Is It Time Yet?
I'm just itching to start putting away the Spookables and decking my halls with Boughs of Jolley. Until Tuesday morning at dark o'clock I have to amuse myself by getting my craft supplies stocked and ready. I was going to make two Christmas card garlands for my office windows, but I couldn't bear to glue the vintage cards to the rick-rack. So I've been scanning those cards into my computer. It's taken longer than I expected, because I keep playing with the cute little graphics that sometimes are included in the insides of the cards and even on the backs. I don't know why I didn't do this years ago. I could have been using the fun graphics in my crafts in addition to the bazillions of files I have already.
Cute Cards...
You might as well snag these little cuties...I would!
I love cards with windows or doors.
Windows open!
This snowman looks as sweet as his candy cane.
The inside is just as cute!
What's cuter than a kitten? Two kittens!

A Silly Miss! Reminds me of Olive Oyle.
A few of these cards came from one of my favorite thrifting finds ever.

Even cuter on the inside!
That's all I was able to get done today! I had to take a break from some of my more manic crafting. Instead of cutting and pasting, I kidnapped my sister and forced her to go to 5 Guys Burgers and Fries. Later my hubby and I went to see that weird movie about the future where Justin Timberlake has a timeclock on his arm and he's out of time. Is it called "Out of Time?" I can't remember. Oh, well....
I just want to say how grateful I am for the times my husband George and I spend together. We like so many of the same things. He was my high school sweetie. He's a fun date and my best boyfriend ever!
Have a fun...not too frightening...Halloween Weekend!

ReplyDeleteYou didn't kidnap me! I went willingly and enjoyed every moment! Now I'm back to work and wishing I was hanging out with you!
