CTMH - December SOTM Blog Hop with "Mad About You"

Hello and welcome to our Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! It's a circular hop, so whether you start with mine or arrive from Shannon Beck's blog "Cards From the Farm", you can visit all of our consultants by simply clicking on the link at the end of our posts.  (If you get lost along the way, please visit our SOTM Blog Hop List here.)  


Make yourself comfy and let's go blog hopping!  :-)  


This month's fabulous Stamp of the Month is "Mad About You", S1112. It's a collection of 14 adorable stamp images with love in mind: sayings such as "Mad About You" and "You're Sweet" are simply perfect for what I will do with this set!

Mad About You - S1112

I'm making a cute framed scrapbook page for my daughter's room to showcase a pic of her and her BFF. I'm also making a smaller sized photo frame for her to give to her BFF this Christmas, too.  :-)  AND... later this month, I'm making low-cost, economical treat bags for my child's classmates for Valentine's Day.  Yup, I know... STANDARD FARE, as someone said recently.  (Of course, I think mine are cute, though. LOL) 

 Please come back on December 2nd to see my first project I've created with "Mad About You"!!!!  :-)  

Sadly, this month we've been battling the "Mommy, I have a cast on and need your attention 24/7 so you can never craft at all..." blues that my child has had since the beginning of this month when she was casted. We had to stop gymnastics, dance, ice skating lessons and roller skating with friends, so that's ALOT of free time to fill up. Since my crafting IS my job, she wanted to do OTHER THINGS. So, we're learning how to crochet. Sigh. LOL Anyway, here's a pic of her cast - she has asked me NOT to post pics of her adorably dressed in SHORTS of all things, in the cold:

I'll be posting my artwork by Dec 2nd,
