Hi all:
Yesterday was our Coffee Girl get-together. I dearly love to hang out with these four friends. I believe that it's because they have my best interests at heart. They listen to me whine, forgive my faults, bolster my spirits, and encourage me when I feel inadequate. We have our favorite places to eat (Moe's, Ruby Tuesday's, Wegmans, Olive Garden) and our favorite places to go (the beach, Sara's, craft stores) and our favorite things to do (shop, craft, eat, bake, and gab). We've created many memories together over the past few years and I, for one, hope it is just the beginning.
Most years, they are the ones creating fabulous Christmas cards and this year was no exception. Rita's was a stunning pattern of embossed white snowflakes on a dark blue background - one of my favorite combinations. Susan's was a thermal coffee cup - the Starbucks take-out kind - and the lid pulled out to reveal the sentiment. Extremely clever! I don't usually do handmade cards, but this year I gave it a whirl. Because I'm into the subway art, I decided to create a piece that highlighted who we are and what we do and like. I had also found the All Is Bright line from My Mind's Eye when three of us went on an excursion to Archiver's in November. So pretty and I was so anxious to play with it. So, the subway art and All Is Bright came together to form this:

It's one of my favorite pieces ever and I had fun putting it together. The girls seemed to enjoy getting them, which made all of the hard work worthwhile. Here's a close up...
Tons of fun and good times wrapped up in this little card.
Have a warm, wonderful, merry Christmas season!
