Goodies for 2 special ladies!

On December 1st, I celebrated my 3  Month Blogaversary and gave away a small kind candy . . . Brenda, over at Sweet as a  Gumdrop, won it!  Congrats girl!!!  She received the "candy" in the mail yesterday.  Here's a look at the Christmas card I made her . . .

When you open the flap, a stamped image of Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus pops up! 

I'm still pinching myself over the Club Anya -On ICE Challenge win.  I'm so grateful and appreciative!  I wanted to show my appreciation by sending Kris, over at K-lusive Kreations, the actual card that she chose as the winning piece.  With it, I sent her a candy too.  LITERALLY, a CANDY!!!  See for yourself.

I thought it would be kinda cute to send this to Kris.  She entered a card challenge that had to incorporate a favorite treat of some sort.  Kris made a card casing "BIG HUNK".  Click {here} to see what she made.  I know she's gonna luv this treat!!! Who doesn't like candy?  Anyways people, enjoy your day and the weekend!  Any of you JOURNEYing to the malls for some Christmas shopping?  You know where I'll be!!! { smiling from ear to ear }

Whimsy Dahlia for a Little Girl . . .

Well, I suppose this is a continuation from my first post today.  Oh my goodness, I normally don't post twice in one day!  Anyway, remember the Christmas card I made as a donation to give to Teri?  I decided to make a little something for her!  Teri's {HEART} is so BIG!  She just gives off herself without asking for anything in return.  I actually wanted to wait to post this, but wanted to enter some challenges with it!  Sorry Teri for the not-so-surprise surprise :(

You wouldn't believe it if I told ya . . . I had the Zutter Bind-It-All under my bed for months and months.  I hadn't even opened the box until last night!  YIKES!  Dust collector!  Thought I'd give the binding thing a try.  What do you think?  I hope Teri enjoys Whimsy Dahlia . . . I almost didn't want to give her up, but I know she must go {boo-hoo . . . crying my eyes out!}

Ok, she's up for some challenges:

Christmas Card Exchange for a good cause!

Teri, over at big Ideas From A Little Girl, had a special offer for those that had visited her site and commented on a particular post.  She offered to send a sheet of this 3M craft paper in exchange for a Christmas card.  The card will be donated to the Women's Transitional Center (for women & children).  What a great idea!  We are so blessed to be able to see our family and spend time together . . . however, these women don't get to see their children everyday.  So, here's the one that I'm donating . . .

I took a closeup picture here & I hope you can see it.  Just got my Cuttlebug Embossing Winter Borders.  I had to try them out.

I used my circle scallop nesties for the inside of the card.  A message can be written there.

Whether the JOURNEY to transitioning is long or short for the women, may they have a special Christmas with their children & their family!
