It is so hard to believe that Christmas is so close! Wasn't I just handing out candy to trick-or-treaters? Didn't I just make pumpkin pies and roast a turkey? Time, like snow, is flying too fast!

I have had some camera issues - as in, the children had decided it would be fun to play photographers on Safari with Mama's camera - and as a result, there was one time-out, a bit of yelling, and one broken camera. If I hold the lens on just so, I can get a halfway decent photo... but if I lean over too much, the lens falls out and then there is more yelling...

I was able to take this picture of a layout I made for
Etsy. The stockings were pretty fun to make - I don't know if you can see it or not, but the red one on the left has a real jingle bell on the curly toe :) I had to get creative with my layering to fit the word "stockings" on the one 12x12 page, but was able to manage it. And let me tell you - so glad that I got back into stamping, because my ink in my printer is out, and I wanted to print "hanging the" on some cardstock... but luckily I have my little set of letter stamps, and stamped them out instead!
Speaking of stamping... If I can get my lens back on my camera today, I will take a picture of my card for the
"Once Upon a Wednesday" challenge at Pixie Cottage! I created the sketch for this challenge, and it is simple and sweet :)

Darling layout! I'm sorry to hear about your camera. I better go pry my camera out of my toddler's fingers!
Oh, I'm so sorry about your camera! Reminds me of the Horrid morning I came home and discovered my new puppy thought my camera was a chew toy:( I'm still sad over that one. I hope you are having a merry Christmas season at your house. Your layout is wonderful! Love the stockings! Twyla
