Wow! Hard to believe another Christmas is upon us! To quote a dear friend of mine…. “A Christmas like no other!” We are expected a terrible storm late Christmas Eve through Christmas Day. You would think living in the NE United States that it would be a snow storm; however, it is not. We are expected to get very heavy rain and severe wind. I expect that by Christmas morning there will be no power, no internet, no TV, etc. What else could I expect from 2020?!

I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you that I hope the holiday season brings you all many moments of joy and happiness. Whether you are sharing the love in person, by Zoom, FaceTime, etc. I hope that you are getting to share some time with those that you love. Everyone has had a very tough year. You have had to find a way to deal in your own way. I have learned that there is no right way, there is no wrong way, it is what you are comfortable with and capable of doing! I hope that you take this time to tell those that you love how much they mean to you as we all need to hear those words right now! Why don’t you take this time to create a handmade card, write a note, surprise someone with a quick call, etc. Although our year has not been what we all had hoped, I hope that the love that you feel for one another remains! I want to wish you ALL a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2021!

The projects that I want to share with you were created to be gift tags; however they double as tree ornaments! I featured the adorable Gnomes from the SU! August to January mini catalog. Get yours before they are gone! They were stamped on the wood slices using our Tuxedo Black Momento Ink and then colored with our Stampin’ Blends!
