Love the combination of gold and pink, this is just such a sweet card, the embossing really takes it up a notch, fun and elegant at the same time. The Baker's Twine is indeed divine, what a beautiful detail. I'm so glad you were able to go out Susan, resuming your normal activities will also help you on your way to recovering. I bet it felt great to get your nails done!!

Susan, we've all been there where our MOJO needs to recharge the batteries so, no worries. The month of January was kind of bad for me in the inspiration department, my newborn blog was patiently waiting for me to make something pretty to post so, after more than 2 weeks of nothing, I posted again on January 29th. I'm still learning about blogging, there are a lot of things I need to learn how to do but, all things considered, I'm having fun with it. Here is the name of it if you want to go and take a look. www.swimbikerunandstamp.blogspot.com I hope your foot is getting better, are you still wearing a cast? Take care and we will see you tomorrow. Hugs. Maria.

I'm so glad to hear you are on the mend Susan, it's hard to be limited by a broken leg but I think I could be even more frustrating if it was one of your arms, at least you can still do a bit of crafting. I love your list, all of it!! it has a lot of insight and good advice. Let yourself be pampered, I bet your hubby is enjoying it too. Lots of best wishes for a continued recovery. Hugs from Maria.

I think that giving a set of handmade cards with their envelopes, all wrapped up in a pretty box is one of the most appreciated and thoughtful gifts to give and to receive too. What a great idea Susan, quick and easy to do. Thank you for sharing. Maria. www.swimbikerunandstamp.blogspot.com

I will add my voice to everyone else's to welcome Hannah back home. This trip was certainly a wonderful experience for her, I can't imagine how much you must have missed her, but now she is back in your arms Susan and that must feel amazing.

I really like this combination of colors for the Holidays, it steps away from the traditional bright red and green. I love this embossing folder, it really frames beautifully any image or die cut you choose to use, in this case, the word JOY really stands out!! The colored pearls really are a very lovely finishing touch. Thank you for sharing.
