Christmas in July

Good morning and Happy Thursday.  I know so many people are experiencing very hot and dry weather.  I feel your pain.  Here in Texas we went through that the last 2 years.  This summer we are so blessed to be having rain and more rain!   I hate to complain about it though cause I don't want it to go away.  That said, I hope that you will soon get relief from the scorching temps.  Maybe this card will help you think cold!  Is it ever too early to start getting ready for Christmas?   I think not!  How about getting started on those Christmas cards.  You know you are always scrambling at the last minute trying to get them all signed and addressed!  With just a few tools, you can hand make your own cards this year.  Here is a card that I created for Bowdabra using my Mini Bowdabra Hair Tool and Ruler.
