Christmas is over and I have one day to relax, get my house back in order, and spend time with my kids before work starts back up tomorrow. But there is nothing but smiles today and it makes me so happy to know that all of our needs have been met and we have made it through a difficult year! Sometimes things actually work out and it's a GREAT feeling! =)

So... with much love in my heart I made this card using an absolutely fabulous image from Tiddly Inks! I just love this precious image. Maybe because it reminds me of my own daughter (on a good day when she's behaving of course =) It's a very simple design but the Tiddly image makes the card!

Merry Christmas!

So I finally got a chance to upload and edit a few pictures tonight. Christmas is finally over and it was a fantastic one at that! I feel blessed that in my current situation I was still able to provide a generous Christmas for my 2 little ones. God is good!! Today was a great reminder that family is everything and love encompasses all! Here is one of my last Christmas projects for the year =)


This is a sweet candy/cocoa jar I made this week for a white elephant gift exchange! The image is available for purchase at Whimsie Doodles! (and don't worry.... he made it to a good home =)
