Its beginning to look a lot like.....

Christmas!

Only 21 days to go, so I thought I'd better make a new banner for the holidays and change up the colors.  This gorgeous photo was taken by xk8jag2000 at Flickr.

 

My friend Jessie sent this to me in an e-mail and thought it would be fun to post! Feel free to use :)

Now if only I could get in the mood to do some of my holiday shopping!

Still haven't made my wish list, but I am working on it! I have spent so much money on myself in the past few weeks with the Cricut, new computer and new vehicle, I almost feel guilty asking for anything else!
