Sew Cute Tuesday {12.28.10}

I hope you won't be too disappointed if I don't have any features this week!  Heck, I was lucky to even get "Sew Cute Tuesday" up and running in time!!

We have had a very busy week, enjoying our time with family and friends...and it looks as if we'll stay busy throughout the New Year.  I'm still debating on whether or not I'll make any resolutions or not.  I have a hard time keeping the darn things.  Anyways...I'm digressing here.

I hope you all have a happy, and safe New Year!  We'll see ya in 2011!!

Now let's get this linky party started!!

Scalloped Christmas Card

I never got around to sending out Christmas cards this year.  I know...I'm TERRIBLE!!  But I did end up making a few cards to include with gifts for some ladies I work with at church.

I was inspired by THIS CARD made by Andrea Walford....LOVE her!!

I'll be taking the next few days off to spend time with my family.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!

More Cookie Boxes...

Here's a few more cookie boxes I made for gifts.  Have I mentioned how much I LOVE these? 

You can find a tutorial for these HERE from Inking Out of the Box.

Sew Cute Tuesday {12.14.10}

Have you ever had a week where the more you tried to get done, the more you got behind?  Yep.  That explains my week in a nutshell!!  I woke up early this morning and all of a sudden I remembered that it was Tuesday....and I didn't have my Sew Cute Tuesday linky party ready yet.  So please forgive me for the lateness of getting this up.  I will do better next week!
