Shelly's Images 12 Days of Christmas - Final Day and a Good-bye

Hi all! Well, it's the final day of The 12 Days of Christmas over at Shelly's images. Many of our games are still going on until Midnight tonight, so get your entries in! The DT had a Secret Santa exchange that included Christmas socks. We all have to post a pic wearing our new socks! I have to say, my Santa did a wonderful job and I love my socks! They are so warm and cozy.
She also sent me an awesome little package of gifts. Those Maltesers just melt in your mouth... I've never had a malted milk ball that I liked, let alone taste so good, lol! I was sharing them with my hubby, but ended up taking most of them back from him because they were so good! The mint cake was yummy too. I have been wanting one of the Quickie Glue pens for a long time, but just never bought it for myself and I love the other little extras too!

Thanks so much Santa!

I'm sad to say though, that this is my last official day with the Shelly's Images team. It has been such a wonderful ride with such a great group of women. Shelly and the rest of the girls feel like extended family and really have a great time behind the scenes. If it weren't for Shelly, I never would have applied to a design team and I'm so thankful for her encouragement. I'm so going to miss them all!

Shelly's Images 12 Days of Christmas


Hey all! This week begins our 12 days of Christmas Celebration and to kick it off, we have a two week challenge! The challenge is "There's No Business Like Snow Business" so we want to see snow. Once you've entered a project with a snow theme, you can enter as many additional "anything goes" projects as you want. Stop by the main blog for all the details and be sure to check it out each day for our ongoing celebration. The DT has also created some gorgeous projects.







This week, the DT used the new Snow Lady Set. She makes an absolutely adorable card! I used lots of stickles on this one. :) Thanks so much for dropping by!
