Hi Stampers :
Happy Sunday friends !
My Father in Law and Momma Jody headed out yesterday and should be back home in TN this morning . What a Wonderful Christmas we had with our family. That was the best Christmas gift under our tree this year.
So many goodies everywhere … 7- Layer cookies , Pecan Pie, German Chocolate cake , Pumpkin Pie , Coconut Cream pie , Chocolate pie , Cookies .
We had our family photos taken on Thursday which we were scheduled for Wednesday but we got a LOT of snow and it was not safe for anyone to be out in that mess . Thankful Courtney could re schedule us in for Thursday and it was so much fun 2 hours of photos / couple photos / group photos etc….
As soon as we get them I will post some of them. Here is a sneak peek of one of the proof's. We had so much fun !
Speaking of SNOW Dad did something he had not done in years … Shoveled snow (See photo)
While they were here we went to Bronners /Famous TONYS ( which we were good and we all split this HUGE Nacho). Jody & I went to Home Goods not once but twice .
One thing with this fabulous store is if you see something you really love you should get it because it won't be there the next day . Case in point Jody found these adorable nesting baskets for her Kitchen in the Christmas section which was 60% off .
There were (3) sets of baskets and she picked up 2 I mentioned to her she should just get all 3 but she only picked up 2 then by the time we got to check out she put 1 back … fast forward … we got home and dad said she should have got more of those for that price . We went back the next day and she did get another set BUT the 3rd one was gone, as well as the end tables she fell in love with .
We would have went to Ikea but the snow knocked out 1 day of getting out .
Hubby got my Mom & Jody a Pandora Bracelet for Christmas and Pat got Jessie a Pandora.
Dad and Hubby hooked up new heating vents in my Stamping area and my Stampin office while he was here and Hubby got me a Beautiful Computer chair ( see photo) . Dont you love his wrapping with blue duc tape? It's a guy thing LOL!
While dad & hubby went over to the rental house and put in new counter tops and the kitchen sink Friday night I did Shellac on Jody's nails and she loved it ! She picked Clearly Pink and Mother of Pearl ( glitter ) are they pretty or what ?? She has such pretty nails.
Oh and look at the rock on her finger Dad got her ! We all agree her new sparkley nails go so great with her new ring and Pandora bracelet.
As 2012 comes to an end I just wanted to tell each of you I am so thankful & humbled that you welcome me into your home each day Thank you for all your encouragement with your emails and comments.
I was thinking of a year in review with photos. But what photos could I post that most of you haven't already seen on my Sunday shares.
I will be starting a 2013 Sunday Share category this new year .This way the whole year will have it's own year in review . Today's Sunday Share will be the 1st post in that category.
I am so overwhelmed with Gratitude for all of you . I have always said that stamping has brought us together but over the years I feel all of you have become a part of my extended family . So many of you weather its through my blog / email / texting / Facebook / Twitter / Phone calls …I can't not express how you all have made my day brighter over the last year .
I am looking forward to 2013 and all the stamping fun we will be having together . Thank you so much for picking me to be your SU! demonstrator .

Dawn,
Thank you for a year full of wonderful works of art. I know that whenever I need something (good) in a hurry, I can always count on you (your blog). I do CASE a lot of your projects, but that’s because I LOVE your work. I know I’ll never be as good at paper art as you are, but I’ll keep trying.
You are really an inspiration to me and I’m sure to the stamping world too. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to not only meet you in person at the 2012 SU Convention, but we also took a few pictures together.
I know you will not only keep up the GREAT work you do, but you will always be willing to share with us so we can try to be half as good as you.
Happy New Years and may you have many blessings this coming year.
May The Lord bless you and keep you in His loving grace.
