I'm so glad I got my Thanksgiving cards and Christmas cards mostly done when I did. My thumbs are hurting pretty bad and I am limited to how much time I can spend stamping. My surgery is scheduled for January 10th. That seems like a long time away!!

Meet Stevie the Walrus. Purple Onion Designs came out with some really cute stamps last week and he is just one of them. Isn't he the cutest? I am sending this to an online friend who turns 89 soon and she lives in England. We have never met in person but she was a stamper "way back in the day" she tells me and her and I "met" playing the game Ruzzle on our cell phones. LOL (It's a word game) Now we are Facebook friends and we have even talked to each other a few times over Facetime during the pandemic and I really enjoyed that.
Purple Onion Designs is based out of NY and I was impressed I got their stamps all the way in NC in just 2 days!! Talk about great customer service!! Check them out.

Kristina Werner's Day of Online Holiday Card Workshop 2021 class started this week. It was a lot of fun and we made 2 cards on Monday. There was another card to make but I threw out my back so I have been nursing it with a heating pad most of the week. Her class runs for 12 days and you can see all about it here. I used Distress Oxide inks for the background with splatters of white acrylic paint for the snow. Die cut by Sizzix. I chose not to add a sentiment for fear I would mess it up. It took me SEVERAL tries to get this one just right!

Sending this to a friend who moved into a new condo. I bought this Stampin Up set used on ebay recently and I just love it! I popped up the letters "HOME".
Sadly, we had ZERO trick or treaters last night. Until next year ...
