" 8 Months till Christmas "

Welcome to our monthly hop today marks 8 months till Christmas. I know what your thinking we havn't even got past all the snow from this year but yes it is only 8 months till Christmas.

This post is going to be short and sweet as it is 9:47 and I was heading to bed and realized tomorrow (today) is the 25th. Got a huge head start on the cards but completely blew it with writing the post. 

So every month a group of us ladies get together to share our head start on Christmas cards that we have created based on a given theme for the month 

This month's theme is Animals (use at least 1 animal on your projects) I used owls for both. I love cute owls. Ever since I became a Brownie Leader and was named Night Owl I have come to love these cute little birds :) only the cute ones though i have a fondness for cutey things.

If you arrived here from Mary's blog you are in the right place if you want to start from the begining please head over to my great friend Shari's blog.
