So I’m slow getting started this week.  This cold has just drained me for the last couple of days.  Believe it or not I still have to clean up from the class I had right before we went out of town for Thanksgiving!  I had the class, ran a million errands, packed and we left town – all I did was put all the stuff in baskets and all in one room and today I moved it all back up to the craft room to put away.  I did spend time this morning finishing a Christmas Card in My Digital Studio.  I sent it off to print at Stampin’ Up! – I just printed a few so I could see what they look like before I print a bunch.  I hope it gets here soon so I can see it.  Here is a peek at the inside of the card:

For a card you get to create three pages – the front, then two insides – in my case the card folds at the top so it has a top and bottom inside page and this is the bottom one.  I can’t show the front yet because I entered it into a My Digital Studio contest and we won’t know the winners until the end of December (I think).  Although now that I created this one I may like it better – its so hard to decide – but it doesn’t matter because I can print them all as part of my card.  I even added pearls – it is one of the newest downloads available for My Digital Studio.

Speaking of My Digital Studio – TODAY is the LAST DAY to get it at 50% OFF – half-price!  Don’t miss out on this awesome deal.  It is part of the Online Spectacular – there are lots of other great things on sale so do it today before its too late – the link is below.  And you can still join my Stampin’ Up! team too – for $87.50 you get the full Starter Kit – this is the best try out being a demonstrator deal – you get from now through the end of March to try it out after that if you don’t want to stay a demonstrator – no problem – you keep everything from the starter kit – over $300 of product.  If I weren’t already a demonstrator I would do this pronto!

I don’t know what your weather is like but it is POURING down rain here – like you wouldn’t believe.  And I feel so bad for the UPS man – you might wonder why – well in our neighborhood this is the week that UPS starts delivering inside of our neighborhood using a golf cart and trailer.  I think it is a way for them to make better use of the trucks – so they fill the truck – it comes to our neighborhood and unloads into storage trailer – then they spend all day delivering on the golf cart while the truck goes and gets more packages.  Well today is not a good day to do that – the poor guys is getting soaked not to mention trying to keep all the packages dry.  I just saw him go up our street – he has a tarp covering the trailer with all the packages.  You may wonder if this means my packages are delayed – over the last few years I actually get things a day early when they do this!

It is time to start a new round of Monika’s Blog Bingo.  This is Round 7!  The group is full and all the cards were emailed out yesterday (Monday 11/29).  I am going to take a break from Bingo after this group is done so I am not taking any more names at this time.   I may play again in the future so I hope you will continue to visit my blog and leave comments.   See this POST for more details on how to play and the previous winners and the players for this round.

And now for today’s piece – Here is piece #1 –the gift box from Family Accessories stamp set (stamped in Pear Pizzazz).
