Personalized Christmas Card Set

I am back to share yet another Christmas card set I created for

the kids' dance teacher. 

She is so spunky and fun and they really enjoy her classes. 

My daughter is preparing a fun and sassy solo for this year's dance competition season...

and I can't wait to see it on stage! This teacher is the one who is choreographing it. 

Sort of one of those dances that are just a touch sassy with some hip moves. 

One of those "... wait ... is that my daughter doing those moves?" sort of dance...
but still respectful and tasteful at the same time. 

IF that makes any sense at all :) 

OK, enough about that.. and on to the cards. 

My little miss wanted me to make a FAMILY card set for them as well

as a card for their daughter who LOOOOVES Elmo. 

I will start with the Family Photo Card Set

Here is a close up of one of the cards. 

I added red stickles to parts of the image to add a little extra sparkle. 

I also kept these CAS and not embellished so they would be easier for

her to mail out. 

And here is the card set I created using their little Elmo loving 

baby girl as my inspiration.  I had fun drawing both of these images, but

this one just stole my heart. Probably because this little sweetie is just 

so adorable and I knew seeing Elmo would make her smile... 

*she probably kissed the cards too ;-)*

Thank you for stopping by and visiting with me again today.

It is cold and icky and rainy here. 

sigh

And I pulled something in my shoulder so every time my kids

call me or the dog barks or anything else I turn my head and instantly regret it. 

Fingers crossed it goes away by tomorrow. 

I have too much to do... that I WANT to do... and this ain't workin' for me :)

Have a very blessed and happy day!

5 Days until Christmas

Can you believe Christmas is almost here?!?! I can't. Things have been busy so I have had less time to post. Daisy (my dog) had surgery and is home today. We are still waiting to see if this helped anything. The kids had a cookie party at ballet and now are on a 2 week break (whew! We needed that, lol!) And today we had breakfast with Santa (I brought the kids food with me:) They had a wonderful time. Here are some pics of the past week or so.

Have a great weekend.

cards for Tommys coworker

no cards .. just kiddies!!

Last night was the first night all week that Tommy was home. He is working again tonight:( We miss him. He put on one of Hannahs wigs and was goofing off. I almost peed on mys elf from laughing so hard. :) Hannah is in a 'rolling eyes' stage and Tommy Ray is copying everything she does .. so they were full of that!!! Then Laughs!!! Lots of laughs! :) it was a fun evening:)




Today the kids spent a lot of time drawing and playing. Hannah is such a sweetheart and, to me, an amazing little artist. Iwill have to get some of hers out and make a larger post showing off her art. I have LOADS of pics she has drawn. All different and so detailed! She loved using my watercolor pencils today.

While she was drawing, Tommy Ray was messing. I looked over and he had pencils stuck in his ears. CAmera already in hand, I snapped a show then told him not to do that, he could hurt himself. Then he threw his pic saying it was stupid and he was MAD. I got him to laugh and saved the day:) Hope to create later. HAve a great weekend!!!

A few Family pics:)

Just wanted to share some family pics today. The kids are watching a bed time movie and are so sweet .. for the moment:) ;). I can't believe how fast they are growing! I see more and more every day how much God has blessed me. I am so thankful.
