Pressies, I got some pressies :)

I thought I would start my post with the photo challenges.
Heidi Swapp's prompt is "decoration"
Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine's prompt is "ornament".
So I can use the same photo for both challenges :)

So I thought I would share with you an ornament I had made a few years ago.
I had made one for almost everyone I knew :)
I used alcohol ink for the red colour and cut some sticky shelf liner in my Cricut for the letter .
These are my favourite ornaments. I love how they turned out.






















Today I went for a run to the border.
I had a couple of parcels to pick up and one to mail away.
About 20 minutes into the drive the roads got bad.
We had quite a bit of snow yesterday, but I thought the highway would have been cleared by now….guess not. I couldn't even see where the lines on the highway were.
But I drove on.
On the way home, when we got to the border crossing, we were asked to pull over.
They do this every once in awhile, but I have never had to pull over.
Guess I looked like a bad ass today, lol.

I wasn't going to open my present until Christmas, but because the border officers had to open everything, I figured what the heck, I might as well check everything out.
I received these goodies from Pea :)
Thank you Phillane, I love the hot chocolate holder and the ornament, and the magazine, and the gorguss girl stamp…oh who am I kidding I love everything.
Thank you so much my friend :)

















Here is the card Phillane made me.
Isn't it adorable.
This image is so cute and beautifully coloured.

I hope you all had a creative Tuesday :)

  9. The ornament is gorgeous!

    That is funny that you got pulled over! We got yelled at coming into America once. But that was because we each filled out our own form (because we weren't married yet) but the guy said because we lived together, we could have filled out one. But I was scared!

    What a fun gift, I'm glad you got to open it early! I opened all of my school gifts early, even though I guess I technically should have waited!

  11. That's funny that the border patrol had to open your packages. Sadly I do not live close enough to the border to blame it on that when I really want to peek! LOL!
