Christmas 2017

Merry Christmas, everyone! We had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner at my mom's last night. Lots of great food: lechon (Filipino ham), pansit (Filipino noodles), skewered pork bbq, salmon, crab and lobsters, macaroni and cheese, chocolate cake, cheesecake and bibingka (Filipino rice cake) for desserts and seven (7) bottles of wine. It was a very good night. While the grown-ups were still chatting after dinner, the kids got impatient and started divvying up all the presents, so we all sat-down in the living room and went around to open one present at a time starting with the youngest member of the family. My mom got the most loot, even more than the kids. She kept saying, "You guys shouldn't have." Although, we all know she was totally loving all the attention and gifts. Lots of toys for the kids and my children lots of cash - one size fits all and at their age, it's really the safest gift. After all that, we sat back in the dining table drinking coffee with desserts and played a game called Headbandz. Everyone joined, even my own husband. It was a lot of fun especially watching family members trying to guess the answer while intoxicated. Haha! I love this time of the year and I am so thankful for my crazy but wonderful family. 

Well, as promised I am sharing another Christmas card I created this year to send out. My daughter is in the Marching Band and Drumline, so as soon as I saw this bundle, I knew I had to get it. It's called Musical Season stamp set and Musical Instruments Framelits Dies. It coordinates beautifully with the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper and Foil Snowflakes.

I stamped the musical instruments with Versamark Pad and Black Embossing Powder, then heat embossed before I cut out with the framelits in my Big Shot machine.

Christmas Eve 2017

Well, hello there! It's been awhile, I know. I can't believe it's Christmas Eve. It really sneaked up on me. I would like to share a couple of cards I sent out this year. I just love clean and simple cards, don't you? I was so busy the last three weeks at work and then after all the running around when everything was over, my body just crashed and I ache all over. I've been sick for a few days now and it's so hard to feel festive when you feel like crap, you know. All I want to do is stay in my pajamas and crawl in my warm bed. Oh well, my son is home and it's so wonderful to have both my kids at screaming distance. Heheh.
