Happy 15th Birthday to my granddaughter, Jess (Jessalyn Simonis)!

What a wonderful Christmas gift that year!  A Christmas baby – so sweet!  We were so excited to drop everything when our son called and go meet Jessalyn (now known as Jess).

I’m counting down the years when Jess & I can get together in person.  You can see my story here.

We have connected via email this last year but it isn’t the same as sharing life and building memories together.  We are both finding our way with each other;  Jessalyn, when you read this – know that even though our emails are few and far between, I think of you EVERY day, and wonder how you are doing!!  Please keep in touch.

Love always,
Grandma Debbie

Merrry Christmas from My House to Yours!

In September, Dave & I did a waterfall tour in Marinette County, WI.  We saw 12 waterfalls in 2 days during our weekend camping trip.  I used a photo from that trip for the cards I created with the “Joy of Sharing” All-Inclusive Card Kit by Stampin’ Up!

Wishing you a joyful Christmas, although it probably looks different than Christmases past.  Travel restrictions will limit the family members that can get together in person this year.  But our gatherings don’t have to limit remembering the reason for the season.

Peace and blessings to you from my home to yours.
Deb

Here are a few more handcrafted Christmas cards that I’ve received from friends this year.  I did post some last week on my Deb’s Stampin’ Grounds Facebook page, but since I know some of my followers aren’t on Facebook, so I wanted to share some cards on my blog, too.

Be Merry!

Thanks for taking time to read my blog – I appreciate each of you for helping to make my business successful.  Enjoy the holidays, however you celebrate.  And, if you can get in some crafting time, all the better!

Happy Stamping!

The Year End Close-Out Event is still going on.  Some items have sold out but you can still find great deals on select products.  Don’t forget to stock up on Whisper White products.

“You may have heard that Whisper White cardstock has been discontinued due the the manufacturer shutting down unexpectedly. It’s a sad result of the times for us and the supplier. However, I am confident that the new Basic White cardstock that is coming soon will be great. If you want to order Whisper White you’ll want to order quickly as it is selling out quickly and limits of 2 have been placed on all packs of Whisper White cardstock, Envelopes, Notecards, etc.”
