I'm So Excited!!

I am so excited, I can hardly wait! My family from Ohio should be here around 9:00 pm. My grandson is playing in the Bell hockey tournament, so I will be at hockey arenas for the next few days. They live so far away that I cherish every moment they are here. I am looking forward to having fun, fun, fun!!!! Lots of food, laughter and hugs.

I just finished this canvas and I really like the way it turned out. Lots of 3-D and pretty little charms and beads hanging from a little pin. Ignore the glare in the pic, I was in a hurry when I took the pic to post. This is a birthday present for my daughter-in-law Julie who is in the pic. YEP! that is my Ohio family.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

A Christmas Card!

Yikes, I am behind in my blogging. Going back to work has certainly had an effect on my life lately. I am settling in at the office, I guess it is like riding a bike you never forget, the basics are all there, different places just do it differently. I, like everyone else is busy preparing for Christmas even though there is just hubby and I. My son and family will be here on the 28th. My grandson Andrew is playing in the big Minor Hockey Tournament held here in Ottawa every year. They will be here for 5 days. My other son and family will come in from out of town for a day during that time. I will be attending a lot of hockey games. I am looking forward to seeing everyone and having lots of fun! I am posting one of my 2 Christmas cards that I am sending out this year (hope to get that done today). I will post the second one shortly.

The picture definitely does not do this card justice. The sliegh was embossed in Zing Copper glitz embossing powder and is really sparkly. I used copper shimmer paper and embossed it using the cuttlebug and added a cute copper tree brad.
Thanks for looking!
