I'm still alive .....I've had the flu for a good week but I'm on the mend now. Christmas has come way too fast for me this year and I am very behind. There is still so much to do....so I may be MIA here and there.
The cards I have here are quick cards that I made in Oct for my Mother for her birthday. She loves to give out handmade Christmas cards...and since she is living in a home it seemed like a good gift. Trina (my daughter) and I joined forces to make her a # of cards. I will show a few more I made in the next while. 
This little dog...reminds me of my son's little dog Chewbacca....you can see his photo here
The quickest thing about these cards is that they are made from My Minds Eye Christmas Card Pack....(50 pre-folded cards - textured heavy - printed CS). Last year Trina and I both bought a box at Hobby Lobby 1/2 price. Couldn't beat that!..LOL. Now...did I get my Christmas cards made this year?...Nope!.....oh well.....maybe next year.
I also want to show you the Lovely card and goodies I received from Danielle - "Paper Inspirations by Danielle" Thank you so much Danielle!! Be sure to check out her blog....her work is Beautiful!!!
Well that's it for me for today.....Thank you so much for visiting!!.....I will try to get another post in before Xmas .....meanwhile...I hope everyone is enjoying the Festive Season!!
Happy Holidays Everyone!!

Hi Ila! First of all, I'm glad you're on the mend after coming down with the flu. It can be nasty at this time of year. How nice of you and Trina to make these lovely cards for your Mom. Her friends will enjoy these. And, that doggy card is so cute! It's not often you can find an image that reminds you of your pet, and in this case, your son's. Please take care and keep warm. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family, and all the best to you in the new year! Hugs, Cami
