its beginning to look a lot like Christmas......


Especially with all the snow we've gotten lately!!

I must say that I am really over the whole holiday season stuff.  Frankly I think it starts too early every year and I just get burned out by the time its here.  Ah well, I have to change my view cause thats the only thing I can change!

I did get in a christmas spirit and made a couple last cards, they turned out pretty well if I do say so myself....... Since I think I am the only one who reads this blog, I guess I can say it!

Enjoy yourself wherever and what ever you may be doing!

inspiration, awe, and enabler alert!

I am a huge fan of Tim Holtz and love to check his blog on a regular basis.  The things he comes up with for projects are amazing, and his products are top notch.
I would love to be allowed into his studio for a  couple days, talk about classes with a master!
check it out!  Right now he is doing his 12 Tags of Christmas and every time I think one is the top of the mark, he comes up with something even more amazing.

Its the holiday season!

December craziness, the holidays, the shopping, the snow!!  Not to mention having our roof replaced - I feel sorry for the guys who have to be up there - my son needing his wisdom teeth out, tearing up the master bedroom of the house....... thank gawd my studio will remain intact and I will have somewhere to hide out!

I have been busy making holiday cards too.  I recently got the lace tree folder for the cuttlebug which makes the cards a snap.  That and my MS branch punch have been figuring prominently this year.

If you haven't already finished your christmas list, I'd like to suggest a product that I think should be on it.  Its called the Glue Glider.  I became aware of this tool through Sharon's blog which if you've never visited, is a "must see"!  I have coffee with her every morning.  Currently she is celebrating on her blog with some awesome blog candy, check that out if you have a minute!

Back to the Glue Glider........
I have been on the look out for an adhesive solution.  I love using 3M double sided tape, but was spending a small fortune buying the rolls.  I also really like the red liner tape, but again could never get enough tape for the money I was spending.  Then Sharon posted about the Glue Glider.  I had been considering getting the ATG gun, but they are expensive and as I understand they are cumbersome to re-load.  I decided to try the Glue Glider.  
From my research I found it would be inexpensive to purchase, easy to re-load and the cartridges come with plenty of tape 65 feet actually, for $6.75!  So I bought myself one.  I found the best price for me at Stampin Scrapin so I got the gun and two replacement cartridges.  When it arrived I was thrilled to find out that it is all I hoped it would be - lightweight, easy to use, great adhesive and won't take up much space on my table!  
I'll get off the soapbox now.  Check this out and see for yourself.
