Lots... and Lots...

and lots has been going on in my life... The end of the month craziness, my parent's continual need for assistance, the resumption of teaching classes, and thoughts of the holidays.  I guess you could say, my buzz word is "B-U-S-Y!"  No complaints, however, because I know I'm not alone... God is always at my side, and in one way or another, everyone I meet or talk to appears to be in the same boat... just navigating along a different stream...

At first I thought I could make one post and update everything, but that's pretty unrealistic -- I don't have a single block of time to do it, and you probably don't want to use a big chunk of your time reading it....Soooooooo, over the next few days, I will tackle each item on the "busy list," and catch us up that way.

Today let's focus on the E.O.T.M. (end of the month) --
The smART website has been updated with lots of good stuff:  New specials, a Dina Kowal background tutorial, the addition of some great punches, the results of the smART Cookie Challenge #2 (~sniff, sniff, I think I smell a contest in the wind), and this card project:

In real life, I prefer to focus on Jesus being the "reason for the season," but let's face it, when anyone dons a Santa hat, something a little magical takes place...

Stamps: Message Mouse and Mini Messages #3  (specially priced)
Ink:  Black and clear embossed with Transcendence powder
Embellished With:  Dimensional glaze and Dazzle Dust

The other specials this month:
Buy 3, Then Choose One For Free
For every 3 stamps/sets you purchase this month, choose a fourth for free - Price of the free set may not exceed that of your least expensive purchased item.

Holiday Gift Certificate Special
Purchase a smART gift certificate for $25.00 or more by the 15th of the month, and I will personally "wrap" it in a handmade holiday card, include any message you wish, and mail it to the recipient of your choice -- no additional cost to you.

There!  Next time we'll take a look at the smART Cookie Challenge #2 results, and introduce that little contest...

Hi,
I happened upon Trish's blogs through some things that we had in common. The cardmaking caught my eye because we are getting ready for Christmas and I have a ministry you would be well equipped to help with. My husband is an Army soldier and has served 2 tours in Iraq. There are many soldiers coming back from war with debilitating injuries and would use some encouragement as well as their families. I have info. on where cards could be sent if you are interested.
All the best,
Heidi
