I'm sorry to break it to you but you didn't win a Chicken Dinner.  "The legend tells that years ago every casino in Las Vegas had a three-piece chicken dinner with a potato and a veggie for $1.79. A standard bet back then was $2, hence when you won a bet you had enough for a chicken dinner. !” says urbandictionary.com  What I really want to say is THANK YOU to the TWO people who commented on last weeks My Fave Monday post.  I'm giving away fifty sheets of Paper Trey Ink Card stock to both followers of my blog because it just seems silly not too with odds like that!  So a big Thank You to Miriam Prantner and Cathy!   If you're ever in my neighborhood, which is a good 6 hours or more drive from Las Vegas, I would gladly cook you a chicken dinner, but for now, I've notified you both of your winnings by email and look forward to sending out your free and My Fave Card stock!

It really is my favorite, as in, hands down, if I had to choose one thing to make, I would choose to make Christmas cards, favorite.

In my world, Christmas cards stand the test of time despite technology.  It's always nice to receive and give this time of year and one of the best ways is with a handmade card that shows the appreciation and thought, not only in the work it takes to make one, but to the recipient who gets to have one.  It makes me smile. And as long as it does, I'll keep on making them with the help of some pretty amazing stamp and paper lines available this season. Year after year, how they keep coming up with this stuff just amazes me.  Like a crafting lemming, I gobble it all up as if there's n

Already?  I've got nothing!  Well, that's not entirely true.  I, apparently have a lot of scrap booking supplies.  That fact, in and of itself, could be a complete understatement...just saying.  Two days ago, I'll call it Saturday, I decided the garage needed a good cleaning.  We were putting away all the Halloween decorations anyway, so why not take full advantage of the meaning of efficiency and clean up while we're at it?  It's a great idea in theory but not so great in actuality.  What happened is I found a boat load of crafting crap, amid the usual seasonal crap, I've managed to accumulate, in the garage.  And ever since finding it, I feel like a hoarder.  I say that only because I can't fathom putting this stuff out for trash or even giving it away.  I mean, I paid good money for a lot of this stuff!  Some of it, I've received as gifts and I'd be willing to give it up but some have value. I'm embarrassed to say that the six plastic
