I'm sitting here pleasantly full after a lovely Christmas dinner of meatloaf, roasted potatoes, salad, chocolate milk, and
fudge (a surprise from my mother in our Christmas box!), feeling quite content. My husband is reading a Sandra Boynton book to my toddler and the baby is in bed already, having tired himself out from the excitement of the day. (For those of you who are scratching your heads and saying, wait a minute, wasn't Christmas two weeks ago?, we are Orthodox Christians and celebrate Christmas on the Julian Calendar, which falls on January 7 every year). We have a white Christmas this year, having received a light dusting today, and we've had a great time together as a family. The next 12 days are a time of feasting, rejoicing, and presents! We have our annual family party on Sunday, to celebrate my toddler's third birthday, my husband's and my namesdays, and the baby's namesday. It should be a good time if the weather holds! We are expecting close to 50 people, so I'm hoping we can fit everyone in our small house.
My card today is a simple share that I CASEd from Claire Lawrence, who in turn CASEd it from Megan Bastow. Sometimes a good idea is a great one, right? I made 10 of these at the end of my Christmas card making season and overshot on the number I actually needed, so now I have a head start for next year!
Supplies:
Whisper White, Night of Navy cs
Northern Flurries EF
Four the Holidays stamp set
Rhinestones
Night of Navy ink
Merry Christmas. Very beautiful card!!
