Santa brought me this awesome mini sewing machine

so I can sew on my cards. Its a Janome Sew Mini machine and it is super easy to use!!! I made these 3 cards today. (the stitching isn't perfect but I have to play with it some more. I am pretty happy with what I did so far.)

Happy New Years Eve "eve"

Can you believe 2008 is just about here? 2007 sure went fast!! Charlie left early this morning to drive his mother back to Virginia so I have been stamping a few cards while the rain is just coming down. We DESPARATELY need rain so let it rain, let it rain, let it rain :). I hope we get 6" at least. lol Here are the cards I've made today.

Did everyone have a wonderful Christmas?

Well its over ... Christmas is over .. until next year :). We are actually having our big Christmas gathering today. Everyone is expected around noon for lunch then we will have a turkey, ham and all the trimmings for dinner. Expecting about 15. I have everyone done and ready to go. The turkey is in the oven now :).

Had a nice day yesterday. I got a new digital Canon camera .WOW, is that thing speedy!! Also got the bigger lens to go with it to take really close up shots. I will try it out today. Also got a mini sewing machine to sew on my cards. I have been wanting to try that but hate the thought of dragging out my BIG sewing machine just to sew on paper. This new machine weighs just 5 lbs and is so cute! lol Emily is having lots of fun with her Apple laptop computer and Nicholas loves his Ipod itouch. Santa was good at the Thacker's this year. Ok I must go and make sure everything is ready :).

P.S. The new TAC catalog is awesome. Alot of really neat sets and I think I have about 7 on my wish list. I actually got the new TAC catalog, the new Stampin Up catalog and the new CTMH catalog all within 2 days of each other. WOW!! lol

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

I want to wish all of my family & friends a very Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas Eve!!

Today is the day. Santa Claus comes tonight to millions of homes all over the world. Are the kiddos ready!? I am also waiting for my new TAC catalog to come. Our complimentary issues were mailed last Thursday so there is a chance it may come today. I am anxious to see what new stamps we have in it. If anyone needs one, I am expecting a box of 10 to come next week so just shoot me an email or pm and I will be happy to mail you one. They are $7.00 and that includes priority shipping :).

Introducing .... Maggie from Sugar Nellie

I found these cute cards here at this website. I went to their website and placed an order. I ordered 3 stamps and got them in 10 days. Not bad for all the way from Scotland!!! They come unmounted so I added my own EZMount to them. I also had a hard time figuring out how much US dollars they cost so I emailed them and they got right back to me, paid by paypal and now I can play with my new stamps. I made this card today while everyone else is frantically doing their last minute Christmas shopping. lol

Isn't she just the cutest thing?!??!?!?
