Some of you might have noticed that I have not answered much emails in the passed week. The reason is, we are way over our heads with packing, separating what we take with us and what we won't take. My head is spinning from the decisions and choices to make. It will take me a while to get back to you but I am keeping all emails that I have to reply to so when I get a chance between here and there I will reply as I always do.

Please, for those of you who have my home address do not send me any Christmas cards this year, I will not be here to receive them. I have had my craft items packed for about a week, I have not had any leisure time to make any this year. So I hope you can understand.

I have received quite a bit of your lovely cards, not to worry it's all in storage I have a folder for all of your shares, and as soon as I get enough time to post them I will. I strive to be organized and right now I am all but that. :)

So I hope you can visit this week. I will try and add more sheets for your enjoyment. If you have had requests for special sheets sent to me by email, 3 requests were made that I cannot deliver since I have not made any of those sheets for me to send to you. This time I can't help, sorry.

If you want to know more about my little adventure, come back regularly I might let you in on some of it. It is exciting!

Will write and share cards and sheets next week just not as regularly as I usually do it.

Hugs

Nicole :)

Wednesday's more ideas

Hi friends

Here we are mid-week! This is the busiest day of the week for me, I am happy I had a chance to prepare the blog ahead of time. Just to let you know I will be away for a few weeks at the beginning of December. I plan on adding cards when I can, so if you don't see your cards posted within 5 days, don't worry it is in the bank of shares. I will do what I can for shares as you know. Shortly around Christmas time everything should return to normal on the blog.

I am also preparing more sheets to share each day so when there is no cards to see there will be a sheet for as long as I have some extra ones to share. Thanks for understanding.

Maureen G. thanks :)

Hi Friends

I hope all is well with all of you. We are as I said a few blogs ago, in transit for a little bit, but I will try to leave a comment for you every day. I will also try and post a new sheet for you as well, so keep on coming back to get your new sheets.

For some of you who know me enough, they know I have a real fear of dentists. Well, in less than 6 days I have visited one dentist 4 times and an Orthondist twice. A crown, fillings, surgery, more fillings, I was numbed more times that I had meals in 6 days. It was a challenge to eat dinner everytime but I am proud to say I was a big girl and survived with pride what was dreaded by me in a bad way. They both were new Dentist and Orthondontist to me, so I was happy to have found such caring professionals to help me through this.

Thank you for visiting

So I will post a few cards for today and one more sheet to keep you busy.

Wednesday's beauties

Hi Friends

Yes I am back! I need a vacation from all the traveling <laughing> starting to feel a little old for that stuff hee hee. But hey! I am back a little slow and tired but I am giving you a little today so I don't overdo the good things. hee hee

I had a good time reading all the lovely comments and was thrilled to see I have 770 emails to sort out. I just don't see many cards though. So please ladies thanks for waiting for my return, you can start sending cards for this week, I will try and make a few new sheets that I have put aside for that. Imagine that just before we left on our trip my pen tablet quit on me this is the No1 tool I use to make sheets with. We had to run to the store and get me a new one. Oh I love the new one hee hee. So I should be able to make a few sheets for the rest of the week.

Here are just a few cards to get me going slowly after my coming back home. Nothing much to say about the trip other than it was mainly for business more than pleasure, but it was still fun.

Valerie H. Thank you for your beautiful cards, and I understand congratulations are in order. Congratulation for your teaching position for cardmaking at the Senior Center. Enjoy!

...............................................................................................................................................

Thanks for coming back over and over again. You see me happy and thrilled about it. So yes it is time to send cards. Just go easy LOL

Hi Friends

Thursday already! I certainly was busy all day yesterday so much so that at the end of the day I had little time to add as many cards as usual, so instead I will add more tomorrow. I hope your week was creative and coming here was inspirational for your Christmas card ideas.

Thank you for your nice comments everyon...I enjoyed them all

Janet R. thank you for sharing your beautiful cards the stitching is stunning matching every color of the image. Thanks :)

Jo Anne H. great looking cards, but I can't help laughing when I see the older lady card with the Birthday cake on fire.

...........................................................................................................................................

This beautiful card was left unidentified so I can't give it a name. If it is yours please let me know in an email and I will add your name to it. Sorry can't remember who sent it to me either. Blame it on a senior moment hee hee craftynikky@gmail.com

..........................................................................................................................................

I will add more cards tomorrow, I am getting ready to reply my emails, hang in there I can see all the cards in so you should hear from me today...Thanks for your patience :)

Mid-week already! How time flies when we are having fun hee hee. Well I am starting my physio today. I hope they will let me come home in one piece. I am sure they will fill out paperwork today and prepare some excercise for me to start next visit. I am sure it will go well, I am a little shy when it comes to exercise since my back is so much better now, yikes!

I must say once again all the cards are terrific! Thank you for sharing them ladies, amazing work from all of you and great ideas for Tis' The Season!

I hope the sheet I am sharing today is not a repeat. I had made about 10 new ones, the problem is, I can't find where I have saved them to. hee hee I will find them I just need time to search them on my computer. Not enough on my plate that shows me I am human too, oh darn, I have more cards to share for tomorrow, so make sure to come back. Thanks for visiting everyone.

Hi Friends

Here we are at the end of this week as I need some time to recover from our vacation hee hee. I ran out of time to post more cards today. But I wanted to have enough time to add a new sheet. I wanted to thank Lainne for sending me a multitude of images for Christmas. I sure will tap into this great selection of great images and 3D them for you.

I wish you all a great weekend. Come back on Monday for a bigger load of beautiful cards. I wanted to say that today's cards are all so lovely from the first to the last one.

Hi Friends

Here we are mid-week but I still have some great cards to share with you. I hope the Christmas cards sent to us lately will help give you some new ideas for your own cards. Time to start them if you have more than a dozen to make. I find that if I find a pattern I like I can twist the pattern around to make more cards out of it making them all look different. So it saves a lot of "what am I going to do next" I am guilty of that kind of thinking but have learned with time that I can pick 3 patterns, techniques and make about 6 cards of each and none of them will have the exact same look, stress free holiday cardmaking. If it is what you are after hee hee

Here are the beautiful cards you have shared with us:

........................................................................................................................................

Carol H.

........................................................................................................................................

Isabell

..............................................................................................................................................

Thank you for your participation in every possible way. I don't expect everyone to post comments daily, but if you are here and have a minute to share your thoughts, we are more than happy to read them, encouragement doesn't cost a thing! So heartwarming to all of us. I know that giving, sharing feels oh soooooooo good!
