Pion Design - Christmas Wish List

Hello Everyone!

Well, last card before Christmas for me. I guess I have to apologize once again for not being around to visit your lovely blogs. I had to take some unscheduled time off, so this is a scheduled post, but I will be back after Christmas and I will catch up with everyone then.

One last Christmas card using Pion Design "The Night Before Christmas" collection. I will be sad to pack this paper away!!

I really wanted to take some pics that were Christmassy for this post, but I didn't have time before I left, so I hope you will enjoy some snowy photos instead. For my landscape shot, this Christmas tree in the middle of nowhere!


For my bird shots today, a Starling, a female Cardinal, a Blue Jay and a Red Breasted Nuthatch eating out of my hand.



"If I just keep hopping, than maybe my feet won't get too cold!"



"I am waaaay too tiny for this crap!"


"OK, I'm coming all the way over to you. You better make it worth my while!"


"Oh, I'm so excited to finally meet you! I traveled for yards and yards to meet the peanut lady!"


My macro for today is this Christmas light covered in ice. Unfortunately my outdoor tree burned out, so the light is not lit. Oh well, next year!


For Christmas this year, all I ask for,  is that you keep this quote and photo in mind, as you stay snug and warm in your houses and feast on turkey and eggnog.

"Humans are not the only animals trying to survive each day." 
~ Anthony Douglas Williams ~


Sending out a huge thank you for another wonderful year of encouragement and support. You give me motivation, inspiration and a reason to continue, no matter what! I wish each and every one of you...

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
hugs, Pamellia :)

  9. In your hands those papers are exquisite Pamellia, you really have shown them off so beautifully and this card is stunning too. The rich, vibrant red embellishments are gorgeous. The Christmas tree is certainly very impressive with its boughs laden with snow... the birds are so pretty and I love the way the squirrels fluff their fur up against the cold..

    Merry Christmas Pamellia and I wish you all the very best for 2017! Hugs, Anne xx

  23. Pamellia, again I am amazed at your ability to make these already beautiful papers and make them into something so beautiful that I can no longer find adjectives to describe them! I'm just smitten with the snowy and corrugated layers, the gorgeous colors and your festive embellishments and laces! I truly could sit and stare all day!

    Your landscape photo takes my breath away--I think it's very Christmas-y--not every tree has to be decorated with bright ornaments and lights--this one is adorned with God's decorations. Even more beauty in that! (And they don't ever burn out!)

    Your wildlife shots are amazing, and of course, I love the words you have put in their mouths! Thank you for taking care of these creatures; your heart is big and caring! Merry Christmas to you, and thank you for your many blessings this year! Sending hugs!

    I wish you a very Marry Christmas and a happy New Year, my friend! Thank you for everything! Sending lots of love to you! Branka xx
