It's Ellie's first Christmas...and we are all so Excited!! It's going to be lots of fun!!...Filled with family, giggles and toothy smiles...LOL. As you can see in the photo....Ellie has 2 bottom teeth!!
I'm hoping to be updating this Blog more after the New Year. 
This is one of the cards published in the Fairy tale Spring Edition of Magnolia Ink. It has been a while since I made this card...but I will try to list what I can.Hello Everyone....
I'm going to be MIA for awhile....I am taking a well needed Blog Break. Nothing serious going on. Life is just going in a different direction for awhile. I have resigned from my Design Teams and want to Thank "Magnolia" for having me on their team. They have been Wonderful to me...and it has been a Great Experience to design for them.
I also want to Thank all of you for visiting my humble blog. Your wonderful comments and support these last few years have always given me a happy heart. I don't want to sound too dramatic here though as I may be back from time to time to update.
Take Care Everyone!! and Big Hugs to you all!!! Ila
