Fairy Kitty

Two, yes count them, TWO different stamp groups I'm in have fairies as swap themes this month. I was rather lacking on fairy stamps and ideas until Fiki shared the fairy kitty card she made. I never thought about a kitty as a fairy before!

Since the image Fiki used was a digital one I knew I could have it in time to join those swaps. Here's my first fairy kitty card. Stay tuned for the second one; you'll have to wait a bit since it doesn't exist yet.

The Fine Print: Fairy Kitty digital stamp by A Day for Daisies, eyelet square die by Spellbinders, other stuff from my stash.

Magical Dragons

Hubby got me the coolest stamp set for Christmas. Here is is in all its magical action. It has several dragons and greetings on it but I was taken by this one. For some reason I had a hankering to make a step card so I combined my dragon with a step card.

I also used up quite a number of snippets to make this and the following card so for once I'm remembering to trot along to Pixie's Snippet Playground where I can show off my new dragons. This second card is a get well card that I made for my mother who caught the Annual Christmas Cold.* I drew little puffies under the dragon's eyes because he was sick.

Well, now I'm off to build a puzzle. Hubby got me a several of those for Christmas too.

The Fine Print: Magical Dragons stamp set by My Favorite Things, designer papers by  Pebbles "Garden Party," flower punch by EK Success, swirly border punch by All Night Media, enamel dots by Stampin' Up, yellow sprinkle dots by Doodlebug, step card die by The Stamp Doctor. * Someone in our family always seems to be sick for Christmas. So glad it isn't me for a change.

December 24

I work Christmas Eve. I know bunches of folks think that is terrible and horrible and have other places they'd much rather be, but not this girl.

 I like being at work. It's probably one of the only calm public places in town (besides DMV). It keeps me off the streets and out of the madness.

 Plus we get to go home at noon so after a token work day we can go home and still have a day with the sun still up and everything. Can't beat that with a stick.

 And if you are wondering around the amount and quality of work we accomplished today let me tell you that we were all busy beavers.  We ate first breakfast, took down Christmas decorations, had second breakfast, finished off projects, had coffee and danish, straightened paperwork, had third breakfast and are now working on our before-we-leave snack.

Actually, with the new year I get a new boss so I spent most of the day trying to get the old boss to put his stuff in boxes and git.  We can't seem to chase him out of here.  He must like us or something.
