ICS and News

Good Morning. Can you believe it is December already? WOW!!! First I want to share the name of the winner of the free image i offered during my Snow Buddy release this weekend. the winner is Jenn from http://customcreationsbyjenn.blogspot.com/, Congratulations!!! Email me and I will send you your image of choice right away!

I am so happy I had time to get in my ICS card this week ... almost on time. Things have not been so normal around here. Some of you know our dog of 12 years is sick. We can not find what is causing her problem. Her abdomen continues to fill with fluid, lots of it, and we have had to have her drained once, and will have to do the same thing today. They said if it happens again they said that the prognosis could not be good and we would have to make some major decisions. Some I am not ready to make at all. I will not get into this any more, just had to share a little so you would know why I have not been on as much the past week or so. **edited** Daisy is home, but they think she is having fluid from either right sided heart failure or has a tumor that is leaking fluid. We have to take her back Friday unless something happens between now and then. I just can't think about what to do if they can't do anything to help her. It breaks my heart to look at her**



Dawn really created another amazing sketch. This one is so fun!!! i loved the scallop and the circles. They just SCREAMED snowman to me! I guess I am on a kick though :). This sweet snowman is a wonderfully fun, jolly, warm and sweet kind of fellow. I love him!!! My beautiful and talented friend Carolyn created this little guy and will be releasing him on Dec 3 to her Busy Beauties shop ... AND we are having a hop that day, so be sure to come back to see all the yummy images she and Thomas have created for our pleasure. You really do not want to miss these. They are absolutely darling and will be the PERFECT addition to your holiday images but are so versatile they can be used for any occasion. Just wait, you'll see! :)

I colored this little guy with prismacolor markers, sparkled him with stickles, layered him over RAKed paper from my beautiful friend Carol and used a fiscars punch for the side scallop.

I am off for some coffee and to take a break (giving away the fact that I am typing this and setting it up to post in the morning) Thanks for taking the time to stop by. Have a blessed day! And don't forget about the hop!!!!!

I am entering this card to the Spoon Full of Sugar: non traditionally Christmas colors, the Digital Tuesday: Christmas Sparkle challenge, Creative Card Crew: Christmas
