It's Christmas Time!

I am SO excited that I can hardly stand it. In just a little over 24 hours my kids will be on an airplane headed from Missouri to Georgia! Today will surely fly by. I have a habit of leaving lots to do the day before something big like this. That way the time goes by SO much faster. So I have a ton to do today including wrapping and baking and cleaning. I will stay very busy.
But first I thought I'd share. I went to lunch with my sweet dear friend Shelley yesterday. She brought me a Christmas present that I have to show you!

Isn't it cute? But, do you know what it is? I thought about turning this into a guessing game, but I just don't have the time. So I will tell you. This cute little high heel which measures only 5 1/4" x 2" is a functional HAMMER! Yep, this is my new eyelet setter. Isn't it cool? I LOVE IT! At my last job, some of the ladies actually used their shoes to pound in nails to hang things when there was no hammer around. I love my little shoe hammer. Thank you, Shelley!
I've also been blessed to have gotten many pretty Christmas cards in the mail. I LOVE cards so I love this time of year when nearly every day a card arrives in my mail box. I love them all! From postcards to store bought in a box or individually, handmade, stamped or photo cards, I just love cards. I have to admit, photo cards are a favorite. After Christmas, I usually cut out the photo and put it on my frig.
Of course, handmade cards are quite special to me as I know the love and thought that went in to them. So far this year, I've gotten a few handmade cards. Should I share? Well, yeah....

This first one is from my friend Tracy in New York. (Wow.... Trace, I've never had a friend in New York before. That sounds funny.) Tracy used a classic- Frosty. May he live forever.

This next one is a beauty from my Kansas friend, Kristina. She does very VERY good, huh? This is my favorite SU color too... Soft Sky!

I was so surprised AND excited to receive this GORGEOUS card from Monika. My hubby loves this card. So do I! I keep studying that bottom white edge that looks so much like a snow drift. How did she do that?

Raissa sent me this very pretty blue creation along with my prize from her card contest. I just love it!

I'm off to start my chores. I hope you all have a great day that's full of the CHRISTmas spirit!
