Peace



Hi!

Seems like I'm always in a hurry lately, and honestly, I AM done with almost everything for Christmas. I think that's my problem. I keep adding more extras to my list! 

This morning I decided I needed to make some peanut brittle, after all it IS Brent's favorite. Then I added some gingerbread men, my daughters favorite. But what about lefsa? I cheated this year and bought some...but honestly I feel SO guilty. It's been a tradition in my family for generations. Back on the list!
So much for being ready!

Today I have another quick post,after all, I gotta get some pretzels dipped....yes... I added that back too. I already have about six different treats in the freezer, which is plenty already!
I need an intervention!

I'm entering this card at CAS ology...Memory Box snow border die

I know what you mean about never being done....and adding more to your list! My list is always on hold during the day, as I have my little "helper"!!! Anyway, your card is delightful! It reminds me of the peppermint candle I have burning right now....delicious! And I have that "peace" and haven't used it all season!

The snowy edge is so pretty against the red! It's hard to stop at Christmas time. If I think I'm done early, I always add way more and then I'm in a panic to finish! My DD added some calendars to her wish list so I'm frantically trying to get them done.

Your card is gorgeous, Laurie! For some reason, your card made me think of sweet candy cane. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us at CASology. Have a lovely festive season and all the best for a happy (and crafty) 2015!
