Keeping Updated

Happy Monday to each of you! Just one more day of 2013 .... how did that happen? We have quiet plans for New Year's Eve this year..... how about you?
 
I was reminiscing about last year. We had quite a few friends over and all of them (even the ones younger than ourselves) left before midnight! We were joking that either we need to find a batch of younger friends or spice the evening up a bit.
 
A quiet New Years eve, or not, it's time to make some New Years Resolutions. So here are a few of mine - nothing earth shattering, just learning how to live better and kinder.

Say please and thank you oftener.
Read more books.
More dates with the hubby.
Help my Mom gently live her last days.
 
And to get ready for Valentine's Day - some fun products for you!

Coffee Cup Gift Cards

 
The Christmas season wouldn't be complete without a post of my Coffee Cup Gift Cards .... more on the way also. These little delights fit into a 3" x 3" envelope to send as a love note, or package a bunch of them for a wonderful present or thank you!

Punching a small hole at the top to create gift tags is another option. The Coffee Cup Gift Card directions can be found here.
 
And just an update on my sweet Mom.... as her ALS progresses a little more each month we benefit from her amazingly positive spirit. It's a tough, tough disease but she's sweeter and because of that she's the winner.
We're in the beginning stages of creating a blog for her - orleansjourney.blogspot.com and I'll be posting more on that soon.

Got a little mistletoe?

 
 
Are you feeling a like a little mistletoe would make your day? Me, too!
I'm so glad Stampin' Up! created this darling stamp - shown here in chalkboard style as an accent for a holiday card.
 


The extra cool thing about chalkboarding is that if you get a little extra embossing powder strewn here and there it doesn't much matter - just adds to the effect! I'll take every little help I can, how about you?
Add some awesome burlap ribbon on a snowflake embossed background of red and you have a simple card that's ready to go and sure to please.
