Christmas a special day

Today we eat our Christmas Brunch with our children & grandchildren. There are items on the menu that are a must have. For my son George, it's quiche, and for my daughter, Mandy it's bubble bread. There are many other items on the menu and there is something for everybody.


But this time is much more than eating it's time to share the Christmas spirit with the family and reflect on how we have been so blessed.


I wish the best Christmas ever.

Merry Christmas

December 1 and winter is in the air of course in East Texas it will be warm again in a day or two but I love the crisp air and it puts me in the Christmas spirit. I'm a proud member of the First United Methodist Church, Rusk and the members have been given the pin saying "Merry Christmas" GOD with us""" One of my friends, is on a mission to put "Christ" back in Christmas.

So Merry Christmas to you.

Open House for the Autumn Winter 2010 CTMH



Really enjoyed my Open House yesterday---- lots of fun with lots of wonderful scrapbooking & cardmaking friends.

Here is one of the make & takes we did.....cute & easy. I do have to give credit to my upline, Joy McHargue who showed this techinque during our August Team Meeting.

Lots of interest in Studio J, plan to have a Studio J 101 Class next week. Will send out invitations and will post detail on my blog and http://judyfaye.myctmh.com/ so feel free to drop by.

This week I'm working on a stair step card using the CTMH October's Stamp of the Month "Share the Magic" for a swap I'm in.

It's been a busy summer, the grandkids are back in school so hopefully life will slow down a bit. LOL I've been working on displays for my Open House which is Sunday, September 12. A couple of ladies were at the barn yesterday & got a little sneck peck and tried thier best to get thier hands on the new Close To My Heart Idea Book that will be coming out September 1st. But to no avail.

I'm looking for 4-8 ladies to start a new scrapbook group. There are 2 pricing levels "Paper only, Please" $14.95 and "Workshop on the Go" $34.43. Contact me if you have any questions & please come to my Open House to see what new & wonderful items I have to share.

New & improved

I can't believe I didn't post not one thing on my blog in March. Could it be because of the "new & improved" UPgrade internet connection I have? Yes I believe so. With the words of "upgrade" I would think it would be better. Oh no, I was very, very wrong.

Have you ever heard the phrase "catch as catch can"? Will that's the kind of signal I now have.
