Merry Christmas!





I enjoyed my day with family yesterday. It was nice to have a relaxing Christmas without having to drive a few hours to visit more family members. Instead we had Steve's dad over for dinner with his friend Barbara. We ate leftovers from Christmas Eve and his dad brought a ham. Yum. Gumbo tastes even better the next day. We ate some of that too.

The girls got iPods from Santa this year. I think that was the hit present. Of course Steve and I gave the girls new Wii games. Deer hunter and Dino Strike. Steve and I love those games and are now teaming up to kill as many dinosaurs as possible. Amanda commented that she might have nightmares from it. LOL.

Steve and I did something different this year for gifts for each other. We each bought our own gifts and than wrapped them for under the tree. At least he got everything he wanted. :) I got everything I wanted too.

I feel very blessed to have the life I have. God is so great! I know that Christmas is a lot about giving gifts to each other but I think that's because God gave us the best gift of all. Our gifts will never come close to His. Thank you God for the gift of Your Son.

Merry Christmas!

Punch art crazy!

Okay I just had to share this card with everyone. I'm very proud of it. It took me forever to figure out how to do some of the shapes but I finally did it. This card was for my friend's husband who turned 40 today. He is a serious cyclist. Every weekend he does 60-120 miles on his bike. I'm lucky if I ride my bike around the loop. I remembered seeing a punch art of a cyclist on a blog and since I don't have a stamp of a bike or anything close to it I decided to do punch art. I found the website (click here if you want to see it) with the image and did my best to copy it. I changed the colors to make it personal. Everyone was impressed by the card. I have to say that I rather make that card than ride 60 miles on a bike but I think I'll just look at the picture if I ever want to see it again. LOL. Here's the card: I will not go into details but if you want to know how I did it let me know and I'll try to talk you through it. LOL. Here's another swap
