Day 7 Holiday Treat

Hope you are having a nice weekend. With hubby on vacation, we have been soo lazy! We did manage to send Christmas cards out, tried to take BIL to lunch on his b'day (12/2) but he was working in another city. Happy Birthday today to Baby B aka Berkeley, my son's sweetheart. She's only 29 today. I suggested she stay that age lol. I'm trying to figure out where the time has gone as I haven't accomplished much of anything since Thanksgiving. But this week I intend to catch up on housework and holiday stuff and get back into my aqua therapy routine. I've got some shopping to do still, have to put up the new tree I bought (did buy that this past week), make fruitcakes, and once tree is decorated, I'll start wrapping some packages. Also have to put finishing touches on the doll clothes I made for Inara. Pulmonologist wants me to have the new Prevnar 13 pneumonia vaccine so have to call my primary doc about that. And have to go stand in line at the PO to mail a couple packages. Going to try to schedule all days for this week so that nothing interferes with there being a freebie on line. Next week I have a couple of appointments scheduled so need to get as much done this week as possible.

Before I add today's freebie, I want to thank everyone for the lovely comments. I'm happy to hear you are joining my little treat. I'm trying to alternate papers with elements as I go and there will be some more CU items too. Now here is today's freebie:

Special thanks to Cari Lopez, Christy Strum of Buttermug Squash Designs, Karen of Woolsweater Street, and Trine of Nothing But Freebies for resources used. Pick up your papers here: http://www.4shared.com/zip/EfuLqobwba/ws_HolidayTreat_120714.html? Hugs, SherryD

Holiday Treat Day 5

I've been being so lazy with husband home on vacation. Yesterday (Wednesday) we went out to Hobby Lobby which has just opened in this area. Like most guys, he had something he wanted to look for and wasn't interested in prowling the whole store. I just headed for the bead section to pick up a couple things I wanted to finish up some metal bookmarks I'm embellishing with beads and charms. Will go back and explore more throughly next week while he's working. Next he treted me to lunch at Olive Garden. Full of Tuscano soup, salad and bread sticks (he tried and loved the Chicken Gnocchi soup), we came home and napped lol.

Today I thought you might want more papers? Have to point out that the red and gold beaded paper was created using a great template set from Karen Stimsen of Wool Sweater Street. Thanks Karen!

Holiday Treat day 4

So, today I signed for my Medicare Advantage plan to start January 1st. Feel sick over how much my health care will cost this year - not the premium which is reasonable but add in co-pays I haven't had to pay, big deductible and prescription costs higher than previous. Stil, far better than not having any insurance, right? I just better not be sick much this coming year. Sure . . . . Other than that, not much new. Have lots of housework to catch up on now that one holiday is past and I'm feeling better. Then it's making fruitcakes (people really do eat my fruitcake and I have a list of people to make them for) and decorating for Christmas and a little more shopping to do. We are all going to be busy for next few weeks, aren't we? Just isn't going to feel much like Christmas this year without my Jeremy here. I know, grin and bear it Mom, they grow up and have their own lives. Anyway, here is today's treat some Santa themed brads and flairs. They are CU4CU.

Holiday Treat Day 3

How about a few elements today? I don't much care for poinsettias; I prefer roses so you will be finding red and white roses in this kit. Today the roses are mixed with holly and pine in the page topper. There is also a large journal tag and a flair showing a cute Victorian child. I love vintage, can you tell? My thanks to friend, Joanne of Joanne's Digital Designs for the holly spray template I used and which you will see again.

Holiday Treat Day 2

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving Day? My son and his girl came down from Pennsylvania and my father and his girlfriend came to dinner too. Fortunately, I was over my bout with shingles and hives but worn out. Still, all those good hugs I got from Jeremy and Berkeley were well worth pulling myself together for their visit. J & B were so sweet and did all the cleanup and food storage after dinner. They had also made a huge batch of Chex Party Mix (original recipe) and brought it along. Good snacking! The kids (they are't really but once someone's baby, they stay your "kids") aren't going to be here this Christmas as both are working so I just wish I'd been a little livelier while they were here, but they were tired too from long drive so it was okay. Weather here is bouncing badly again so Sunday was a waste for me due to sinus headache. At least I've managed to set my retirement sales, put up Day 1 of holiday treat and set this to go on Day 2. This time the treat is Personal Use so from Wonderland Scraps - 3 full size papers:

Day 1 of Holiday Treat

I was working on a Christmas holiday kit when I made the decision to go ahead and retire on 12/31/14. I never did come up with a name for this kit which is in traditional colors, so I decided since I'm giving it away in pieces each day in December, I'll just call it Holiday Treat. I don't plan to do an overall preview because: 1) I'm not sure I've finished with it & 2) some pieces are PU so under Wonderland Scraps and some are CU so under my Sher Scraps 4 CU label. If you are interested in what I've been creating, you will just have to check in and see what's up for offer. This first package is of some vintage figures in colors to coordinate with all the other pieces or to be used alone. It is CU4CU.

You can pick up Day 1 here: http://www.4shared.com/zip/1xzpqBxMce/ss4cu_HolidayTreat_120114.html? Hope you enjoy Hugs, Sher
