Christmas Cards 2013


I have been procrastinating putting together my Christmas Cards this year for no specific reason...just have. I think it's might have to do with the fact that I created my basic layouts a while ago and knew once I got going it wouldn't take me too long.

I decided on an ornament theme this year as my basic theme using various colours: black and white for an elegant look, 





turquoise and white and red and white for a fresh look, and deeper reds and greens for a more traditional look.  

I hope I have created something in this collection that will appeal to everyone.

 

The Black and White collection:

My Christmas Card production won't stop here...I am currently working on creating new designs of past favourites that include Christmas trees and reindeers.   I'll keep you posted.

Cheers and hugs.

Winter is coming

I'm not referring to Game of Thrones but the weather today and this past few weeks in Ajijic.  I have been here for three years now at this time of year and don't remember it being so cold.  The temps have been close to 10 degrees at night and down to as low as 15 with the wind chill during the day.
Today was sunny but the wind chilled me to the bones. I took a long hot shower, changed the linen on my bed and took my duvet out of the vinyl bag it's been resting in for the past few years. Thank goodness I had the foresight to bring one down from Canada.
All day long when I passed my bedroom I loved looking at my luxurious bed. Finally the chill took its toll and I could no longer resist the desire to crawl under the silky sheets and fluffy duvet. Ahhhh.

It's too early to sleep so I'll practice  my blog app then read.

Good night sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite. XO
