christmas eve, a little sumthin', and a thank you

this was supposed to post on xmas eve. i'll be back tomorrow!

i guess thank yous are in order!  :) i appreciate that you take the time to stop by here every day. i can't tell you how many times over the past year i've thought about stopping the daily find posting and each time just as i've made a decision someone posts a thank you to me for sharing my finds. this always changes my mind and encourages me to continue!

it's christmas eve and i'm taking a little vacation from my blog until the new year. i hope that the holidays are happy, safe and lovely for each of you. speaking of lovely - be sure to check out this video of amy krouse rosenthal's 10-10-10 beckoning of lovely. it is truly lovely.

be sure to check out write.click.scrapbook next week - i will have a calendar printable up. and the card above is a great printable for your christmas thank yous!

a layout to share

 
inspired by peg manrique whose work i miss seeing around. i wanted to use the new after midnight kit from polka dot pixels at two peas in a bucket for something other than a new years' page. love the greens in this kit!

easy and stunning garland


do you think i could make it and use it on my tree? i have been searching for cool garland for years and the past few i've just left my tree bare of garland. we used to string popcorn/cranberries, but it takes an inordinate amount of time. let me know if you think it would be worth the effort and hold up for a couple years!

free printable subway art and a banner too!

this is stunning - set to print at 16x20 - my thoughts are you could resize to 4x5 and use it as a card as well.
