A christmas break and a present ...




It came without ribbons!  It came without tags!  It came without packages, boxes or bags!"... Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before!  "Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store.  Maybe Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more!"  

Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

Lovelies, these days before christmas are so busy for me now, that i decided to take blog-break. But i will take time o visit each one of you. Thank you for such a great year of bloggy friendships and fun - you have made my each and every day nicer and brought so many smiles to my lips, even when times were tough. I'll be back with new ideas and a lot of exiting things lined up for you on the 7th. of January.

The cards above are my wishes for you and a little present They are my own design and you are free to print them for yourself or send them to friends and family if you wish to. If you use them on your blog, please link back to me.

Have a sparkly, delightful and cozy festive time with lots of LOVE -
see you son!

    Oh Martina, I was just thinking as I was looking at them how MUCH I WOULD LOVE TO PRINT THESE! They are simply divine, done up in your signature style with vibrant colors!

    I too feel like I need a blogging break. I wish you a good sense of accomplishment but most of all, rest. We have been working almost around the clock and if we don't say, "STOP!", we never will!

    BIGGEST HUGS TO YOU and the feelings are mutual! Anita

    Thanks, Martina for the cheer and the beautiful art. Lots of horrible sadness right now, so it's nice to take a break from heartache and see your kindness.
