It was 16 degrees this morning…’baby, it’s cold outside’! My sweet father-in-law has been visiting all week so that he and Wes can deer hunt. It’s been a treat for all of us, especially the girls. I know without a doubt the guys have had a wonderful time together doing boy-stuff, but I don’t think Pa planned on full-blast-7-hours-a-day-in-the-blind and 16 degrees. Poor guy, he’s going to have to take a vacation from us just to warm up a bit. Hopefully, he feels like we do, blessed and walking around with a warmer heart this week for sharing good times with people you love. I {heart} my family.
Here’s my take on Beate’s sketch. I’ve enjoyed the sketches the last few weeks, and this one was perfect for my pretty Lizzie Anne set: Christmas in the City and Winter Wonderland Paper Pack. I used Copic Markers YR31(Reddish Yellow) & G63 (Pea Green) to color my mitten. The sentiment is stamped in Espresso Adirondack ink. Some accent with my paper piercing tool and a Martha Stewart punch snowflake to accent the corners.
I’m working on several Christmas giftable items, and I plan to start posting next week. There will be some oldie ideas revived and some new ideas that have been rolling around in my head. Plus, Sharon and I have been cooking again…and we just might have some more stocking stuffers up our sleeve. Stay tuned, by Monday for sure! <wink>
Make sure to check out more sketch-spiration from Cambria, Charmaine, Jenn, Mary Jo and Sharon this morning. I’ve got a full day of work ahead of me and a crab leg dinner tonight. I feel a great day coming on! Hope yours is wonderful in every way!
