Hello, "Deer" Friend! :)

Hi out there in blog land!  I pray all is well with each and every one of you :)  We just returned from a quick trip to the Magic Kingdom which is always magical, fun and there was snow!!!  Well, as best as we can get here in Florida, rofl -- Main street was beautifully decorated for the holidays and has snow falling :)  It's definitely my favorite time of the year to visit Disney! And as of today, we have our 3rd December birthday girl under wraps - hee hee!  I'm officially baked, shopped, wrapped, gifted, finding creative places to move The Elf, birthday'd and concerted out!  And I still have to pack for the 8 day, 1,600 mile car trip - oh heaven help me. I asked my dh to just medicate me and wake me up when we get there, but he informed me that he's going to fill a jumbo thermos with Starbucks to keep me up to help him drive, lol! 

And I actually managed to make a card today!  While laundry is piling up for washing and packing, I squeezed in a few minutes to make a card for my Secret Sister in the 'hood exchange :)  She's truly a deer friend indeed, and I was excited to ink up this adorable Elzybells (LOVE!!!!) reindeer again with the matching sentiment.  I sooo miss this company :(  I made it pretty simple overall with one of my old card layouts and love this paper  - so rich and elegant. I do hope she likes it, as I sure love her!!  *muah!* :)






And I am SO SORRY that I haven't been to visit you!!  I try to visit a blog here or there while I'm out but on my phone it's impossible!  I'm off to see you today, though :)

And ............ drumroll please! ..... I know you are all probably wondering about the stamp giveaway ....... So without further delay, a random winner was chosen using the number my birthday girl gave me to chose and going back to count ........

DARLENE!!! 
 Congrats on your blog win - you are receiving a surprise in your stamp package to keep an eye in your mailbox - "Santa" is arriving early! :)
Thank you everyone for stopping by, for your love, your comments - as always, I wish everyone could win but I give candy away often so please be sure to stop by again :)

Blessings to you,
Big hugs!

    Fantastic card, your secret sis will love it, for sure! Sounds like you will be needing medication by the end of January. Why did you have 3 girls in December? LOL My baby is Jan 2, so close to the tax write off...

    Kelly! What are you doing here??!! You should be packing, relaxing, getting ready for your trip... How do you do it, woman? You should win the mom of the year along with crafter of the year as well. *sigh* you truly are my hero. :))))

    Love this little holiday-filled card!! I am loving this little Elzybells streak that you are having.... they are really adorable stamps aren't they? And you do such fabulous job with them always.

    Have a fun-filled, snow-filled, and most importantly, laughter-filled Christmas!! Much love to you and your family!! Hugs!!

    Oh, I am so jealous. I NEED a Disney fix, lol! Disneyland is just up the road from us and I haven't gone since the Summer. Can't wait to go again! Your card is wonderful. I love the way that you have done the inside. I need to do that more.
