Almost over...

Can't believe that my month long vacation is almost over....kind of wish I didn't have to go back. But, it's only for a few weeks and then we're off again for Christmas! We've had a great time hanging out at home. Oh, and last night Dave and I went to see Billy Joel in concert!!! What an amazing concert!!!!!! More than 2 hours of just Billy....no opening act and no intermission!!!

Been working on a few cards and an altered binder clip for our Shaker Box DT Sponsor Kat Stamps (http://www.katstamps.com/) . She has some awesome clear stamps!!!! Go check them out!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
