CottageCutz Mountain Lodge at Christmas

The Celebration of the season is in full swing here!!!  But Mr. Grinch paid me a visit yesterday and is trying to put a damper on my festive spirit.  I have to fight off that Grinch and keep the spirit of love, light, and happiness in my heart no matter what ole Scrooge is throwing at me.  Your a mean one Mr. Grinch!!!!  
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote,
"Stink, stank, stunk"!

 Now that I have that off my chest, let me tell you about this card I made!  Don't you know that  somewhere in the U.S. there is a beautiful lodge just like this that you want to just get into your car and escape to!!!  In my imagination I have packed my "Kindle", a tote bag full of pretty yarn and an afghan pattern, and some warm comfortable clothes.  I'm going for a week-see you in a few days!!!!  lol

 Here is a scene created with the beautiful CottageCutz dies.  Santa is arriving at the Mountain Lodge to leave me a few presents under the tree for Christmas.  The deer in the forest are watching him arrive as the snow covered trees glisten with the new fallen snow.

 Here's the lodge decorated in all it's glory for the holiday season.  All the windows have little greener and berries and a pretty swag on the little porch overhang.  So welcoming, don't you think.  I just want to go right up to the door and open it.  I just know there is a warm fireplace with a roaring fire just waiting for me to sit in front of!

 Here is the sign by the road welcoming you to the Lodge.  There's a snowman there to greet you that was built by the guests this afternoon while they were waiting for those Chocolate Chip Cookies to be baked in the kitchen.  Let's just say there were a few snowballs tossed around during the making of the snowman as well.



This card is dear to me for so many reasons and I just adore it.  It's going to my Mom for Christmas.  She is having a really rough time with her COPD right now.  What a horrible disease that is.  She has been struggling with this for the last 10 years.  If she never got that disease, her quality of life would have been 100 fold better.

  Thank you for letting me share my Christmas dream with you.  I thank you so much for stopping by.  Hope your Christmas plans are coming along as schedule and that you are enjoying this time of the year with family and friends and making memories to held dear in your heart.  Happy Crafting.  See you soon!!!
