Hey there! WOW! We have about 18 inches of snow here in Southern Illinois! It started with freezing rain on Thursday around noon, turned to snow by the evening, and didn't stop until late Friday! Everything around here came to a screeching halt, including the craft fair I was participating in today, so I'm snug at home with my laptop! (and my stamps!)

This morning it is bright and shiny with the sun out and a blanket of snow everywhere! My husband is helping Ben get his car out right now so he can go to work. He works part-time doing appliance delivery and yesterday was one of his usual full days of work, but even that got called off. Guess it's not a good idea to be handling large appliances in the snow! Today he works the whole day too, although I can't imagine what they can do with all this snow. The main roads in Mt Vernon will be pretty clear by now, but all the residential and sidewalks? Ben should have quite a day!

I'm still working on prepping the packets for my Christmas Catch-Up & Customer Appreciation Event next Friday. I've already shown you all 12 projects, so I don't have any new creations to share, but I do still have quite a few of this month's swaps you haven't seen, so for the next few days I will share some of those until I get a chance to stamp something new. Today's sample was created by Carla Starry:

Carla used the Pop 'n Cut Card Base Die for her creation, along with the Be Merry Single Stamp, Gumball Green & Whisper White cardstock, Polka Dot Parade Designer Paper, In Color Patterns Designer Paper Stack, Chery Cobbler ink, Gumball Green Marker, Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Modern Label Punch, and the Small Oval Punch.

The full length of the die is 11", so there is room to score & fold to create the holding section for a gift card. This die even cuts the little slits for the built-in tabs to insert into, so it goes together in a snap!

That's all for now! The craft fair has been postponed for another week, so I just might have time to make a few of these to sell! We shall see. I have quite a list of "to do's" in front of me right now, including getting out my family & church Christmas Cards, so this item will have to go to the bottom of my list. In case you haven't noticed, I have  problem with saying "no", even to myself! I just want to do it all! I'm working on prioritizing, and sometimes I do a good job, but other times I just love all these cute projects so much I just HAVE to make them!
