It's a month after Christmas...
And I'm finally getting around to posting some of the cards that I received...
I like Marie's blog name
Kathi and Cherie decided to make the same card this year. If you look closely at the two cards you will see that they each did their cards slightly different. Kathi's blog can be found here...
I almost didn't post both cards...but they are both such special friends I could not post just one of their cards.
I noticed that it's been a while since Kathi has updated her blog. Trust me, she has made many beautiful card and crafting projects in the last year.
I have been trying to get my friend Carol to craft with me for many years. So I was pleasantly pleased to see her first HOME MADE Christmas card in my mail. She has since agreed to come crafting with me. But with family commitments and the nasty weather right now, it may have to wait but I know she will keep her promise when she can. I can't wait...she is such an enjoyable person that it is sure to be a fun time.
Carol does not have a blog or a computer. (I sure wish she did...smile)
Because of the storm that is supposed to be coming our way...
Hubby went to the store today to get some groceries and fill up the car, etc. To prepare for the snow storm...
this is what he brought back from the store for me.
I confess, I am a Chocoholic! and he just fueled my addiction...LOL.
and yes, while I am doing this post....I am munching on the candy bar.
(To give me energy to post of course!)
Strength is the capacity to break a Hershey bar
into four pieces with your bare hands--
and then eat just one of the pieces.

I'm not very strong...I had to eat more than one piece!!!!
Thank you for visiting my blog today.
Blessings,

I have more beautiful cards that I received to post next time.
TFS your beautiful cards here. Love the shaping on the 2 similar cards. That looks quite complex and each one turned out so fabulously. You are lucky to have such talented & skilled friends. Ditto on the sweetie who brought you chocolates to get through the storm. Hope it's not too awful & that ya'll are housebound for a while. Stay warm, safe, and TFS. Hugs to both of you. (glad if the joke gave you a smile. I was hesitant that it might offend, but I laughed. Typical innocent kid who just repeated something he'd overheard, and then thought he heard again!)
ReplyDeleteHey gal. Loved your Cards from friends. Re: chocolate I remember when Lays potato chips came out with the..... bet you can't eat just one.....that's what came to mind when you talked about the Hershey bar.....believe me I can't eat just one. From one Chocoholic To another chocoholic there's no such thing as 1 piece of Chocolate unless it's one very very large piece. Lol. Hugs
ReplyDeleteYour received cards are all amazing!! The lanterns look amazing!! Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteThese are all just gorgeous makes from your friends and how fun and happy it would be to receive such beautiful mail!! I do love chocolate myself...I usually have it on hand!! Bad me!! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat cards from wonderful friends! Love these! The two that are alike are so similar and yet so beautiful in their own way.
