A Marshmallow World

So we had our first snow, and I slept through it!  In my defense, I'd been up eighteen hours straight with a very cranky toddler and I was exhausted!  Then yesterday we had the second snow and I DID see it while it was falling.  It didn't really stick.  Just my luck.  Like my hero Lorelai Gilmore, I too LOVE snow.  It jut makes everything look and feel magical, and especially right now it's a wonderful escape.  I've been playing Christmas music since midnight on November 1st, so this song was obviously inspired by the lyrics on the stamp.  Brenda Lee rocks.

Tea Makes Everything Better

Not always hot tea, mind you, (I'm a BIG iced tea drinker!!), but tea does improve things tenfold, methinks.  I'm guessing this girl would agree.

Hot Chocolate Kind of Day

Oh today was SO a Hot Chocolate Kind of Day!!!  I made myself a cup and enjoyed it while watching a favorite Lifetime Christmas movie and it really helped me destress!!  This time of year is crazy without all the extra crap going on.  Be sure and take time for yourself.  The little things matter!!!

Christmas Cocoa

Okay, yeah, yeah, here I am with another blog post.  I know, I know, I said I was taking November and December off, but, yeah.  Here I am.

The Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop is going on now!  I had such high hopes for creating this week but, well, life interfered.  Big shock right?  My first project is hot-cocoa inspired.  


I chose to use my Friends props in the photo because my love for all things coffee started with my obsession with the show.  I won't date myself by admitting how many years ago this was 😎

**ANYTHING GOES** New Challenge with Love To Scrap Challenge Blog!!

Happy November!  It's the first so it's time for a new challenge over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and our theme this month is Anything Goes!!  I've been in Christmas Mode for awhile, but I managed to make a fall card this month and I'm really happy with how it turned out.  I stamped on shimmer cardstock and colored the images in with my Spectrum Noir markers.  I just had to be really careful not to color over the Versafine Clair ink so the images didn't blur.  Stamping in a brown rather than a black helped.


Just a few challenges:


On a personal note, after this post I'm taking the rest of the year off from blogging. I will have my December DT posts but that will be it. I need to regroup and relax and make my Christmas projects.  Thanks for your understanding and I'll see you in 2022!!

**Craft A Favorite Memory** New Challenge with A Place To Start!!

Happy November!  It's a new challenge at A Place To Start and our theme this month is Craft a Favorite Memory!  It was a no brainer for me to find inspiration for this project.  I wanted to make a birthday card based on my best birthday, my 21st, where we went to Disney World.  This was super fun as I LOVE all things Disney and it was fun to think about the trip and reminisce.  I also enjoyed this theme, I don't think I've ever crafted a memory before.
