CPS #197...


Happy Thursday! Wow can you believe that Christmas is only 9 days away? Yikes! I better get on the ball and figure out what I still need to check off my list of things to do. I have a few more cards to send out, presents to wrap and cookies to bake. Although this time of year can seem to be chaotic for most, I find it so enjoyable.

I love....... the new fallen snow that we have received here in NY, the Christmas lights that line the buildings downtown, the glittered ornaments in the village shops, nightly fires in the fireplace, Starbucks white mocha peppermint lattes, and shopping for the perfect gift for my loved ones.

I made this card for the latest Challenge #197 at Cards Positioning System.

Thanks for stopping by,

Brandi

Such a sweet card, Brandi! I bet it is beautiful up there with all that snow. I sure miss snow for Christmas. The south just doesn't feel very Chritmas-y to me. :)
