Greetings Everyone!

While I would much rather send each of you a handmade Christmas card, I like many of you fell behind this year.  So, I'm sending you this sweet greeting until I get my cards in the mail.  I'm sure you can relate to the hustle and bustle of December.  It's said that it's okay to send them as long as they arrive by New Years Day.

This has been such a tough Christmas this year.  It's my first one without my Dad and I'm finding myself a bit melancholy.  There are so many wonderful, crazy, loving memories of Christmas' past.  Perhaps it's just that I'm older now and miss those magical days of past where there was the laughter of children, stockings stuffed with surprises, presents under a beautiful tree and extended family get togethers. 

I'm looking forward to tomorrow when we go to my Mom's house to join one of my sisters and her family and my brother and his.  Then we'll make new wonderful Christmas memories again. 

Merry Christmas to you and yours.  I hope it's been magical.  Cherish the family times.  Record them for the future.  It's memories that keep the ones we love with us always even after they're gone.

God Bless,

Jeannette

Jeannette Swain

I don't know about you, but I love Autumn!  It's my favorite time of year and one of the main reasons my husband and I got married during October.  We celebrated our 10 year anniversary this week by going to the cabin in the Shenandoah Valley.  The colors of the trees were almost as spectacular as they were the day we exchanged our "I do"s".

Now, don't laugh, and I know you crafters won't, but I took my stamps with me.  I knew that the colors of the leaves would inpire me and indeed they did.  I brought my favorite fall colors and had at it.  

Here's a Thank You card I came up with:

Gently Falling Cabin Outside100911 copy

And here's the inside:

 

Gently Falling Cabin 100911 copy

LETTERS TO SANTA CARD KIT

as seen at Crops Plus, the Diva Crop and Weekend Memories!

LETTERS TO SANTA

Yep, this is the kit you've been waiting for!

It’s time to start making your list and checking it twice!  With my Letters to Santa card kit you can start marking things off your list already. You’ll love the fact that you’ll create a whole variety of quick-to-make cards featuring the Quick Accents self-adhesive die cuts.

You’ll create 8 cards, 4 mini notes, and 4 tags along with a handy folder for organizing your cards and other holiday information in no time. Just because these projects are quick doesn’t mean that we’ll be skimping on the details! 

Get your holiday season off to the right start and leave plenty of time for relaxing under the Christmas lights with a cup of cocoa during the holiday season.

Please note, this is a class that you do on your own.  Full color, step by step directions are provided along with class contents.  If you purchase this in time for a crop that I'm attending, I'll have the sample there for you to borrow.  I'll also have the stamp set "Merry & Type" for you to use.  If you're making it at home, you can use any holiday greeting set you have on hand unless of course, you want to order it.  Just let me know if you do.

Kit includes everything you need including a full pack of Letters to Santa Die Cuts, Half a pack of Letters to Santa DSP (precut for your convieniance), Ribbon, Dimensionals, Basic Rhinestone Jewels, cardstock (precut for your convieniance), envelopes and RSVP pen.  That's a total retail value of $36.20!

All you need to supply is adhesive, scissors, sticky strip, glue dots and bone folder.

Orders taken until November 30, 2011.  You need time to create them before Christmas, right?
