My 'Cranberry' Necklace

I had a little time to make some jewelry

I love being on break and actually having time to be creative!

Home made peppermint bark and dipped pretzels...

I had never tried this before, but they are yummy! I'll be passing these out to my neighbors.

Christmas Cards!

 A friend posted some cards she made and inspired me to make some, too.
I didn't think I'd have time to make Christmas cards this year, but these were really fun & easy! The same pattern can create so many different looks. If I'd had more time & wasn't in a rush to make them & get them mailed, I'd have gotten more creative.  Well, there's always next year!

2011 is almost over & I haven't updated my blog since the year began??

Wow...what's wrong with me? Oh yea, I started nursing school and that takes up ALL my time! Ha! So, it was tough, but I did survive my first semester! Now...I have a MUCH needed break for Christmas and I have been enjoying my time making sweet treats, jewelry, and Christmas cards. :)
