Hello Stamplings!
We had about ten minutes of sun after days of clouds and rain (yay!) so I grabbed the critters and the camera. Pardon the squinting ~ it was really bright! Nellie and Hammy are all decked out to wish you the happiest of holidays! I made the bow Nellie is wearing from ribbon gifted to me by Greta when we were together in Indiana. Thank you, Greta!
And here's a little cyber card for all of you!
Finally, a fun poem from my friend Barbara:
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Twas the night before Christmas and I'm glued to the tree,
Wondering what Santa had brought just for me.
Could it be cardstock, or chipboard, or lace?
Or a Cricut, I thought, with a smile on my face.
And that's when I heard him,
"Hi, Santa," I said.
"You know," he replied, "good little girls
should be tucked up in bed."
"I know I should, Santa,
and now I've been caught.
But I was just so excited
to see what you brought!"
"Well, let's take a look
at this room where you work."
Then he should his head quickly
and left with a jerk.
I heard him exclaim
as he put it in gear.
"You've got enough crap!
I'll see you next year!"
~~~
Enjoy your Christmas day, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy New Year! No, seriously, enjoy! Life is too short! And special hugs to all of you who are not well or who sadly know firsthand just how short life is and how sad the holidays can be.
Hammy and I thank you for another year of great fun and friendship and creative inspiration! Cheers to 2020 where we have a 5050 chance of getting everything we dream of! Whoo-Hoo!!

Hi Darnell, Loving the photo of your two babies:)

Oh yes, Santa would say the same to me - certain members of my family make like comments :)
How wonderful of Hammy to pose for photos with Nellie - they are both so handsome.
We had a wet day here for Christmas, but it was still warm, thankfully.

Fun poem and I so love the look of the card, traditional yet trendy, certainly festive!
Merry Christimas to you and Happy New Year, my dear friend! LOVE the pictures of Nellie and Hammy. It's sure bright outside at the time of the photo ... lots of dreary rain and gray skies for us. But no snow ... I wish there was snow!
LOVE that poem from Barbara ... AWESOME and SO TRUE (for me too!). Love, Lolly
Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year. Great pictures and card!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, the Mister, Nellie & Hammie.

Nellie and Hammy are just too adorable for words! Quite the year of changes, and so glad Nellie is one of them! I love that poem! Good thing your craft space isn't near the Christmas tree for Santa to see! Your decked out reindeer is so striking on that beautiful vivid background, and I'm happy to say I just used my second panel like that that we made together at the farm house. Happy New Year!
OMG Nellie is adorable ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
