Eden's Garden

Oh Dear!!!  Where did December go?  I see that I didn't post a blog post for most of the month of December!  So, first, my apologies!  I hope you didn't give up on me!!!!  Secondly, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas holidays with your loved ones!  I hope you didn't feel too stressed in your preparations and found time to enjoy the magic of the season!  I enjoyed receiving Christmas cards from many of you!  You are all so very creative - I so enjoyed opening and oohing and ahhing over each and everyone.  Lastly, I'm ready to begin creating non holiday cards and projects!  How about you?!

I have one week left of getting up early and putting in my 10 hours of working and I enter my next chapter of adulthood - retirement.  I'm hopeful for a very quiet last week and am so excited about what the next chapter brings.  Told my hubby today, I've got to get the Rec Center schedule to determine my first swimming class to join - lol!   

Realizing this is the last week of December, some beautiful products will be leaving us on January 3!  However, lots of beautiful new products will be available for us all January 4!  Today, I spent some time creating two pretty Friendship cards using some amazing products that will be retiring on January 3 - the lovely Eden's Garden collection.  Wow, the Ever Eden 12" x 12" Specialty DSP is so stunning with its gold foil accents.  The wreath die from the Eden Dies is so pretty with both cuts and embossing!  I had to cut one with Gold Foil and one with Soft Succulent card stock.  And the Garden Gems are so sparkly and provide the perfect glitz!   

The font of the Eden's Garden Cling Stamp set is striking with its simple cursive style with larger sized Capital Letters!  I had fun with this second version by adding some leftover Christmas Pinecone Die cuts from my favorite Evening Evergreen cardstock tucked under the smaller leaf die from the Eden Die set.  The combinations of the Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen with the gold foil are stunning!    

The Garden Gems, the Ever Eden Specialty DSP, and the Ever Eden Cotton Paper will only be available to order through January 3, 2022.  If you love this collection, please place your order for these products by January 3rd.  The Eden Garden's Cling Stamp set and the Eden Dies are in the new 2022 January - June Mini Catalog.  They will be available as a bundle with a 10% savings and earns you a free Sale-a-bration item!  So you can get the retiring paper and embellishments this week and get the stamp/dies later!

Sharing a photo of my two handsome sons on Christmas Day!  It was so good to have them together for this Christmas - I so missed them being together last Christmas.  

As we look at this last week of 2021, it is a perfect time for reviewing and looking back on our blessings for the year.  I was so blessed to stay healthy throughout the year!  I was blessed to enjoy my family all in one place again and lastly, to travel again while managing through the variations of this never ending pandemic.  My wish for you and yours is for a safe and happy 2022!     

Keep on Crafting!
