Warm Wishes

Day of the Month Card Challenge - National Sock Day

Stamps by Concord & 9th

We had our 5th craft fair today. Had to dress in layers as it was 19 degrees F when we started but it did warm up to about 50 degrees F by 2:00. It was only a 4 hour show and they didn't charge us any booth fee so we made about $90. We were thrilled with that!! One more craft fair to go and that's next week and then we will be done until Spring.

2025 Calendar

These are my 4x6 calendars I make every year for 3 friends. I have been doing this for at least 15 years and I have changed my calendars over the years but they seem to like these the best because they each have a 4x6 picture frame that clips at the top and they can just change it each month. It takes me awhile to make them so I do 2 months at a time. Some are watercolored, some are using Copics.

Ho Ho Ho in Blue

We got snow!!!  We haven't had snow in 1,036 days according to the weather man so when I woke up and saw all this white stuff on the ground, I couldn't believe my eyes. Of course, it was just a dusting and I have never had a white Christmas. EVER!!  So if it would just do this on Christmas morning, that would be wonderful. We usually get snow in Jan and Feb if we get any at all.

I mailed my 5 international cards this morning. 2 in Scotland, 1 in England, 1 in Australia, and 1 in Canada. The one in Canada who knows how long she will get hers since they are on a postal strike but I mailed it anyway.

Here is my blue card for these challenges:

Merry Little Christmas - Anything Goes
