Another month has flown by! I just don't know why time has to go by so quickly. We were delighted to spend time with three of our GRAND daughters this weekend. They are such a joy! They make us laugh and we LOVE spending precious moments with them. I wish I could bottle all their energy and enthusiasm!!! Needless to say, our home is lonely and quiet today!
As I was reading through many of the blogs I follow and looking through the sketch challenges for the week, I found two that really appealed to me. The colors in Merry Monday #77 and Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge # 313 gave me the perfect chance to start Christmas cards!
