Merry Christmas!

 Who had a fabulous Thanksgiving?!

We stayed home (just the 3 of us) and created a Whole Foods, Plant Based meal. Last year we were vegan too, but I did cheat a little with turkey and ham. 

So.... so much has been going on. You've probably noticed I'm not posting daily like I have for years. Well, we have moved (temporarily) just so we can work on the house easier without living in it.

Our darling, Ginger, passed away on November 20th. She was 6 years old. My heart is broken. I was able to pick up her ashes a couple of days ago.

And... this has nothing to do with why I've been busy, but I'm so happy that I've lost over 40 pounds. 

Now... on to some crafty funness...

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone.

Thanksgiving Pocket Letter

 Hi, everyone!

Today begins a new challenge over at my blog
Crafting Happiness Challenges.

Ch# 23 Turkey and / or Pilgrims

I decided to make a pocket letter for this challenge. I sat down and made a few of these with using some of the same Cricut cuts and then adding a little bit of different flare and papers to each one. I'm just so burnt out on card making. I still make them, but it's time to move on to something else for a while.


Supplies:
Cricut cuts
Sheer Ribbon
Extra Thick Twine
Ribbon
Pattern Papers
Washi Tape
Pocket Letter Page

Thanks for visiting with me today.
I so enjoy reading all of the comments you leave me.
Would love to hear from you today.

Enjoy your day,
:) Janis

Anything But a Card Challenge

 It's No Cards - Anything But a Card challenge time at my Crafting Happiness Challenge blog this week. Come join us!


You'll notice I have 3 different pocket letters I created this month using some of the same die cut images from the Cricut library. The colors may alter a bit on the die cuts, but the pocket letters also have slight differences to them as well.  I'm in a pocket letter swap group on Facebook (which I love), so I was doing a little bit of mass producing with the die cuts and papers.

Supplies:
pocket letter base
washi tape
Cricut die cuts
bookmark created in Cricut
Extra thick twine
ribbon
ink
buttons
flowers
stamped sentiments

Thanks for stopping by today.
