On Greeting Cards and Such

Remember the other day when I told you the story of mailing Christmas cards, and how I ended up having a whole new set of cards I got from the clerk lady? Well, a new thought just occurred to me: What if the sole reason I got these New Year’s cards was because the lady wanted to make sure I wouldn’t be using cards with ribbons anymore? Well, even though that thought just crossed my mind, I’d like to think the best of people. I’ll rather continue to tell myself it was the goodness and kindness of the clerk lady that blessed me with a new set of greeting cards, and not her desire to avoid trouble next time I show up to send greetings. And in case you haven’t gotten any season’s greetings from me this year – here we go:

Merry Christmas, and a happy new year!

Journaling Café: Christmas Wishes

Published by Sula H.

One more week, and we will begin the Christmas 2012 celebrations! Can you believe another year has gone by so fast? Anyhow, since for Christmas a lot of people think about their wishes, their hopes and dreams, today’s journaling prompts will encourage you to reflect a little on your wishes (or the wishes of those you care for). And for starters, I have made a page of my own:

Font used in the journaling prompt above is DJB Squirrels in My Pants by Darcy Baldwin. Available at Sweetshoppe Designs.

Merry Chickmas – Or Why It's Better To Stay Away from Christmas Gift Exchanges

Published by Sula H.

Let’s talk a little about presents today. Particularly Christmas presents. They are the little tokens of love exchanged between people who care enough for one another to think it’s worth their time and money putting together something to give away in order to make someone else happy.

And presents are thought to be pleasant things. At least generally.

But not always.

In fact, I’ve learned to view presents with mixed feelings.

And I’ve learned that sometimes it’s smarter to not participate in activities like White Elephant (common gift exchanges among larger groups of people). And if you take a look at this chicken (with which one of my friends was kindly bestowed tonight during the foreign faculty Christmas party, and which is perfectly gifted to cry and wail and mutter and stutter long and loudly as soon as you press its belly), you may understand why!

So, Merry Chickmas, I’ll say to that!

December Daily 2012: Week 3 Recap

Published by Sula H.

It’s hard to fathom that Christmas is so close again already. I’ve had another week full of busy activities, and would like to share my latest on the current DD album:

All images above are linked (for credits and larger view).

If you are doing the December Daily, I hope your pages are coming together as well. That’s from me for this week. And don’t forget to pick up this week’s last part of my freebie kit “A Grateful Heart,” if you haven’t done so already.

Freebie Friday: A Grateful Heart, Part 5

Published by Sula H.

I’m so excited it’s Friday again, and I’m excited for three very good reasons!

Reason #1:
Today I’m sharing with you the last part of my first ever digital scrapbook kit “A Grateful Heart,” which means you guys are finally gonna be able to use the whole kit to scrap with.

Reason #2:
It’s Christmas season and the holidays are only a few more weeks away. And because Christmas is the season of sharing joy and happiness more abundantly, I thought I’d do my share and spread a little extra joy myself. So, I’ve activated the links to older freebie templates again (sorry, should’ve told you much earlier, because I did it weeks ago and simply forgot to tell you about it …). So, if you’ve liked some of my templates in the past and missed to pick them up – now’s your chance to do so.

Reason #3:
I’ve completed my next (Christmas themed) scrapbook kit, and I’m excited to share a first glance of it here today.

But first, here is the link for the last part of a Grateful Heart – the missing set of embellies.

Click image to download

If you’ve missed the older downloads, don’t worry, because they’ll still be available for download. Just click the tag “Freebies” below and you’ll be able to find the other parts.

When you snatch this kit, however, remember it’s for personal use only, and if you wish to share it, you can share the links to this (and the previous) posts.

And now onto even better tidings …
I’m happy to present to you … my Cozy Christmas kit.

It comes with 28 papers and over 70 elements, plus two alphas on a sheet. And the best of it, you get it for free when you come back in the next couple of weeks to pick up the various parts, which I’ll start sharing here. The first part will be available for download next week.

So, I hope you agree with me that Fridays are exciting days, especially when they have to do with Freebies! Now, I’ll leave you to scrap with the completed kit “A Grateful Heart,” and as always I wish you a happy Friday, and happy scrapping!
