Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to one and all!

I am so blessed to have made so many friends through blogland.  I appreciate every one of you.

I thought I'd share some of the things that showed up in the mail this Christmas season.

This lovely ATC came from Nancy who makes everything she creates look so effortless.

I love her style.

Sarah sent this card.   I love the way she embossed the snowflakes on patterned paper.

Sarah is a special friend that I got to meet in person when we bunked together on the Tim Holtz cruise.   And, happily, I'll be going down to Texas to visit with her again in January!

This gorgeous card has an alcohol ink background which is so, so lovely.  It came from Pam and her DH -- who I also got to meet on the cruise in October.  I'll be seeing Pam again in Janaury, too.   Yup, the party is at Sarah's house!!

This is an absolutely stunning card I received from Barbara, another blogging friend.  You know I love the tag here, plus the ripped and gilded edges making this a very gorgous card.

You probably can all guess who this tag came from because Jacqueline's work is so distinctive.  I love everything she makes.  It's now hanging on my tree!

Kris sent this ATC -- the detail on here is unbelieveable.  Until you see one of Kris' creations IRL, it's hard to get the full effect.

And this terrific pendant came from Lynn.  I'm just blown away by all the talent that lady has!

This was very special and it's hanging on my tree, too!,
