alot like Christmas!!! :)))))))) Ok well not really but the stars and planets did align and I was able to start making xmas cards! And before I start showing you the cards I did, here is Bean and me at 26 weeks. I have begun to waddle a bit now going up and down the stairs. I have pleaded with DH to build me a slide or something so I can just slide down but it appears that will not be happening. And then the other night, I had just begun to get comfy in bed (1am in the morning) when my cell phone starts blazing. I ignore it but it keeps ringing so now I'm thinking 'OMG it must be an emergency!' so I roll out of bed, holding my tummy, waddle as fast as I could to the cellphone which was like a football field away, pick it up (and I'm all out of breath) and my sister goes "I'm bored. What are you doing?" Are you freaking kidding me? If only I could've reached into the phone and shake her!!!Ok so onwards to cards!!! :) I wanted to do a little matchy matchy trip set of mini cards and then I realized that I had the perfect stamp set for it. The Keep Cozy set which has the 3 snowmen on it. And the snowmen are a nice small size that fit the cards perfectly!
using the Keep Cozy stamp set
I even forced myself to pull out ye ol sewing machine and did some stitching. haha. I kept the colors kinda minimal and made use of the twine that's been gathering dust in the box. This little trio could be used as tags or I thought it would be cute as xmas place settings or hanging on the xmas tree. I'm giving this set to mom-in-law. I think she has a tendency to frame things that I give her but maybe she'll use these this year. haha.
Another project to show you tomorrow! In the meantime, keep on crafting my stamping friends! Hugs from Bean and me!
Today's question is: What is your favorite Christmas song?

Marie. You look so great... Bean is grown so much. Your cards are wonderful and I am glad that you show cased that set. It's one of the first I bought.
My all time Favorite Christmas song is: "WHITE CHRISTMAS" BY Bing Crosby. No matter where I am in the world for Christmas, that movie must be watched and that song must play on Christmas day... otherwise I just don't feel like it's Christmas.
Big Hugs to you...
Oh, my fave song is 'All I want for christmas is you' It totally cracks me up. There is a long story behing this song being hilarious that goes all the way back to my teen years and a fun girly weekend with that damn CD... on repeat!
You are looking totally radiant Marie, but are you sure there is only one bean in there and not two peas in a pod :) the little one has definitly had a growth spurt, lol!!
These are just so adorable. Love the photo of bump too... looking great.
Anything with jingles does it for me!
Ohhhh Marie, I think your sister would be owing you a HUGE favor after that... ha ha....
I just love little Bean, he/she's CUTE CUTE!!! Speaking of CUTE... Those little snowmen are the cutest, and your cards are adorable!!!
Now, my favorite Christmas song, would have to be "Silent Night" I don't know what it is about that song, but I LOVE IT!!!

You and bean are SOOOO adorable! Love the sister cell phone incident. Gotta love them. ;)
Your snowmen cards are so cute, frameable indeed. Omgosh, what song isn't just wonderful at Christmas time? "Do they know it's Christmas" by Band-Aid reminds me to be humble.
Marie, you are glowing.. beautiful! :)
For me .. i love all Christmas songs.. :) i love white Christmas, jingle bells, little drum bow, silent night, ** happy Christmas (war is over) from John Lennon ** this last one i think is my favorite one.. but then.. i would miss the others not hearing them.. :)

Oh my gosh you two look so cute...the cards are adorable I love the minimal colouring they look great....my favourite song for Christmas..hmmm ...not sure if Baby its cold outside counts as a Christmas song...but I love that..and if I need to go a bit more traditional then...Do you hear what I hear...Drummer boy is my least favourite and it makes me grumpy when I hear it..lol
You look great! My fav Xmas song is Do You Hear What I Hear. I'm also a big fan of O Holy Night & White Christmas.
Oh goodness, aren't you guys too cute! My fave christmas song is "Santa Baby".
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas, only a hippopotamus would do... I love that song! Shirley Temple was the best.
You are adorable!

White Christmas!!
You look wonderful Marie!
You cards turned out so cute.
My favourite christmas song is fairytale in new york by the pogues and 2 other favs are the waitresses with christmas wrapping and jona lewie can you stop the cavalry. Not your usual jolly christmas songs!
You are Bean are looking so cute!!!! I would have killed your sis too
Love the little snowmen. So stinkin cute!!! My favorite Christmas song is the Little Drummer Boy. I just love the rump-a-tum-tum. I know, I am a big dork, but I just love that song. I get all giddy when I hear it on the radio!!!! LOL
Marie, you are looking so FAB!!! Love your adorable cards, too!
My favorite Christmas song has to be Nat King Cole's The Christmas Song followed very closely by Silver Bells! :-)Traci
I'd have to say Silver Bells, but not really a Christmas music person. I love your snowmen cards. Getting a baby bump now! How exciting!
Snoopy's Christmas!
Love the matching set of cards. My favorite is Santa Baby, but I also love Adam Sandler's Hanukkah song.
Awwww you look so cute being pregnant. I love your Christmas cards using that adorable snowman. My favorite Christmas song is Mary Christmas Darling and Baby, it's coldoutside.
Looking great Marie!! The story of your sister's call totally reminds me of my dear friend Jim that ALWAYS calls me late at night when he knows I work super early. "Just seeing what's up". UGH!
Love your cute cards! The simple colors are very beautiful.
<3 Jenn
Aww...these are so darn cute! On my wish list! :0) My fave Christmas song is "Angels We Have Heard on High" all versions, gospel to pop. Now I think I'm off to pull out my Xmas boxes from the closet for Xmas music...it's not too early, is it?!
Marie you look fabulous!
And your cards are so cute! I am so glad you had some crafting time!
My favorite Christmas song... I don't know the name of it, but they sing at the end of the movie Elf.
Big and warm hugs to you and your precious Bean!
Oh you look beautiful Marie!! My favourite Christmas song is chestnuts roasting on an open fire!!
