I got them loaded

I spent two hours day before yesterday trying to upload pictures again. Somehow I have been disconnected from something between my phone and computer. I've been to all the things I know to do with no results. I emailed pictures to myself, then didn't know what to do with them. It was a really bad day and I just couldn't function. This morning I emailed them and downloaded them. Then opened my downloads and dragged them into my picture folder. It takes forever but I did it. Then I went out to mail my cards, finally. Wednesday it was 45 degrees here, yesterday it was 54. Today it is 14 degrees and my mailbox was open with ice in the door so it wouldn't close. I came in and called my next door neighbor and asked if she would mind if I put my outgoing mail in her mailbox. She said no problem. I went back out and hers is frozen shut! I normally do not go out in this kind of cold. The wind is making a wind chill and I can't breathe in that air. Bottom line is I'm mailing them tomorrow. I'm sorry my cards are so late but I will tell you I really enjoyed making them even though they are quite simple. It made me so happy to be in the crafty mood again.

I bought the Simon Says kit last year at Christmas and I used the manger die for this card. The paper was in my stash. I stamped the sentiment and embossed it in gold along with the star.

Give me coffee to change the things I can and wine to accept the things I can't. 






Be kind to one another.

Love the use of the musical dps for the background - perfect with a sentiment that is the title of a carol!

Your card is adorable Brenda, and everyone who receives your cards will be delighted, even if it’s a bit late. Our weather is very up and down too, and technology drives me nuts sometimes! xxx

Love this CAS creche image. Your friends will love your handade cards whenever they arrive. You've had quite an ordeal getting them mailed. And here it is up to 50 gain today.

Oh what a time you had! We've had some cold weather, but nothing like you guys. Very happy in our little mild corner of the country! So far, even the heavy rain has mostly skipped us. I adore this card! Wonderful die and love the music paper for the background! Hope you had a lovely Christmas and have stayed healthy and happy to craft! I love the angel card you sent me and it was here in time--not that it ever matters to me. I'll be enjoying it until February!
