Things are already changing for me - Abby will be out of school next week (YIKES) and starts T-ball tomorrow. Just when I get the hang of a schedule it totally changes!! PLUS Abby has been sick so I took her to the doctor this morning and she has bronchitis - no school until the fever goes away!! Speaking of Abby - Mother's Day was wonderful! Even though she was feeling yucky, she said the sweetest things and even made me cupcakes. I can only hope that she didn't lick the spoon or cough in the batter as I'm not really wanting to get sick after all I've been through! I hoping that my Mommy defenses are up and in play, protecting me from all evil germs!! (I know wishful thinking!!)
With it being Monday, I have a Christmas Card to share but I have to tell you it was hard creating a card! I don't know what happened but it seems as though my creative juices are still recovering, LOL! Although the card is nice - it just seems to be missing something. Problem is I have NO IDEA what that could be!! Oh well - it will get better, right?
This week on the Christmas Blog, Vicki issued a challenge for us to use bling. Also, Maria provided a sketch for us if we wanted to use it but I didn't.
Sorry for the poor lighting...maybe I should ask for a new camera for my bday :o) Here's a close up
I added tiny pearls to the center and put Crystal Stickles on it. I then used Lime Green Stickles for the leaves. I can't really give any details of the card as I'm not sure who makes what - I know I got the stamp at Archiver's and the paper from Hobby Lobby. I used colored pencils to add a little color to the flower and leaves. Honestly it looks better in person, trust me!
Be sure to stop by the Christmas blog to see the team members creations and to play along! We'd love to see what you come up with - and who doesn't have some bling just lying around waiting to be used!!
Hope you have a wonderful Monday and thank you so very much for stopping by!

Hey Girl, good to have you back. I missed you!
I'm glad you're doing better and hope Abby starts feeling better soon too. Being sick sucks! Trust me I know,... we've had a very rough 1st half of the year health-wide. But I'm hoping we just got it all out of the way to enjoy the rest of the year,...(wishful thinking!) :-)
I'm sorry, I don't want you to think that I'm ignoring you, but I haven't received an e-mail from you which explains why I haven't replied.When you get a minute (lol) please try sending it again. I promise to respond.
Love ya and miss you!
glad you're feeling better! Love the pearls in the center! Great touch to a great card!
