While shopping at our local Trader Joe's my husband said- "you have to come around back". I kinda wanted to just get going, we had a lot to do. But I humored him and went to the back parking lot and there is the most gorgeous white draft horse being hooked to a festive white buggy.
A few moments later after petting this big guys nose and wishing I had an apple or a carrot, my husband whispers "look up". I look up and what to my wondering eyes should appear- Santa Claus!!!
I don't know about you, but there is something magical about being around Santa. You immediately become a kid again.
I am sure my dear husband is telling Santa all about the Martin Dreadnaught D-45 guitar he wants for Christmas.
But behind every great guy there is an even better woman. Santa is no different. Mrs. Claus who is usually behind the scenes baking cookies to keep the big guy-well big, got to get out to visit today.
Like any good wife, she isn't letting her man out in public until he is perfectly put together.
After getting my time with Santa- whispering that I really don't want a lot this year, just the new Altenew inks, he drove off to see all the good little boys and girls.
My cards today are in honor of the big guy himself!! I am entering them in the following challenges.
Just Us Girls, they are having "an anything goes" challenge.
Time out Challenges is having a "merry and Cheerful" challenge.
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge- "quick and easy cards".
Lastly Inkspirational is having a theme challenge and the theme is "naughty".
I want to end this Santa driven blog post with a scene from "Elf". This very funny scene is how I feel now."I know him! I know Santa and I know his wife!!"
Be sure to check out what all the designers for these various challenges have posted and be inspired to join in!!
