Christmas

Thank you Book Hoarder :)

Yesterday I got my stamp from my Secret Santa and I love it.  This is my 4th Peanuts stamp and it goes right with the Christmas postcard I made this year.  However, I am not sure what to do with it.  I would like to use it as a PT or event box but we rarely go to events/meet other boxers.  I also think it would be cool to plant them all as traditional boxes but there are only 2-3 active boxers here.  I will probably make some LTCs and think about it some more.

Speaking of my Christmas postcard, I dropped the last batch off at the post office this morning!  If you count the 10 that I send off for the tracker, I have mailed out more than 130 of these suckers.  Wow, more than I expected.  It seemed like every time I sat down to work on them another new address showed up.  So, if you haven't gotten one yet (and you think I have your addy) it could be in the batch I sent out today.

Lastly, we had a Christmas miracle over the weekend.  Someone other than me planted a letterbox in my city.  Woo hoo!  It was a store bought stamp but beggars can't be choosers right?  And they were serving cookies so that makes up for the stamp.

The box was planted at a church having a large creche (nativity) display.  The gym of the church was filled with all different ones.  Large, small, wood, glass, ceramic, from other countries, etc.  It was really cool.  Lil Ewok and I enjoyed the displays, cookies, and letterbox.  

 I hope everyone has a very awesome Christmas!

Daddy's Favorite Princess and I are participating in the LTC swap "Caupcakes!!"

DFP was very excited about this swap and carved her stamp right after it was posted and made her cards a few weeks later.  All of her cards are a little different because she used all sorts of glitter & sequins.  The background paper is also glittery.

I wasn't sure about what to do with my card and almost dropped from the tracker but stuck with it because of the princess.  I found the cherry paper first and then started looking for images of a cupcake with a cherry on top.

I stamped my image on cardstock and colored it in with watercolor pencils and went over it with a water brush pen thing.  I glued that to the cherry paper and then to the chocolate ;) paper.

We had fun making our cards and will be excited to see what the other participants make.
