

Holiday Tuesday 1st week

Good evening, Crafters.

I have been so trying to finish my decorating.  I am starting to get really tired.  I am almost there.  I have my Mardi Gras (Bollywood now a days they call it) tree to go.  Then I will be done!  Yay.  Pictures to come.

But today, I want to keep sharing T!m Holtz 12-Tags of Christmas.  Today is Tag #6
Here is the link with instructions:http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/2011/12/12-tags-of-christmastag-6.html

I simply love these, I am behind too because I haven't been able to do any.  Everything just came all at once.  How do people do it?  I need to learn to utilize my time better or get more organized, is that even possible.

Well, busy, busy.  I need to get back to whatever else I need to do tonight.  Thanks again for dropping by.

Enjoy the journey (no matter how busy you are), live well, laugh often, love a lot, and be happy :)  wooo-hooooo!

Holiday Monday, 1st Week

Ok, hello Everyone.

I have been really busy this weekend.  No time for computers!  I was decorating.  Took Friday off to decoration, very productive.  Saturday was suppose to be a decorating day, but it was my daughter's day to move to her own place and that was pretty much all we were able to do.  Sunday rained and I did work inside the home with more decorations.  Pictures to come.

But today I wanted to share three more of T!m's tags!  They are fabulous, his techniques are so cool.  I am going to have to sit down and make these once I have finished all my decorating.  I love that I will have ideas to incorporate on my Tag Swap!  Yay!

Ok, here is Tag #3 (Tim Holtz)
Here is the link to all his instructions: http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/2011/12/12-tags-of-christmastag-3.html

Here is fabulous Tag #4

Here is the link to all his instructions for Tag #4: http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/2011/12/12-tags-of-christmastag-4.html

Holiday Wednesday and Thursday

Greetings Crafty People,

I did not have time to blog on Wednesday so I thought I would combine Wed/Thurs.  LOL, yes, I'm cheating, but I am really trying to decorate my house and make it festive.  I have put four trees up, as soon as I have a few pictures I can share, for now I will share fabulous finds!

Check this cute idea out!

How cool is this! Way cool!  This can be incorporated into cards, decorations, you can give as gifts, endless ideas, I think throwing in a snowman or two, and other Holiday figures would be awesome too.  I got this from Alison, at Oopsey Daisy, check her out: http://www.oopseydaisyblog.com/2011/11/christmas-tree-wall-art.html

Well, thanks for dropping by, I know everyone is really busy during this time, but if I can share and inspire, I will.

Enjoy the journey, live well, laugh often, love a lot, and be happy :)
