A Christmas To Remember

We had a wonderful Christmas!  Our Christmas Eve fondue dinner was wonderful, and it was so nice to be sitting in front of a fire in the fireplace, enjoying our tree's glittery lights and a good movie on the TV rather than being out in the messy night right outside our door!  And Christmas Day was wonderful, too.  Hubby and I slept a bit later than usual, got up and exchanged our gifts, then played a bit with our toys before getting ready to head to my Mom's house for our dinner.  My brother and both his sons were there, and as far as I heard, not one word of anger or fussing spewed forth, and that in itself was a Christmas miracle!

And the highlight of the day was my big gift from my hubby.  She's red, and I call her Rosie . . .

Excuse my grammar, but . . . 'Ain't she purty!'

Here she is opened up and in all her glory . . .

There were two cartridges in the box . . .

 . . . and he also gave me this one . . .

 . . . and I bought two as Christmas gifts to me from me!  One is here . . .

 . . . and here is the other one, ready to use . . .

I've been playing a bit, and here are my first few projects . . .

There's a kind of learning curve involved in making cards with the new toy.  I want to learn to merge my way of making cards with the new options that I have using the Cricut.   It's a whole new world of creating, and I'm excited about my card-making future!

I need to go do a few things around the house, so I'll talk to you later!  Blessings folks, Becky
