Ho! Ho! Ho!

So stinkin' adorable! I love how this card was laid out...beautiful!

Again, sad to say that there wasn't a name listed on the back of the card but as soon as I figure out who it belongs to I will get that information posted. :)

Oh, how exciting it is to receive such a beautiful card and special gift from Close To My Heart...just one of the many perks for being a Director! :)

This year the gift was a cute little heart jump drive on a key chain. How stinkin' blingy and clever! Love it!! Thank you Jeanette and everyone up at Close To My Heart!! :))

A cupcake crusader!

Its a happy day. :) ...and I think I shared this photo on my blog before but it only seems fitting that it be the one to share today. :)

(and a special thanks to my friend Cherie Lynn for the adorable ceramic cupcake she sent me last year. I absolutely love it and think of you every time I look at it!).

Anyways, back in May I was asked by Close To My Heart if I would work on a special project with them. I of course said yes! I was asked to tell a story about why Close To My Heart means the world to me and so I proceeded to tell the story about how I lost all my childhood Christmas ornaments & how my very sweet, generous friends started sending me the most adorable cupcake ornaments because of my love & passion for the almighty cupcake! :)

Well, today is the day that the project has gone "live" up on the corporate site and I wanted to be sure to invite you all to take a peek of my story. :) I have posted it as a PDF at www.stampinbuds.com/Files/cupcake.pdf for easy viewing. I'm very excited about it! Let me know what you think. :)

Christmas Card Swap

Recently I organized a Christmas Card swap with my team. The cards that came in are so beautiful that I can't wait to share! I have decided to share 1 card a day for the next several days. I hope the ideas help to bring you some inspiration as we enter this very last day of the month.

This first card was my entry into the swap. :)
