Noel

Hello there!  Gosh, we're just days away from Christmas.  Can you believe it?  The mad rush that began with Thanksgiving seemed to go by in a blink.

I'm hoping this card was picked up at the shop.  I love it and almost didn't part with it.  But the thought of a little extra jingle in my pocket cried out just a little louder.  ;-)

The sentiment and harlequin frame are from Inspired By Stamping, and I used an old page from a book picked up at a thrift store.  Thirty years ago, my dad used to buy old books from junk shops, and I thought he was crazy.  As I've gotten older, I realize he was ahead of his time and had a fantastic eye for antiques and vintage ephemera.  What did I know back then?  You think you know everything when you're young.  Ha!

Thanks for giving me some of your precious time today.
