I woke up this morning with the same earache, stuffy/runny nose and scratchy throat that kept me home yesterday. After I was showered and dressed I realized that I was just sick enough to be miserable and only marginally productive, so I stayed home, reluctantly, again. I took a photo of my workspace and went to work on the final project for tomorrow's
Wacky Watercooler Blog Hop:
It's kind of dominated by
ATCs that I've been making; I still need three more. Finished ones at the far left, stamp at the upper right corner of the pad of grid paper, and the sunburst mask I used for the latest one. On the grid paper are the ink pads and a mask for that last blog hop project - you can see it here tomorrow at 9pm EDT! A few leftover Hexagon Hive bits that may be useful eventually, some framelits and printed samples at the far right. There's a blank canvas and easel that were too small for the project I had in mind, but they'll be used for something someday. You can also see a canvas in the window - it's one my daughter painted when she was first learning to paint by copying famous artists. He never got his wings, but he always makes me smile.
After I finished that, I logged on at the computer. Thinking that a Christmas card project would help me feel better, I checked some challenge blogs - and what to my wondering eyes should appear
{heh} but a card I made last week named as a shooting star at
'Tis the Season! That totally made me feel better!
I took it as a "sign" that I needed to use that sweet
Jingle Belles sketch one more time for the
Festive Friday- inspired gingerbread and holly card that's been bouncing around my brain all week:
stamp sets - Scentsational Season (retired), Christmas messages; ink - Chocolate Chip, Versamark; Stampin' Write marker - Versamark; Stampin' Emboss powder - clear, white; card stock - Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip, Wild Wasabi; designer series paper - Holly Berry Bouquet; 3/4" chevron ribbon - Chery Cobbler; Big Shot with Scentsational Season (retired) and Oval Collection framelits; Stampin' Dimensionals
I'm feeling quite a bit better, now and looking forward to getting back to my other desk and computer tomorrow, but I'll be back here in the evening for the blog hop - please stop by again, won't you?

Hi Kathe,
I'm glad you are feeling better. Sometimes our bodies just tell us to take a break - and we really need to listen!
Congrats on being noticed at 'Tis the Season. Very cool. Your latest Christmas card is too cute!
