WINTER WONDERLAND BLOG HOP

IT IS HERE!!!!

I am sure you are having fun seeing, snagging, & sharing

lots of great things as well as appreciation to each artist

at each stop!  Paulette's Creative Team is a great 

group of artists and LOVE to share especially this time

of year!

I just couldn't decide what I wanted to make using 

the wonderful image she gave me to work with.  Here

is the original file... Just click on it to open it large and

save it to your own computer.  OR you can click the

link at the end of the message and snag all the goodies

from 4shared.

NOW ... for what I made for printable images...

Like I said, I couldn't decide exactly what I wanted

to make, so I did many things and you can pick any

or all of them.  Again... you can click on them to 

get them to open to large images and save from that

screen, or you can click the 4SHARED link at the 

end and save them all from there....

This is a candy pouch, candy cane pouch or you

can use it for a silverware holder on your holiday

tablescape.

This is a notecard you can print and use

to send your Holiday Gratitude Letters

(that would be saying THANK YOU to

those that helped make your holiday

SPARKLE! ie:  gifts, love, help, etc)

These are the front and back covers for a special

recipe book you can put together to share your

favorite holiday recipes with family and friends.

Individual recipe card pages will be next with

some options on how you want to use them...

And also some stationery sheets:

and a small bonus:

If you have someone that is the 

"OFFICIAL CANDYCANE TESTER"

You can pin this to them...

One more thing that Paulette was generous

to share is the LOGO image that you can

also grab to use for your own creations.

ALL of these items are downloadable from

clicking on them to open in full size right here

or you can go here to get them all in one place:

Christmas FrosTea Topper

I love this set of elements that Paulette

is selling in her store.  The baggie will

hold a teabag or two, a plastic spoon, 

and a honeystick. I might even add a

small pkg of cookies like those 100

calorie bags by Nabisco I think it is.

and I couldn't decide which paper fill

I wanted to use or liked best, so you

can chose which one you like best for

yourself....

Merry Christmas,

RhondaSue

creating for Halloween.  I love the

Halloween, I much prefer the bright

fun elements and not the creepy or

gory ones.  So Paulette has lots of

great elements to play with!

Long Time No See

HELLO TO EVERYONE!

I am unsure where to even begin with an update.

I have been well, just extremely busy!  There

has been little to no time for me to be creative

let alone keep up with my blog.  I do apologize

for the extended absence.  

My surgery went well.  I was back in the hospital

with a severe case of gastroenteritis.  Got over

that, but it took about 2 full months to get to the

point that I could function to any level of

decency.  Then the holidays came around.  I also

had to go out of town for 8 days to take care

of family business at Dad's house.  Our son was

home for most of the month of December to

celebrate Christmas and stand up in a wedding.

The wedding was for very close family friends.

Their son is 7 weeks older than our son and the

boys grew up together most of their childhood.

It was great to be included in the wedding

activities!  I was asked to help make center-

pieces for the tables at the reception as well as

favors for each place setting.  I made favors

for each place setting at the rehearsal dinner as

well.  It really was an honor to be able to help

and participate in all the events leading up to

and including the wedding.  Our 13 year old

daughter helped make a lot of the projects too.

She likes to be crafty with mom!  Our son

stood up as one of the groomsmen and he was

in his military uniform.  What a handsome

young man he has become!!  And the bride

and groom were simply gorgeous!  

December was a fantastic month full of blessings

and happiness!!

January came around with just as much

activities and to be honest as I sit here right now

can't even recall what everything has been...but

it has been NON-stop!

As far as my well-being...  I have lost a total

of 103 pounds since my highest weight was 

ever recorded.  And a total of 74 pounds

since my surgery date.  I feel fantastic!  I am

really eager for my knees to finally realize the

weight loss is supposed to make them feel

better and function better!  In the meantime, I

am still using my walker and not exercising like

I should be.  I pray for this to happen ASAP!

I have a lot of recipe pages to share and will

begin sharing them again ASAP!  I am going to

try to get into creating things again.  But it

really is difficult to make that time to sit on

the computer lately.  Hang in there with me and

things will start coming back together.

Thank you to everyone who has sent me

private notes and sent encouragement and love!

~~~It is all appreciated beyond belief!~~~

SMUGGLES,

RhondaSue
