I love spending time with family.

My favorite thing about THIS Christmas is going to be spending it with my parents and having my children spend their first Christmas in their own home. My husband just retired from the USAF and we are back in our home state of Maine after being away since 1995! We are so happy to be here and looking forward to a lovely Christmas where we can give hugs instead of Skype and bake together instead of telling what we ate. I am also looking forward to going to our little church across the street from our house on Christmas Eve and celebrating with long time and new friends. This Christmas is going to be about longed for times being longed for no more. “Some day” is finally “now”! God is good.

I’m going to revisit each of these cards for more cards to make in the coming week.

For me, Christmas isn’t complete without my family. Apart from that, it’s always a good time of the year to think about charity and love and think about the mysteries and beauty of the Nativity. May the Lord bless you all and hope everyone is having a wonderful December so far.

You’re cards are amazing. I always envy how great you are at creating your backgrounds. My favorite thing to do during the holidays is spending time with family.

So many beautiful cards! You’ve inspired me so much with all of your cards. We always have pizza delivered on Christmas Eve. Christmas day is an open house for family and friends and food. This year will be extra special. Our first grandchild will be having her first Christmas. We’re all super excited for Christmas because of her.

My favorite thing to do is play outside in the snow, but now that I live in Virginia that’s unlikely to happen. But really, just relaxing, hanging out with the girls and not having to go somewhere is where it’s at right now!

Thank you for such a generous giveaway. My favorite thing during the holidays is to spend time with my family but they are so far away across the ocean I try and make the best of my time celebrating with my husband, son and church family!!

Amazing cards and great inspiration! My favorite holiday thing is the holiday open house tour in the historic district of my hometown.
Dec . 15 . 2017Nina
I love baking holiday goodies and decorating my house inside and out for the holidays.

I love everything about the Christmas season but my favorite is sleeping around the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. Our adult son still camps out with us! Merry Christmas!

Your cards are gorgeous as always May. I absolutely love them!! My favorite things to do with the holidays is making christmas diner for my parents and the next day having diner with my parents and my brother and his wife and exchancing gifts with each other. And listen to christmas songs all day long💖💖🎄 hope you have a lovely christmas and a happy new year. Thank you for all your gorgeous inspiration this year!

Wow, you’re awesome, what a great set of prices! I love all your cards but my favourite one is the last one in the line up, the really dark one, I love the gold on black with the holly! I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I like to go for a nice walk in the woods with my family and then come home and have nice cocoa drink. Reading a book and crafting is a good one to during the Holidays when I have time. I don’t like to sit all day and just eat though. Have fun!

You are one of my very favorite card makers!! I love extra time with my family and eating the cookies,
Dec . 15 . 2017Mary Holshouser
I love the Christmas tree with the little animals.
Dec . 15 . 2017The clock with Santa would be a wonderful
gift (or one to keep for myself). I look
forward to getting my Santa collection out
of storage and setting them around the house.
It’s almost like Christmas morning as I unpack
them – there are always some I’ve forgotten I
had. thanks for sharing all of your wonderful
cards. Merry Christmas.

I love decorating Christmas cookies with my kids … and of course sampling them as I go. 😊 We also like to drive around and look at all the pretty lights and decoration in the area.

Spending time with family especially the little ones.

Wow, so many gorgeous and fantastic cards!! Now that we have kids (ages 4 & 5), one of my favorite things to do around the holidays is to take them to see all the different lights & decorations. The local zoo and botanic gardens always have great displays, and they even just love seeing what’s around the neighborhoods. Their excitement is always contagious!

And my fav thing to do is to spend quality time with friends and families, plan short trips and have fun 😀
Dec . 15 . 2017Sharon Brand
These cards are awesome and have certainly given me inspiration.
Dec . 15 . 2017I love being with family, especially the grandchildren, either my house or theirs!
Karthikha Uday
