"No Time Like the Present(s)"

Can you believe that tomorrow is the first day of 2012???    What a year 2011 has been!   For our family, our friends, and our church this has been a year of great blessings, but also great trials.   It's been a year of great joy, but also great pain.   I don't know what 2012 will bring, and honestly don't want to know, but I know whatever comes, the Lord will see us through!!!

Christmas was just last weekend.  So... why am I making Christmas cards?   Because it's "jingle belle" time!! 

jingle belles - "No time like the present(s)" use present image, or paper with presents, or even wrapping paper
Mojo Monday 221 - sketch (round or square)


It is hard to see but the gold on the dsp does shine

~Scrappy Cat stamp

Thanks for dropping by!!    I'll be back tomorrow with my blogiversary post!! :)

I notice that Stef commented about the paper looking like fabric. That is exactly what I was thinking. What a beautiful surprise to see that it is paper. The color scheme and layout is beautiful. Congratulations on your being selected this week.
