Christmas Delight

Happy Monday!!  It's a little gloomy here today, and that always makes me think of Karen Carpenter singing "Rainy Days & Mondays".  But it is actually a very HAPPY Monday for me today.  I'm having lunch with my old boss - "old" as in "a long, long time ago"!!  Actually, Jeff was my boss 23 years ago!  We've kept in touch for all of these years :) and today we're meeting for lunch.  I'm anxious to see him again!!

In the meantime, I've been working on Christmas cards!!  I love this new SU! set called "Merry & Type" - and also love Wisteria Wonder cs!!  I'm playing with these 3 colors - Real Red, Lucky Limeade, and Wisteria Wonder.... and this new set.  I'm not exactly sure this is the final & best layout - but I'm lovin' it so far!!

So here's to a HAPPY MONDAY for you!!  I hope you have a great week - and I promise to be back later to share my a new book I'm reading - and hopefully, another Christmas card:)

Ciao!!

Aunt-titude

If this is not "attitude", then I don't know what is!!  Especially my Aunt Charlotte, on the right!!

Since I've mentioned my aunts before, I wanted to share this picture that was recently taken at one of my (33) first cousins' weddings.  These are 3 of my aunts that have influenced me all my life.  ....or in other words....MY attitude is all their fault!!  haha!!

Aunt June, Aunt Evelyn & Aunt Charlotte - 3 Southern Belles!!  I would be lost without them!!

Sewing Suitely

My, oh my, how the last month flew by!!  And now we find ourselves just a few weeks away from Christmas.  How did that happen??!!

I have been my mom's Designated Driver for the past 2 weeks.  She fell & dislocated her shoulder two weeks ago - and we found out Friday that she has a massive tear in that rotator cuff & will have to have surgery in about 10 days.  Not a happy camper there!!  I keep reminding her that she's lucky she didn't break a hip!!  I also keep reminding her that she's 83 years old & this is her FIRST SURGERY -- EVER!!  I wish I could say that!!

Anyway, in between Dr/Hospital runs, I did manage to make gifts for my IN COLOR CLUB girls, AND - even more impressively - I actually got those kits in the mail last week!!  woo hoo!!  This months' featured color is Island Indigo.  Yummy!  Sort of a "Not Quite Navy" color....but NOT!  LOL!  I wanted to think outside the box this month - and came up with....a box!!  I love how easily this box comes together AND by using a Belly Band around the middle - there is absolutely NO ADHESIVE necessary to hold it together.  What could be better?!!

I hope you have a happy week - starting with a Happy Monday!!  I'll try not to let so much time go by before posting again.  Thanks for visiting!!
