Christmas card for my doctor.

I made the above card for my eye doctor who did my eye surgery last year.  I never sent him a thank you card, so when I send out my Christmas cards...this card will go along with my thank you letter.

 

The card was made using three dies.  Two dies were borrowed from friends.  Tree die is borrowed from Cherie, and she told me that she thinks it's a die from Cheery Lynn. The glasses are a die I borrowed from Kathi, it's from Taylored Expressions, The star die is from SweetNSassy stamps.  I also used an embossing folder from Stampin' Up, (Textured)  and my ribbon is from Stampin' Up.

 

The card fold is a center step fold, I found the instructions at Split Coast Stampers.

 

I am so sorry that I have not been around as much lately with posting or commenting.  I have been having computer problems.  My hubby is usually very good with correcting any problems that I have with my computer.  This time I have him totally stumped.  He has spent many hours on my computer running all kinds of programs (cleaner, malware check, virus check, etc. etc.)  Everything shows up as being okay.  He even spent lots of time on the phone with our ISP...but my problems still exist!  Sometimes I get into my blog, and sometimes not!  If this post publishes, obviously, it will be one of the times I can.  It's not just blogger that is giving me grief.  It's also google, and Firefox.  Anyone else reading this been having any of these difficulties with the programs mentioned above ?

 

So when I can't get into my programs I have been doing fall house cleaning.  Below is a pic of one of the things I have been gathering together to make their way out the door.

 

The above pic is just half of the books and magazines going out the door.  Can you tell at one time I was a magazine addict?  My pile has sewing, quilting, crochet, knitting, cross-stitch, embroidery, plastic canvas, craft, and paper crafting magazines ( and books) in the pile.

This is the third time that I did a clean out with my magazines.  It is so difficult to let these things go.  I had to get it through my head that I would have to live to at least age 150 to use every idea in these books that I have marked with a sticky note...smile.
