Good Morning Stampers!
Hope you are all doing well and taking care of all you last minute gifts for Christmas. This is the last weekend before Christmas. Where did the time go? I wish I could say we are ready, but we aren't. This past week was very hectic in our home and my hubby and I took some time off to enjoy his company's Christmas Party. The food was delicious and we had a wonderful time spending some time just the two of us. We even got to enjoy some dancing time! That was fun! It was even more fun being out there dancing with some of my customers who work with my husband. I loved being able to spend some fun time with them and seeing each other outside of the studio doing something besides papercrafting. I love the friends I have made through this great business of mine. We have only been in New Mexico for a little over a year and I would have gone crazy if it weren't for our business and the opportunity to meet new and exciting people everyday.
Michael and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support of our business and for helping us to have a successful year. We are excited about what's to come in the new year and being able to serve you even better. Thank you for coming into our world and being a part of it. Our prayer is that you will have a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones as we celebrate the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ. May the New Year be full of God's greatest blessings and may we all go into a New Year with a positive outlook for each of our lives no matter what the circumstance. There is much to learn through whatever life throws our way and God is by our side holding us through it all. We are all struggling financially and in other areas but may we never forget that God will NEVER EVER forsake us. He loves each one of us and will provide for our every need. God bless each one of you!
I would also like to announce the winners of last week's contest. Lisa808 won the Rock Star Black Metal Sheets and Susan won the Red Barn Metal Sheets. Congratulations ladies! Please contact me so I can get your contact information.
I will be back on Monday to share with you a beautiful last minute family gift and to introduce you to my entire family (my 2 boys and girl). Don't miss this stunning project that you can create in 15 minutes.
Have a blessed, beautiful, and dazzling weekend!
Don't the two of you look wonderful all dressed up and posing pretty for your picture. What a pretty picture it is, thank you for sharing with us. Thank you also for bringing us wonderful projects throughout the year and I look forward to many more in the upcoming New Year. I wish you a very Blessed Christmas and the Best New Year Possible. I hope that it brings you Faith, prosperity, health, good fortune, good luck and much inspiration for your business. I hope that you and your family stay safe and protected and just love each other, spending time together. Thank you for a wonderful year.
