I thought that this clean and simple card would send the message…
"I love you to the moon and back!!!"
It is happening and I am SUPER excited as my "peeps" are coming home one by one…tonight, my oldest son Will is coming home! He is the one that has lived in China and this will be his 1st Christmas home in 5 years now that he lives and works in Boston!
I think that I could shoot to the moon with excitement that my children will be home…I do not know about you…but I think the older I become – I appreciate and cherish the simple things and to me….
I have asked them one by one….what cookies do you want???….what dinnersdo want???…what do you want to do???…what do you not want to do???….it is strange as this is the 1st time that I am working full time so juggling everything is a balancing act but worth it!!!
Let's get to this fun as it is a SNEAK PEEK from the Occasions Catalog that YOU WILL LOVE!
- The card and envelope are from my favorites…the whisper white notecards and envelopes…a SUPER great deal for 20 cards & envelopes for just $5.95!
- The stamp set is from the NEW Occasions Catalog and I adore giving you a "sneak peek" – this stamp set is appropriately called "Love You To The Moon" (darn….wish I could show you the whole stamp set)
- The measurements of the card stock are…Whisper White – 4" X 2 1/2" and the Black is 4 1/4" X 2 3/4" and the Bermuda Bay is 4 3/8" X 2 7/8"! (This is a great and simple layout the always works out as a wwinner with just a simple change of the stamps!)
- The fun and festive fun came from the simple hearts that I punched out with from the Owl Builder Punch! It is amazing how many times I use this for just the "simple things"
- This whole card was created around the NEW designer Series Paper from the Occasions Catalog…called – Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper.…love all of the fun and festive prints!
- The Big Shot and the Envelope Liner Framelits made is a cinch….and a perfect finishing touch!
That's it….but the best part is my very own handwriting inside this card letting Will know how happy I am to have him home!!! I am so proud of him…I am happy that he is happy! He is a teacher at a Montessori School in Boston – the kids love him and call him "Mr. Will"!!!
I hope that this post is a nice "change up" from all of the holiday posts and I hope that this is a SUPER DUPER day for you….have fun….get lots accomplished….and remember the reason of the season!
Until tomorrow!

I share your excitement this holiday season. As mom’s we are both blessed to have our children with us. My oldest son is coming to spend the week with us and he hasn’t been home for 9 years.
