Christ is Born! Hallelujah!

Hello! Hope your week is winding up swimmingly! I have had a pretty good week even though it is a pretty harsh climate in my end of corporate America. I AM ready for the weekend though!

This card is a leftover from last year - sorry, but I am still not caught up from being away for 2 weeks helping out with the birth of my third little granddaughter.

All stamps are SU! Very simple card which can be put on the assembly line to make your entire Christmas list.

I always love this time of year. I have a birthday AND Christmas and for my birthday I love having dear friends over for a cookie/ornament exchange. They are like my best birthday present EVER! I put on a pot of Christmas Tree soup and we all bring a few dozen cookies to eat and share. After dinner, we do an ornament exchange. We draw numbers and #1 gets to pick the first wrapped ornament. Then #2 can pick a new wrapped ornament OR take the one #1 opened......and so on. The ornaments are always beautiful!

Last year for some reason, I could not get my act together and everyone seemed so busy and just piling on one more occasion seemed unkind. So I waited until after Christmas and we had a calendar exchange! Great fun! I just pretended it was my birthday again and celebrated having such good friends and co-workers. This year yet again, I have a little too much on my plate; but I got all the materials to MAKE them all handstamped calendars. We will see if I can make good on my intent since we are headed back to Texas the day after Christmas. I have some business travel to deal with, an external audit which I am NOT ready for, so I am trying to pedal as fast as I can.

Have a great Friday! Blessings on you!
