Future Stamp with Karen Project (click here to view my blog)


We will be making this Bendi Card when our Stamp with Karen Classes resume.  We were going to resume classes on January 9th.  However, I have received a summons for jury duty that day.  Therefore, I will have to wait and see when we can resume classes.  In the mean time, you can see what you have to look forward to.  If you'd like, you can do a search on Pinterest for Bendi or Bendy Cards.  There are a lot of ideas for fun cards with this layout.

Until then, happy new year!

Christmas Eve Candle Light Service at Riverpark Bible Church
We had a great time with family on Christmas Eve day and Christmas day.  We are so thankful for my dad's good health this Christmas compared to last Christmas.  I think he enjoyed it too!  

Wishing you a blessed new year!

An Angel Christmas at Tenaya Lodge (click here to view my blog)






We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the Tenaya Lodge just outside of Yosemite National Park on Christmas Day with family and friends.  The snow was beautiful and for the second year in a row we got to have a white Christmas!  We have a lot to be thankful for! 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

A Day in December (click here to view my blog)






I started the day as a judge for an office Christmas Decorating Contest.  It was as fun as in years past.  It's a privilege to be asked.  Then I went to the Post Office to send pistachios to my cousin in Minnesota for my dad.  It's a little tradition that he started.  Finally, I had the pleasure of having lunch with my friends from my youth at Mimi's.  We talked for 3 hours with ease!  What a blessing to have friends like these.  Dinner with my husband and close friends and a little shopping afterwards rounded out the evening. 

Here's a little sneak peek at a card that we will be making in the month of January in my clubs. 

I'm looking forward to doing some sewing and sending Christmas cards in the next few days!

Merry Christmas to all!
