Last year really flew by for us. Do you find that is true in your life, too? That time goes so fast?
We have two more days with my family and then we'll be home. We've had a great time here. Special times, particularly for me, being able to spend some one-on-one with my grandson. Yesterday he and I made a morning Starbuck's run. He doesn't drink coffee yet but likes Starbuck's hot chocolate. Seattle is Starbuck Heaven - you don't drive very far before there's you see one.
I may have made a dozen Christmas cards - at the most - this year. Below is one of them. I'm considering making a few each month this year so that when December arrives, I'll have a larger stash.
And here is another card I made to send to the MD Anderson Cancer Center during Splitcoaststampers Hope You Can Cling To Challenge in November. This card uses "inches" for the stamped image.
I'm not sure when I'll be back. I have lots to do our final two days here. Laundry and packing are at the top of the list today. There's also one more movie I'd like to see before heading home. Thank you for stopping by today. Your visits are always appreciated.
Blessing from Yesterday: Shopping with John, my daughters and my grandson.

Enjoy your last 2 days with family! And I'm with John-not a coffee drinker but love their hot chocolate. Love that 2nd card, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI should really get my cards made ahead this year too but I'm 'Christmassed' out at the moment!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are both gorgeous cards Susie...love the big silky bow too :)
Safe journey home.

Totally gorgeous, Susie!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a wonderful visit with you family, I know how much you miss them living in Illinois.
ReplyDeleteDrink up your Starbucks.. lol.
Both cards are lovely.
Safe travels to you and John.
I'm with you on making some Christmas cards each month. I had so many to do at the last minute. I don't want to have to do that again. I love these 2 cards and wish you and John a wonderful 2012. Safe travels my friend.
ReplyDeleteLove the silhouette card (but you just can't go wrong with a silhouette stamp!) and your "inchies" card is very pretty! Glad to see that you are able to spend so much time with your grandson...my Charlotte is always getting me to take her to Tim Horton's (it's a Canadian coffee/donut shop) but she goes for the food of course!
ReplyDeleteI don't drink coffee either but be sure and try their vanilla bean blended cream...like a vanilla milkshake and oh so yummy Gwamma!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great idea to carry on making Christmas cards but I never seems to be able to do it! I think I like to be inspired by the current season. How wonderful to have had such a lovely time with your family. I totally agree that time goes by far too quickly - and I suppose we just have to appreciate every minute! Have a safe trip home.
