*****
Be sure to check out the Noel Mignon message board for so many incredible ideas for Christmas!
I made a few Christmas cards using the new Mistletoe & Holly kit from Noel Mignon!

I love the mix of "vintage" with fun, bright colors that are in this kit.

It is not too late for you to make your own cards.

There are still plenty of days left to get them in the mail!
Hop to it!

There are perks

I love my job.
{well most of the time}

I do love being able to help people & seeing them get better.
And I love all the treats that our patients bring us!

I made this one with the fabulous With Love line from Pebbles.
I am totally digging the pinks & reds mixed with the kraft in this line!

Inspiration

Twice a month there is a cool piece of inspiration put up over on the Bella Blvd blog.

This is the inspiration that was put up this week.

Cool, right??!
I took that inspiration and made this!
I was inspired by the soft colors.
I also like how the "text" enclosed the other items and I tried to do something similiar on my card.
I even dug dug deep into my stash of Bella products to find the cool text paper from the Estate Sale line.
It is such a cool piece of paper (I almost hated to use it! ha!)!

Check out the Bella Blvd blog for more great ideas using this piece of inspiration!

Yep, that's me!
I am officially a "hunter's widow" now that deer season is in full swing here in Alabama.

But don't worry, I am making the most of it!
This layout is an account of my weekend happenings during the first weekend of gun season.
;)

I made this one with the fabulous Hudson Valley kit from Noel Mignon and a couple bits of ephemera I collected over the weekend.

I hope yall had a great Thanksgiving!

Have you defrosted your turkey yet??

Well it is not too late!

Sure Thanksgiving officially starts in like an hour and you will probably be stuffing your face in 12-18 hours from now.

But if you have a bathtub you can still get that turkey thawed!

Trust me...

{this is actually an older layout I made with last year's Christmas kit from Noel Mignon but I thought it was kind of appropriate for right about now!}

Speaking of Christmas kits from Noel Mignon, this year's kit is up for pre-order and they are shipping out Monday!!

Happy Thanksgiving (a wee bit early)!!
