My older (by 1 yr, 2 mths) sister, Karen, died Sat morn 10/10/20. She lived in FL where the rest of my immediate family live. I'll be watching the funeral service live streamed due to not travelling because of Covid. I made cards & envelopes for Karen's husband, Karen's daughter & family, my brother & his wife, and my younger sister & her husband.

Cocoa Christmas Card

Using this stamp for first time that I rcvd free with an order.

I like hot chocolate/cocoa. I add mini marshmallows & whipped cream. I prefer to use hot choc that does not already have the mini marshmallows in it because I do not think they taste the same as ones you buy & add yourself. Not put a candy cane in hot choc before. I did buy some  I did buy some Pepperidge Farm Pirouette that are chocolate fudge flavored so perhaps I'll try a cup with one of them added.

PS Xmas Card #6 we wish you a Merry Christmas

While it rained outside this weekend I made a couple Clean & Simple CAS Christmas cards. The MISTI tool comes in handy for stamping to get the ink colors just right. Used Delicata Golden Glitz ink for this card for a sparkly gold Christmas tree look.
