Hello-Hello
It's the 15th of the Month (December is just flying by this year!) and it's time for our monthly Duel between the Divas and Darlings. Our theme this month is "A Christmas Story". I absolutely fell in love with this month's kit that Kelly sent us! This Manger scene image from Inky-Antics is just too cute! (so cute, I actually ordered it about a week ago with a few other Inky Antics Stamps!
Christmas is always a special time of year for me, when my family and I celebrate the most important Birthday of all, the birth of baby Jesus. It's also a time for me to reflect on the many blessings in my life, including my family, faith, and health.
Friday, Mom, Dad and I went to see Trans Siberian Orchestra here in town. While it's not an annual tradition. (we try to go when they are here), this years' performance lifted our spirits, and truly put me into the Christmas mood. My hope is that everyone finds "something" to put them in this holiday spirit, whether it's a church service, a Christmas song on the radio, or volunteering with those in less need.
Thanks for stopping by today! Hugs ~ LJ
