Merry Christmas!

Good Morning Sistahs!

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!  I'm looking forward to a beautiful day of sharing laughter, joy and love with my family.  I of course want to share those very things with you too, because I consider you all to be family too.  So please wrap your arms around yourself, and give yourself a great big INKY HUG from me! *giggle

Now, on with the show!  Many of you have asked how my Nugget Tin Extravaganza went.  I'm happy to say that all 50 tins were successfully loaded and have "left the building!" *wink  I also have to let you know that I did not do it alone.  I had an elf (read here Darsana) come over and help me wrap about 35 tins worth of nuggets.  Because I am anal-retentive, er... OCD...er...particular, I HAD to have 3 of each Nugget variety in each tin, since well, the nuggets come in 4 varieties.  Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate w/Almond, Milk Chocolate w/Almond and Milk Chocolate w/Toffee and Almond (My Fave!) So she helped me go through each bag of Nuggets and pull out enough for each tin to have the correct amount of each Nugget.  (Yes, I am truly loved.) *giggle  

I actually ended up with about 5 different designer papers because I knew I would just get too darn bored of looking at the same paper while wrapping 600 nuggets.  Yes, sistahs, 600 nuggets.  Well, clearly you can see my need for variety.  I only managed to capture 2 of the 5 styles on camera, the rest flew out the door before I could grab a photo. 

This particular paper was my favorite to work with.  I just love the swirl of candy canes and this one just brought me joy.  

I also loved the blues of this paper:

I punched out two different snowflakes, the smaller one being Martha Stewart, the larger one was Fiskars. The Martha Stewart one was covered with Glossy Accents then dipped in Martha's chunky clear glitter, then the larger ones were covered with Glossy Accents and dipped in Martha's Mica Snow.  I wanted two different textures.  I found my snowflake inspiration from Amy Rysavy, who found hers from Anna Wight.  Both of these ladies made GORGEOUS snowflakes, but since I had to make 50 of 'em I figured simple was best.

Okay, I've talked your ear off enough!  More of my Holiday Goodies to come.

Merry Christmas and Happy Stampin',
