seriously!

Here it is the 4th of December, and I haven’t even put my tree up yet!  What is wrong with me this year?  I think my holiday spirit is broken!

My intention was to put this up yesterday {actually today – but I’m preposting so when you read this it will be yesterday}  What? I think I just confused myself!  Anyway, I planned to put this up on THE FIRST.  Only problem was this, wasn’t this.  The hubs drug in the WRONG tree. ha!   He finally brought in the right one today yesterday and of course I had a headache ALL DAY. 

So instead of singing Christmas Carols, I laid or layed or lain? in the recliner and stared at this…

and these….

and wished SOMEONE was there to help get me in the spirit of Christmas…
”Gump, GUMP… ”

“you gonna help momma put up the tree?”
LOL… Doesn’t look like he’s saying, “yeah right.”

I did muster up the garland.  Remember this spot from last year?  This is where I hang all the Christmas cards.  THIS is my favorite spot in the HOUSE once the holiday cards start coming!  Would you like to swap cards?  They dont have to be handmade. I’ll post info down below…

anyway, I did get the garland hung.

with absolutely ZERO help from these guys!  JERKS!  I wish I could just lay around and chew on a squirrels head all day.  Ok, maybe not that last part.  but but… its not fair I tell ya!

how bout a little before and after…

Not very inviting is it?

but now it screams “HEY – Christmas spirit lives here! Come on in!”

I’m loving this plate.  I don’t remember who gave it to me one year for Christmas.  And in truth I didn’t even put it out – EVER – until today.  Pretty but kind of plain right?

WRONG!  Look what happens when you light the candles that are hidden in the back!  ahhhh… gorgeous.  I think I sat and watched the candles flicker for at least an hour.

my heart was full, and then I came down to the studio and was smacked in the face with the reality that is my desk. OY!

Tomorrow Today I will get it cleaned off.  I don’t care if its the last thing I do!

Empty water bottles, hair conditioner?  Why is there CONDITIONER by my computer?  Does it have split ends?  GEEZE.

I did START on it, look desk.  I see desk.  There’s wood in them there piles of crap!

LOL!

Do ya wanna Swap Christmas cards this year?

NO THEY DONT HAVE TO BE HANDMADE.  Basically, you add me to your Christmas Card list, and I will add you to mine.  I love getting cards from all over the world, don’t you?

Anyway, if you would like to do a card exchange with me, come on don’t cha wanna be my holiday pen pal? lol…  just shoot me an email with your ADDRESS on it, and I will send you mine.  When you send out your cards this year, just pop me one in the mail too.  And I will do the same.  Just click the HERE to shoot me an email with your mailing address on it.

AND

After my post the other day, where I showed you my Christmas Card for this year

I got several “requests” for it.  So I talked to Kimmers and got the A-OK to give you guys a printable of it!

Its super easy to use, just pop your photo UNDER it, and print!
This file is 10 x 7.  Once scored, it will make a 5 x 7  photocard!

I printed mine on heavy cardstock, and then trimmed off the excess.  Then I added a little glitter to mine with Spicca glitter pens, and scored it.  It’s really important that you let it dry a while, or heat set it before you try to trim or fool with it much.  That cardstock really soaks in ink, and you will get fingerprints all over it if you don’t let it dry some!

This freebie was made using Christmas Card using KimB’s Candy Christmas Kit, http://digital-scrapbooking.org/shop…as-p-2774.html and Jazzy’s Christmas Candy Word art – http://digital-scrapbooking.org/shop…rt-p-2789.html .  If you like the freebie, please consider purchasing the full products that created it.

Now, for my freebie, it will be available right HERE until the end of the month.  Please do NOT share my files. If you want to pass it on to a friend, that’s cool, just send them here to get it for themselves.     Nothing too drastic there, right?  Cool.
