'Tis the Season to be Jolly!

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la. 





Hello Sweet Sketch Wednesday, Followers!  This is Judi posting for you this week.
I love this time of the year when I begin to decorate for the Christmas Holiday.  Last weekend we put up our outdoor Christmas lights and began the decorating process on the inside.  It is so fun to transform our home into a winter wonderland with remembrances of the Birth of our Lord and Savior.
I hope you enjoy the upcoming weeks of Christmas and your family traditions and if you feel you don't have any traditions...create one this year!   By all means, enjoy your family and spend some special time together.

We have a fabulous new sponsor this week....

    Fabulous cards this week, Gals! I always love to see what you do with our sponsors images. Wendy, thanks so much for your sponsorship this week! I hope everyone is enjoying the spirit of Christmas. With five Thursdays in November it's almost like getting an extra week before December arrives. But I do know that the next four weeks will go very quickly. Enjoy!
    Hugs,
