Merry Christmas

Happy Saturday!

I hope you are all well, and enjoying your summer.

I cannot believe that July is practically over, 

and that school will be starting for the kiddies so soon.

I have been busy, as I have a new job.

I need to get a routine established--because, oh my!--this is rough.

LOL

But I like my job--I am working in a bakery again.

I had worked in a bakery many years ago, 

when my boys were toddlers, when we lived in 

Montreal. Best job I ever had --besides

being a mom, of course! :)

I still need to establish a balance, 

but it will come. 

A new challenge is starting over

on the Hiding In My Craft Room blog today.

HIMCR #261 - Freestyle with a Twist!

Anything goes except it must be Christmas in 

keeping with our Christmas in July theme!

The sponsor is A Day for Daisies!

The giveaway is $12 gift certificate to A Day for Daisies!

How awesome is that??!

The design team were given the option

to choose an image from A Day for Daisies.

It was a tad difficult--so many 

awesome choices!

But I choose the Candy Elf C--

and here is what I created:

I used papers from My Mind's Eye--older collections.
The elf was colored with Distress Ink markers.
The sentiment is from a printable I had collected
from my attempt at December Daily (yeah, did not go so well...lol)
The enamel dots are from my stash; Michael's, I believe.

That is all for me for now.

Busy day, as it is my only day off, and

I have so much to get done--

but not that much, as my clan has been

helping me so much!

 I am a lucky gal.

Until next time, mes amies!

Be safe. Get crafty!
