Why I Have Been MIA!?!

Weeeellllll.......the long story short IS....it was a completely HOMEMADE Christmas this year!! Now that my hubby is back in school...and I am his "sugar mama"...finances are tighter than what we have been used to. Thus - we decided to create gifts from the heart...and so I have been furiously scrambling to finish up all of our MANY projects....which I can now showcase!!

Ohh laa laa!!

First up would be the box of CARDS that I gave to my older sis. My friend, Melissa did this for her mother...and ever since, I have wanted to do it for one of MY fam members. My sis, Erica, is so thoughtful when it comes to stuff like cards....so she was the perfect recipient!

Homemade Christmas Post #1:

I made six cards of each....and kept one for myself (so I can duplicate them in the future).

The above cards were my last batch...I was pretty exhausted by then...so they were the most simple!

I L.O.V.E. how my above "Thank You" cards turned out! AaauugghhH!!!

These would have looked even BETTER if I had time to ink the edges...but they were still darling!

SUCH a simple design, yet so cute!

The above card...my "design" from a Card Swap I did earlier in the year...I had enough to give Erica five of them!

My cute sis after opening the present...

A handful of the cards! A HUGE success!

I will be posting about our MILLION other little projects during the next few days! Hope you all had as FABULOUS a Christmas as we did! LOVE this time of year!
