Here are the last of the Christmas Card Exchange. All the cards are just beautiful, thank you for participating in my card exchange.
Tonight I got busy! I baked a batch of Giant Sugar Cookies. Once they were cool, I stamped 5" x 5" CD/DVD envelopes and made belly bands for them. They are so adorable and the cookies fit in them perfectly. These are such a simple Christmas gift.
Margi came over to stamp with me tonight. I finished the cookies, and made two double Snowman Soups. I did this by packaging the ingredients for the snowman soup in a cup. I put about ten mini-marshmallows in a small cellophane bag and tied it with a ribbon. Then I put two hot chocolate mixes, the marshmallows, two candy canes, and two Hershey Kisses in the cup. Then I packaged the cups in a large cellophane bag and tied it ribbon.

I enjoyed my weekend. I didn't get any crafting done. Madison and I did a little shopping Saturday evening and then we stayed up watching Open Season. Sonny, JP, and Tammy went camping. Here are a few pictures of Madison helping me make a batch of oatmeal cookies for her to share with her classmates. She was very proud of them. I will be sharing the Christmas Card Exchange cards with you this week. It takes some time to get them uploaded, so I'll do a few each day until I have shared all of them with you.
Most of you did not put your name inside your exchange card, so I will not attempt to identify them. You did a fantastic job, I'm excited to see you out there using all those wonderful stamps and designer papers. Thanks for participating.

I have had a very busy week so far. We had Monday night club and I taught a class at Priceless last night. It went very well, so I guess I teach something for her again next month. Here are a few thing that I made over the last few day, weeks, whatever. I can't keep up with time anymore...
Here are some of the jars of coffee creamer. These are the Chocolate Mint and the Malted flavors.
I got my first Christmas card last week. This one is from Selda

Gibbons. Is this not just as cute as it can be. I love getting handmade cards. Thank you Selda!

I am sponsoring a Christmas card exchange. If you will be attending either of my Stampers Ten club meetings you can participate. Create 12 Christmas Cards for the exchange. They can be made with any stamp set. Be sure to bring them with you to club. Also, just a little reminder. Decembers Stampers Ten club meeting has been moved up one week so our orders have time to come in. Monday nights club will meet on December 8th, and Thursday nights club will meet on December 11th. If you have any questions call or email me.
I went straight to the grocery store when I left work today. I had to buy the ingredients to make the dressing. Next year I'll buy the turkey! I can't believe how much it all cost. I came home and baked three pans of cornbread, cut up three loafs of bread and laid it all out to dry for the dressing. Sonny is so sweet, he had a bowl of tomato soup and a grilled ham and cheese sandwich ready for me when I came in the door. I was starving too!
I did sit down and work on my Christmas cards. I have everything pulled out and scattered all over the dining room. I have decided to go with polar bears for one of my card exchanges. (By the way..... I have to participate in two card exchanges (24 cards). So, don't expect any sympathy when you tell me you just didn't have time to get 12 done! lol I think I'm going to go back and add some glitter. Here are three of the ones that I have finished. The first two have a plain background, but I decided to use the canvas background instead.
