just a hundred or so....


There I am, teeny tiny hair and all, making up Christmas cards and talking up a storm.
I spent an entire week at my daughters house over Thanksgiving weekend and enjoyed every moment. Will never forget this time together.

My daughter designed these Christmas cards last year. Her inspiration came from Tim Holtz's 12 days of Christmas tags. We have been planning this out for basically the whole year. We forgot to plan in that I would be unable to lift my arms up and that she would have her gall bladder removed the Tuesday before...great planning.
Ahhh, it all worked out in the end and we really had a marvelous time. Nothing better than wearing jammies and making girly jokes while creating. Life is marvelous!!

as always, ENJOY! Linda aka Oz

    Hey Linda!
    It is so great to see you. You ( and your wonderful sense of humor) have been sorely missed.
    I often think about you. so glad to see you making cards. LOVE the design btw..

    Life is funny that way, huh? We can make all the plans we like, but in the end we have so little control. I guess it reminds us to be grateful for now, and all the wonders we are blessed with today.

    Take care of yourself and your family :)

    Hug
