We haven't seen any of the white stuff but it has gotten chilly. I haven't turned on the heater yet, but I don't dilly dally around in the morning!!! *grin*
Did you go shopping today? I wasn't going to go out, but my boys kept talking about what we did last year. So, we did get out. We waited until 10am & missed most of the crazies. :D
I made another red & green floral card to use for December birthdays. I also pulled out the eyelets for this card... I don't use them very often & yet I still can't get rid of them.

Every year, I tell myself I am not going to be in this situation... ya know... the one where you have more birthday, Christmas, thank you, etc. cards all at once... I have some of my cards made, but right now I am thinking that direction.
I have several December birthday cards & I like to do something red & green, but not so much holiday. When I saw the JUGS challenge, I knew it would be perfect for a Dec. birthday card!
I made this for one of the HYCCT challenges on SCS. The challenge was to make a project out of our comfort zone. I chose no coloring. I couldn't even tell you how long it's been since I haven't colored when making a card.

My boys are blessed in so many ways. They have incredible men in their lives... strong men, men of integrity, men who are leaders, men who pour into their lives. Today, we want to say thank you to one of those men. We met Mr. Jay at our lifegroup at church. We got to spend time with him & his wife, before they took an assignment to D.C.
My boys don't realize that he has a high ranking, they don't realize that the job he is doing is a very special assignment. They do however, remember a man who poured into their lives. A man who stood at the Bushido "man" table, who had a high five for them & who encouraged them. Mr. Jay, you aren't here for them to say "thank you for your service", so this message is for you. Thank you so much for your service & your dedication to our country. But more than that, thank you for being such a Godly leader & for pouring into the next generation! You are appreciated!
The challenge was to create a collage type project. This stumped me for a little while & then I remembered this stamp from Penny Black. I bought it & haven't used it. It came in handy! *grin*
