Holly

Hallo,
  A chilly Saturday morning here in NW Florida - Yah yah I know, in Nebraska this am its -2 and in Wyoming its -24ish but when its 80 one day and 54 with wind chill to 40 the next, its cold!!!! My puppy sure loves to walk when its cold though, its like she gets and energy boost (and she is already pretty energetic!!).
  I have a project to finish in the craft room today and I am going to try and get the Christmas decs down from the attic and get the tree up today too...then tonight is a Christmas party with my work crew which I hear is always interesting (I usually don't go but got talked into it this time).
  My Chief Enabler Pat and I went to Pensacola yesterday shopping - found me some New Balance shoes on really good sale - hard to find in my area especially in a wide size and at a decent price to boot!!! I also found some pretty good deals at JoAnn's (they have a super store in PSC) and at Hobby Lobby too - both of us did and by the time we went to both of those we decided we had better stay out of Mike's as both of us had spent more than we planned.....
  On the way to lunch we passed a new Flea Market near the mall which is really awesome - its a great mix of antiques, craft items and art - and its huge!!!! It will defiantly be added to our must stop list for our rare trips over yonder....
   Well todays card is another for my Christmas stash - only about 20 to go (I may need to simplify!!)
I used a Flourishes stamp and Neenah Desert Storm paper from Paper Temptress and colored it with prismacolor pencils.
  I used some faux stitching around the edge of my Spellbinders die for the current Tuesday challenge over at Flourishes - www.flourishes.org/blog/
  I had better get a move on this am - my 2 big project to finish off and then its release week again over at Flourishes with the first challenge being a sketch, so I need to get to work on that too!!!
  Have a great weekend!!!
