Ribbons and Bling - What brings you joy?

Good morning everyone!

I hope that you've all had a wonderful weekend with your families and you're ready for the week ahead.

I'm thrilled to say that most of our Christmas presents are wrapped, and we've been filling the house with the tasty smell of Christmas cookies. However, my belly is also quite full of Christmas cookies. I feel a New Years resolution coming on....

It snowed a TON here on Sunday, so I was able to work on a few stamping projects! Hooray, what a unexpected treat. Love that!

Today I have a little Bessie Lulu from Stamping Bella to share with you, I used a lot of my precious Taylors Tiny Twinkles on this card. Do you see that one adorns each individual scallop on her dress?

I've used a ton of stitching here, and I must say that anytime that I can use more than one type or ribbon on a card, I'm a happy girl. I've got faux suede ruffled ribbon, gingham and some jute twine to boot. ...Sigh... Love that.

Amidst all the crazy of preparations the next few days, I hope that you get to find some time to do something that brings you JOY this week. For me, its been baking with the boys and spending some time snuggled up with my sweet hubby watching movies with a fire in the fireplace. He's been a workin fool the last few months, and finally we're enjoying nights where he's not occupied with a conference call and I don't have only paper to keep me company. Love that too.
