Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Thursday !!!

I had a bit of panic this morning when my DH was trying to transfer data from my old computer to my new one. He had accidentally deleted all my files (OMG). Luckily, we were able to do a restore and everything was back in order.
Today's Playing with Colors came from Kristi S. - Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip, Pool Party and for my Neutral, I chose Whisper White. I used this cute Like-o-meter stamp set from Stampin' UP that I just love to use especially for my Valentine's card. I used the Spice Cake stampin' UP fabric for my button and the ruffled ribbon for accents. Hope you like it.

Merry Christmas to all !!!

Hope everyone is enjoying this morning festivities- opening presents, having a wonderful breakfast and/ or still snuggled under the covers. Whatever you do, make it a joyous season!!!
As for me, I took a break in the kitchen after I got my breakfast casserole in the oven. I put more stocking stuffers while everyone is still asleep. And with a cup of coffee in one hand...  I am sharing a project I made for my class using the Twenty Five and Counting. I cut so many  pieces, I thought I was going crazy. The class did each square and they were done in no time.  I actually let them embellish their own advent calendar so they can put their own personal touch. I started working on mine everyday and finally got it finished 2 days ago.  They are going to bring their finished advent in January and anxious to see their work. Hope you like it.
