Whole Lotta Beautiful Christmas RAKs!!

Hi Everybody!! I'm back from my blog vacation. It wasn't much of a vacation because a few days after I posted that I was on a blog vacation, I ended up with the flu. I'm so happy that I now feel soooooooooo much better. Unfortunately, I could not make all the projects I intended to send to friends and family. I feel really bad about it. I feel bad because many will not receive them until after Christmas. I still will make them but well. . it won't be a Christmas gift but more like a New Year's gift.

Here are a bunch of Christmas RAKs I received. I can't tell you how happy I am to receive them. While I was sick, they really brightened my day. Everyone is so sweet and I really appreciate that y'all thought of me this Christmas.

This beautiful card and knitted/crochet hot pad and dishcloths are from my lovely friend Joyce. Her card is so stunning. It's beautiful. Her knitted/crochet art work will be definitely put to good use. Looks like she put in a lot of work into her handmade gifts and I really appreciate her thoughtfulness. Thank you Joyce for sending me the beautiful handmade gifts. . .they really brightened my day!










This fabulous card is from Monika of M.A.D. Stamper! Monika's cards are beautiful on her blog site but in person, wow. . .it's much prettier. You can't see it but the image is glittery. I really love the embossed background. Thank you Monika for thinking of me this Christmas!!

I received this lovely card from Angel of Angelosity. Isn't it pretty? I really love the pink and green combo. . . if you haven't noticed that a lot of my cards use this color combo because it's my favorite. I love the circle tag that stands out on Angel's card. Very creative. Thank you Angel for the beautiful card.
