I’m back…did you miss me? I never intended to take a week off from blogging, but sometimes life just gets in the way of doing what we plan on doing. So, what have I been up to you’re wondering? Well first of all on December 7th my dad ( he’ll be 82 in February) had open heart surgery to have a new aortic valve put in. Great news…the surgery went very well and I was able to spend much of the time he was in the hospital with Mom and Dad as well as my 2 brothers and my sister. On the 11th I was able to take Dad back home where he is recovering nicely at home with Mom taking very good care of him.
Since Dad got back home, I’ve been busy getting ready for Christmas. I mailed out nearly 150 Christmas cards this year and I’ve been getting many lovely cards in the mail. I’ve also been very busy planning all the projects for my Stamp Crop & Cruise Retreat I’m hosting January 26- February 2, 2019 aboard the Rhapsody of the Seas. I’ve got a good start but times a ticking and I’ve got lots more to get done. Because I’m concentrating on creating projects for the cruise, I decided from now until Christmas, I’ll be sharing some of the pretty Christmas cards I’ve been getting in the mail. I hope you enjoy.
I got this pretty card in the mail from my friend and team member Amanda Waldhart. She used the Hung With Care Hostess stamp set found in the Holiday Catalog and paired it with the Dashing Along Designer Series Paper for a traditional Christmas vibe with a Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green color combination.
