Hello Friends it is BBTB2 time....It is super cold here...Brrrrrrr..........Friday our schools were cancelled ..Yipee..I got to have my Isabelle home for a three day weekend. So do you have any New Year Resolutions? Hmmm..I have many that I think about, and that I wish I could accomplish. I think that sometimes life gets in the way, My theory is that 50% of the time life is what you make it and the other 50% are just things that are out of our control. Like the economy, accidents, sickness, toxic relationships with family or friends etc. I do however believe that God and prayer is super important in ones life. The main two Resolutions in my life at this point in time is to try and be happier and content with what I have and who I am. Try not to focus on what I don't have, but what I do have. Sometimes hard work and a good education doesn't always mean happiness. Enough rambling on, but I am going to leave you with this last thought for you to ponder. Because I said that I am going to try and focus on the positive things in my life, a few positive things are my family and friends. I love being a mommy to my two beautiful children and a wife to a very hardworking man. The friends I do have are awesome...(you know who you are)....Last but not least I am thankful for this blog, a place to share my thoughts, and my creations...Thanks for taking the time to read this. Hugs to all....

Hi Friends..
Sometimes in life we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of Christmas and forget about what is really important. I love the first song on my blog by Taylor Swift. The words are so true. God really is great! I just wanted to share a cute little note my 7 year old Belle handed me today. It went like this.
Daddy and my to do list for today~~~~~~~~~~~
Go sledding
Have a snowball fight
Finish peanut butter balls
Build a snow-family
I could feel my heart smile when I read this.
Sooo cute...

Home for the Holidays~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Welcome to Monday and BBTB challenge. This week we were asked to use the Winter Woodland cart. The branch on this cart was our task to accomplish. It was a ton of fun to use this branch on my card with the Tilda stamp. I have been buying these stamps way back when they didn't have hair..HA...I just bought some more and I am going to really put my stamps and copics to good use once my new stamps arrive. This will be my last post for BBTB until January as the whole team is on Vacation...Sigh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Supplies:Bazzil and Martha Stewart paper

It is Monday which means it is BBTB time. The challenge was hosted by the sweet Enfys this week. She chose the ribbon frame from JOTS....I thought about it for a few minutes and remembered I had that cute little santa stamp I could use. I had fun with this little stamp because I embossed St Nick's beard and hat. (Cute huh)? I added little gems to give it a pop. Used my Martha Stewart holly punch. I found these cute little red bells at M's for a $1.00 (score)...........Thanks for stopping by, love to know what your thinking, so leave me a little line or two...(wink)......
