Making Christmas happen

Good morning! 

Well, today is the day that we are going to find out if mom's drain tubes will be coming out and we are all so excited for that possibility. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she will be back home and unencumbered by the end of the week. :)
Getting her back home will be a big step to everything settling down and returning to normal, which I have to say I've been so ready for. Lately I've been really itching to create more than I have in quite awhile. It's a constant ache to get into my crafty room and just play with some of the new goodies that are totally inspiring me. It's a good feeling to have because to be honest I had lost my mojo for a time and wasn't sure when/if it would return. Now I can officially say that the desire is back and the ideas are churning, all I need now is the time. That and a clean crafty room, which is still not quite a reality. But when is it ever? LOL

In the meantime, I have this card that I made for the ATS previews at the beginning of the month and kinda sorta forgot to post here... oops! It features the new and super cute Santa Lula who has quickly become a new fave. She's a simple image that makes it easy to pair her up with a variety of different papers. This time I went with some fun Imaginisce papers because I really wanted to fussy cut that little Rudolph out to got with Lula. Yes, I've missed a lot of crafting time but I am anxious to dive into Christmas cards after working on this last release. :)

Alrighty, time for me to scoot... I'll let y'all know how things go as soon as I can.
Laters!
