Sweet Song of Christmas!

Hello friends!   Did you have a fantastic weekend?  I know a lot of my friends and family were recovering from Thanksgiving and running to the stores to cash in on those mad Black Friday deals. 

We finally had our Thanksgiving yesterday (yay!) since we had to cancel the festivities on Thursday with my little one being so sick this week.  Poor little sweetie is just now starting to perk up!  It was wonderful to have my family around the table, laughing and singing, and mainly eating themselves into a stupor.  :) 

Since I didn't have all that holiday prep last week from postponing the holiday, I made this card with one of my favorite sets from Clear Dollar Stamps called Christmas Cuties!!  The images and sentiments are just too darn cute and what's even better is there are two different versions in the store - a pre-colored set for when you are down on time and a black and white set for when you feeling like coloring the day away!

Hope you all have a fabulous start to your week and thanks for stopping by :)

Quick Post

Hey everyone!!  Did all my American friends have a wonderful Thanksgiving?  Hoping you were blessed in many ways yesterday!!

My apologies in advance for this having to be a short post today - one of our twins has been horribly sick for the past 24 hours with fevers spiking up to 104.

I whipped up a quick Christmas card using one of the images from the TLC Christmas Club based on the sketch last week from Deconstructing Jen.  I'm a huge snowman and angel fan and I just love this guy to bits because he's a bit of both!

Oh and mark your calendars!! This Sunday, the awesome DT from TLC will be having a Winter Wonderland Blog Hop with lots of inspiration and freebies along the way!!

Hope to see you there!!

Clear Dollar Stamps Blog Hop

Welcome to the monthly Clear Dollar Stamps Blog Hop!!  Our theme for this month's blog hop is "Thankful", and it really couldn't be any more fitting with Thanksgiving right around the corner :)  

If you've come here from Cassie's blog, then you're headed in the right direction!  If you haven't, then you want to start at the beginning of our hop which is over at Lori's blog.

Just in case you get lost along the way, here is the blog list of all the stops:


Lori
Sarah T.
Christi
Lisa
Deanne
Cassie
Sara I. (You are here!!!)
Linda
Barb
Shell
Stacy
Jerusha
Kathy

For my hop creation today, I decided to use this adorable image and sentiment from the Charlie Harvest Digital Set that is available in the Clear Dollar Stamps store.   

He's just so happy sitting on his little pile of goodies that it reminds me of the joy that comes from expressing gratitude even for the littlest things.  The great thing about Charlie is that not only does he come in a digital set, but he comes in a clear, acrylic stamp set as well!

Don't forget to sprinkle some sugar on our blogs along the hop because one lucky winner will be chosen from all the comments left - the more comments you leave, the more chances you have to win a $25 gift certificate from Clear Dollar Stamps for some digital images!  The winner will be announced on November 23rd!

Your next stop along the hop is Linda and she has something amazing in store for you!

Happy Hopping!
