Well the sentiment on my card says Just Chillin' but I doubt if any of us are able to do this yet unless you are super duper organised.
The stamp is from Unity, I signed up for their Stamp on the Week and I do enjoy getting a new stamp through the post every week although I have been so busy I have only used a few but I am looking forward to getting to use them after Christmas. I have coloured it with Copics and cut and matted with Spellbinders Nesties. The blue mat behind the image is actually the backing card that an embossing folder came in which I then embossed and recycled as my mat. I have embossed some white card with a snowflakes embossing folder and used Grand Nesties to cut it out. The paper is October Afternoon from the Holiday Style pad. The sentiment came with the stamp and I covered it in glitter probably a bit too much as it looks a bit blurred!
My husband has been updating my craft room for me. It is in the loft he converted it about 5 years ago so the walls are sloping which makes it a bit difficult for shelving etc. I was in a real mess if I put something down I couldn't find it and it got to the point where I was crafting on my chair. So he has done some more storage for me and put little shelves running along the back of the worktops. When I get back from my hols I am going to order another unit from Storage 4 Crafts so I will have so much space! Its all my own fault I buy far too much stuff - I know we all do don't we?
Well we are off to the gym in a moment and then off to see Max in his Christmas play this afternoon, I love these its always a pleasure to see all the little ones on the stage!
Thanks for looking and I will catch up with you all today - promise!! Take care xx

Hi Susan
Sounds like you have been right there...
In case you decide to go there...Scrappin Time is the largest Scrapbook Store. It is at 5915 S Eastern at the Walmart shopping center. Go south on the strip (Las Vegas Blvd) till you come to E Tropicana, take a left then eventually a right on W Eastern. Go down to the corner of Eastern and Oquendo and you are there.
There is also a bus that goes there. You catch it on the strip and have to transfer on Las Vegas Blvd and cross the street kitty korner to catch the second bus on either E Tropicana or they might make you go as far as E Russell and transfer there I can't remember.
The concierge can help...I just called the bus transit place. 702-228-7433 It is a lovely store and well worth the trip.
I used to go to Vegas twice a year
as my husband had a convention or sometimes a Pension administration course. Then we would usually go on our own for a 5 day getaway from our winters!

Oh I miss the Christmas plays we used to go to when our son was young. Children have such fun at them and are so adorable to watch. My son kept stopping and waving at us at his first one. He was just so proud to be up there on the stage. Everyone thought it was a hoot. ah memories...
Love your card and the snow family without noses, terribly cute...
hugs
Glenda

Wow how fabulous a new baby for Christmas , you are going to be a busy Nana. Glad you got some new shelving , you can craft in style now.
Have a wonderful Christmas Susan , Biggest Hugs Elaine
Can't think of anything better than a grandbaby named Noel! Hey sweet lady, I play bridge too!! Your snow family card is adorable. Sure wish we were having frosty weather here - way too mild and sunny. It really does not feel much like Christmas.
Happy Holidays!
Sandy
