Merry Chritsmas Tree Tag! Non Traditional Colors. Last Chance to win Blog Candy!

I hope everyone is enjoying the last few days before Christmas is here! I still have some errands to run today. I just have not been on my A game and have had to make multiple trips, returns, mistakes, forgetfulness just to get where I am and that isn't far along! I make a list, then I loose it. Then I make another list, then forget to look at it! So I have a very strict list that I must follow because I am also working right up until the holiday! And I am sad to say I never did mail out any cards for my family. Maybe if I start working on cards now I can mail them all Valentines??


And I haven't forgotten!! I still need to draw 2 winners for my blog candy!! So you still have time to enter HERE and HERE!!

I squeezed in some time because I needed a gift tag, so it was a good reason to get in my room and and make something!


 Tree is from DoodleCharms Cricut Cartridge

Christmas Greetings! Sweet snowman and fun colors!
