Wishing You Merry Christmas Happy Holly-Days! CFC #83 ~ We're Dashing Through The Holidays w/ 10-Minute Craft Dash #9

That's a Lotta Title!
And here, made especially for you, my online friend, is your Christmas card from me:



Just this once, I've put my card first, in case you only have a second . . .
It's made from really beautiful glossy card stock.  It looks quite like a decorated cake in real life and it's hard not to eat it with a spoon.
It took me eight minutes to make it, but only because I'm a little slow.  So I'm entering a challenge that is new to me, that I heard about through a challenge that's a favorite of mine.
That makes it a two-for-one challenge and you can't beat that when your rushing around doing ... oh, I can't fool you and pretend I'm rushing around.  The truth is I'm doing absolutely nothing but crafting in my Playhouse.  Soon we will leave to spend Christmas Eve eating and drinking and engaging in joviality at Mister's sister's and then the whole thing will be repeated on Christmas Day at the House of Twins.
So I have it made!  I'm the most blessed gurl in the wurld!

So, listen, both of these challenges are running extra trains so you have days and days left to play along.  I know you can find a spare ten minutes to join the fun!  Unless you are away at Aunt Edmar's and Uncle Flip's where you're having a different, but nevertheless, fun kind of fun!
~~~
Enjoy your holly-day!   No, seriously, enjoy your holly-day!!
As always, special thanks to all of you who have joined my little party as followers or subscribers and who consistently come by the Playhouse to visit and leave me love and support.  I appreciate you so much!
Mwah!  Merry Kissmas!!

Thank you so much for the beautiful card! I have snuck away from the company just to pass on a hello and to say that I hope you are happily creating new Christmas memories with your family and friends. We sure are here - love it (although it is -42C with the wind chill - brrrrr)
