Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus…..ready or not! And I am so not ready! Like, I don’t even have a tree up yet! Well, that is not exactly true….I have a tree up. A nice pre-lit tree…..until the resident puppy decided the lights were a perfect chew toy! This all happened even before decorations. No puppy was harmed, the tree is another story! I will definitely be looking for an after Christmas sale for a new tree. I am taking a break from the household madness to do a little crafting with a few of my favorite challenges!

I normally don’t really have any Santa images in my Christmas stash…I am normally all about the snowflakes. All I can say is some retail therapy this year has led to many poinsettia’s and a few Santa’s! Nothing like having a well rounded stamping stash!
