It's the Most (Wonderful) Time...

Yes, yes, it is indeed. The most wonderful time of the year, that is.

But it is also the most hectic.

The most expensive.

The most (stressful).

If we let it be.

Today I am finishing up making some of these:


So my friends and family will know how much I truly care for them this holiday season. The sending and receiving of Christmas cards is one of my favorite traditions, and although it adds to the stress of the season, I love making my cards handmade.

With Dean Martin and Trans-Siberian Orchestra music in the background, Gabe and his sticker collection at my side, I will be having a stress-free and spirit-filled day.

While you're busy in the hustle and bustle of today, would you please lift Kori from Life as a CFers Wife up in prayer? Her husband, Richard, is going in for scans and tests today, and they are desperately in need of some good news in that department.

Have a blessed day today. I'm going to, no matter what comes my way.

You know what's coming your way? That's ME, baby!!!! Well, not physically, of course...but phone calls count, too. Right?

Caroline and I are going to run errands--in the cold rain--we'd rather be with you and Gabe.

Wait, does he have pants on? Just askin'.

Wow that is a beautiful card. So do I get one....I am sending you one, no guilt just a request. Hey let me know when your little brown package gets there. I am so surprised that it has not gotten to you yet. I hate snail mail for that reason. Enjoy when it comes.♥

I've already been by Kori's and wrapped her up in prayer. Love that you take the time to make the cards...I do take the time to address them.. that counts, right?

Suzann said...

Heather,
i want to come play at your house!!! Can I? Can I?
I've got lots of toys, but I'm not good at making the cards. I'll bring some great music and I'll make you some candy cane cocoa.

Jen said...

Shannon said...
