God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr
"Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But, if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything."
---Muhammad Ali

"We are driven to create at this deep wordless level of the soul because we are all fashioned in the image of a God who is an Artist." - Michael Card, Scribbling in the Sand.

WELCOME TO THE Make Up Your Own Holiday Blog Hop

 You should have arrived here from Kay Craig at 100 Things at http://kopperhead100.blogspot.com  If not check the list below to see where you got off track.

My Make up Holiday is Spoil your Pet Day, I've made up a check book cover for your enjoyment and I will be giving it away to one of my lucky posters.



The cover itself is clear and these are slipped into it.  Unfortunately, I couldn't get good pictures while it was in the cover.  I will have someone from work draw the name out of the hat on Tuesday and get this in the mail on Wednesday.

Oh and before I forget:
“Karelj is offering an over-all blog candy for those who are hopping along with us. She thought it would be fun to have some holiday-themed candy for this hop--but, of course, made-up holiday items were hard to come by! She decided to do a whole bunch of *regular* holiday themed stamps for you to enjoy. From Fiskars, there is an assorted holiday set; there's an alphabet from All Night Media, a set of 100 plus clear stamps and a storage case from Family Memories, and 5 sets of clear stamps from various dollar bins in big box stores. How to win them? Follow along the blog trail, leaving a comment on each and every blog. On Monday, Karelj will ask her  buddy Randy (random.org) to select a blog number (from the list), a day (Saturday is one, Sunday is two), and a comment number from that blog. Please make sure you have left a reliable way to contact you (email is best, in the safe format of **** at **** dot com ) so you can be notified by her personally. If you don't, she’ll have to select another winner.”

What a great card!!! I love these stamps

Ellen Jarvis said...

Awww, I'm sad that my holiday hop is over ... but immensely enjoyed all the talented ladies who participated.

As for Spoil Your Pet day, my two Bichons think that's EVERY DAY, much like children wonder why, if there's a Mother's Day and a Father's Day, how come there's no "Child's Day"?

Fondly,
