Getting There

Happy Holidays!  Our Christmas decorations are all up. Our house looks so festive. I just need to finish up a few more things.....Christmas cookies, presents, Christmas cards.  Not much just a few...UGH!  Who am I kidding...I am so behind.  There just doesn't seem to be enough time.  Don't you just feel like you can use an extra week between now and Christmas?

We spent this past weekend celebrating a couple birthdays.  One was for my sister-in-law, L, she celebrated her 50th with a surprise party thrown by her husband, my brother-in-law.  L has always wanted a baby grand piano but could never afford it.  For this birthday her husband suggested instead of gifts to give her a donation for her piano.  When I heard that I knew I had the perfect card for her.

I received this piano and musical notes embellishment years ago in a scrapbook package and figured one day it would come to good use.  That time finally arrived.  I used my Cuttlebug to embellish the background and added the piano, notes, and final touch...some ribbon.

The next birthday celebrated was our good friend's mother, Mama M.  Mama M wanted to celebrate her birthday with family and friends at a sports bar watching our beloved Chicago Bears.  For her card I went cute.
