Nora I also received your cute card, very creative!
I recycled...my snowmen were cut from the dividers in Whitmans Sampler candy boxes. I was about to toss them in the trash, as my husband had finished his first box, but I wondered if I could peel the vellum type layer off, and it worked.

I have mine too. Very original... a few days ago I’d say he was melting..but looks like we’re gonna get some flurries and icing in Cen-Tex. Brrr.

What GREAT cards I've opened today. Thank you, thank you to Marilyn, Marlene, and Nora. My kitties have enjoyed them too as they have knocked them down twice, so maybe a new home in my home will be better! You ladies are fantastic :-)

Today I received 2 more wonderful cards.
Connie, thanks for your darling vintage stove card (complete with coffee brewing atop!)
What cute mittens inside and loved all the colorful confetti. Such a neat card to open
and liked all the detail on the stove.
Mary, thanks also for your super sweet gal sledding above the line of penguins. Your "Penguin
Zoo Days" reminded me of our trip to see the colorful "Zoo Lights" at Christmas in Tacoma
at their zoo. Night time darkness really helped show off all the colorful christmas light
shapes and decorations. Such a darling card and loved the embossed snowflake background.

Mary, Loved your card! I adore penguins!! Did you know they waddle because they have to almost stop to see because their eyes are so far apart. They cant focused when they are moving. We have a few at The Memphis Zoo.

Got your FUN Card.... Opened it on my bed with my cat helping... Let’s just say my cat is enjoying his Festive New Year coat of many little colors.
Laughed. And Laughed!!!!

Connie your stove is so unique and well cool even though I'm sure it's quite warm.
Mary, I wish I could come and visit the penguins. I too love them, come to think of it, who doesn't?
Linda, is that coffee, cocoa, or tea, I could take all three ;-)...love it
Deborah your cards are always so detailed, so beautiful!
Thank you, thank you all!

Rebecca I love trains, that is how I learned to count to 176. That seemed to be the number of cars on quite a few trains that passed through the country side, near our home when I was six. Beautiful just beautiful photo. Thank you.

Thanks Rebecca for the winter train card. I agree with you, it makes us want to look forward
to Spring. I love vintage trains and the wonderful memories they bring to mind.

My Dad used to work with New York Central RRvas a laborer. But we were a Railroad town, and I loved to watch the big “puffer bellies” .
Not the best for the environment, but a lovely childhood memory.

Connie, you and your husband should go on a train ride. My mother saved and saved, then bought four one way tickets from Snyder, Texas to LA. She had three sisters in LA. She packed a picnic cooler, so we ate sandwiches. But the morning before we arrived we had breakfast in the dining car. Awesome! Shake rattle and roll. I was 13, my sister was 11 and my brother was 10. We rode back to Texas with my aunt, uncle and vousin.
