Here is a card I made with my new stamp that I won

Is this turtle not the cutest ever?!??! I used Copic markers to color this little guy and I just think he is soooo cute. I printed out the sentiment on my computer. I may give this card to my dad for his birthday. He likes turtles :).

I won, I won ....

I won some blog candy at Stamping with Denise's blog and you can see her blog here. This cute turtle stamp came today and I can't wait to make a cute card. I will do that hopefully tonight or tomorrow. Whimsy Stamps is a brand new stamp company and so far I am loving all her new images.

I'm waiting on my blog banner wish fairy to make me a new banner ...

So please be patient and hopefully "she" will be off work long enough to add it. LOL Wink, wink Angie!! I did change my Christmas music up a bit and changed the background but have no idea how to change the blog banner up top.

We got the 2nd Christmas tree up today

and it was the perfect day to stay inside. It was a rainy cold 40 degree day so we got the tree up and all the decorations up inside. All that is left to do is to put our 2 big wreaths outside and we will do that one day this week (when it warms up). Charlie is also trying to decide whether or not to put up our lit up palm trees. Last year we never got around to getting them up and the neighbors said they missed seeing them when they would drive by. LOL

Can you guess which is my favorite ornament? Hint - its orange and yellow. Ha ha

Don't the dogs look thrilled?

LOL

Ladybug is the black & white springer, Tudi is the brown and white springer. Don't they look cute????

Got one of our Christmas trees up today

We put up 2 Christmas trees. One is 9 feet tall and it goes in the livingroom. We have really high ceilings so it looks great in there. The one we put up today is 6 feet tall and I picked it up on sale at Target 5 years ago - it was regular priced at $99 and I got it for $4.50. I think that's the best bargain I have ever gotten, anywhere!!! Its my snowman tree. All the ornaments on it are snowmen. I have snowmen lights too that I found at Cracker Barrel. I love this tree, its my favorite one of all I think. We've been putting it in the basement but since we really don't use the basement that much, I decided we would put it in the kitchen by the table so we can look at it all the time. I do spend alot of time in the kitchen!! Why is that? LOL So here is one tree. I hope we get the 2nd tree up tomorrow.

So ... who braved the Black Friday crowds today?

Not me. I stayed home and cleaned up from yesterday. I stayed up late last night making 4 more "somethings". I can't say what because certain people read this blog and they will figure out one is for them. LOL So I need to finish up my little somethings today. The glitter is drying now, that's all I am going to say!! I really want to show you all what I have been making but I just can't ... not yet!

Emily went to the mall this morning with her friend Ashley. They had full intentions of being there at 5 am when they opened but they didn't wake up in time so they went at 10. The last I heard from her it was 1:00 and she hadn't bought a single thing. WHAT? She hasn't bought anything? So I am anxious to see what she finds by the time she gets home.... Ok, back to my stamping my little "somethings". lol
