This was sent off to a dear friend.

How are your holiday preparations proceeding? The offspring helped decorate the Christmas tree over the weekend. And I printed my wall calendars (3 – 2 for gifts, 1 for here). I still have not completed a holiday card – good thing I have lots of sentiments to choose from because HAPPY NEW YEAR is looking more and more appropriate!

Pink Pirouette, Real Red, Wild Wasabi (retired), ink – VersaFine Onyx Black, dies – Reverse Confetti (holly, berries), Simon Says Stamp (banner), embossing powder – Filigree Fine Art Powder clear.

Bavarian Themed Thinking of You Card

WOOT! I made this in under an hour yesterday morning!  Not saying the mojo stuck around after I got it put together, but I feel better.

So, context. Random, right? Nope. Offspring3 is back in Germany, although not in Bavaria for this trip. She has sent me photos of brezen (pretzels – YUM!), that is where the pretzels came in. The blue diamonds are on the Bavarian flag, so that seemed like the perfect backdrop.

Looking for a Bavarian flag image to post, I stumbled upon Sheldon & Amy demonstrating what I needed!

Offspring3 has already called dibs on this.

Guten tag!
