Joy to the World

Well, hello!  Thanks for stopping by today.  Things are already getting busy for us here in Lilesland, and we have a super busy week next week with activities (choir, voice and dance recitals, soccer parties, show choir performances and a show choir Christmas party), basically something every night on top of working and teaching at The Little Blue House. Just keep me in your prayers that I make it through next week!  After that, the kids will be out of school, and I'm hoping to get a little time in with the fam, just enjoying some "stay at home" activities.

Anyway, today was the first day it's really been cold here in Fort Worth, as it was 80 degrees just two days ago!  I guess Texas has decided to go ahead and do winter after all.  LOL!  So my cute little snowman here is all bundled up and ready for the colder temps.


I stamped everything and colored with my Copics.  The wreath is from the fairly new FALL FOR YOU stamp set and cut with the FALL FOR YOU Confetti Cuts.  The snowman is from the COOL FRIEND stamp set and cut with the COOL FRIEND Confetti Cuts.  I added the sentiment from the SENTIMENTAL CHRISTMAS stamp set with my fancy new Tim Holtz Stamp positioner tool (Momma likey) in Piggy Bank ink.  I also embellished my wreath with my favorite snowflake die set ever, SNOWFLAKE TRIO Confetti Cuts.  Here's a little tip:  My pink cardstock that I cut the snowflake from wasn't quite the right shade of pink to match her little hat.  I just swiped a little ink color to match around the edges.  (For this kind of thing, I use Quick Quotes chalk inks--this one is Pixie Pink.)  It totally blends now!
