Calendar Girls - Anything Goes!



Oh. My. Goodness.  
It's almost a brand new year!  
Can you believe it!  
I truly think this is one of the fastest moving years I can recall ~ 
I blinked and nearly missed it, it went by so fast!

My husband's busy work schedule has kept us close to home
this holiday and let me just say, God is good and knows
our needs, even long before we do.
While I dreamed of a white Christmas, romping in the snow
and hiding in some cabin in the mountains,
we are home and resting, relaxing, rejuvenating :)

Since today is the 28th of the month,
that means the Calendar Girls post a card with a chosen theme.
This month's post was optional as was a theme of Anything Goes.
I was so excited when I spied the November issue of Papercraft Inspirations
(back in October!)
with a free stamp set of Forever Friends inside!
I literally squealed out loud and did a little hop right there in 
the magazine aisle of Joanns! 
I love Forever Friends stamps!!
So of course I had to ring in the end of this year with
a shout out to Christmas-time with this little Christmas Forever Friends teddy.
I am in LOVE with this stamp

  
 
The inside is stamped with a TAWS stamp sentiment
and I chose this one because it truly represents my heart's feeling
towards all the gals in the Calendar Girls - I'm thankful
for them and another year of wonderful card making, challenges
and a friendship lasting through the years!

I'll see you back again in a couple of days with another
card and then it's countdown to the new year! :)

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
~Kelly
