Did I make the list?


     What a day!  I came back from my wonderful vacation only to come down with a nasty cold.  I've been dragging around and coughing like a barking dog.  Didn't get a whole lot of housework done but what else is a girl to do when she's just sitting around but get crafty.  ☺
     Torico popped my elf card onto the Birdie Brown blog and gave me a fun little poke about using the images from the Santa set I kept saying I was trying to find time to play with.  I took her joke to heart and decided to use my down time to play with this super cute set.  
     For my card I've used two of the images (there are 7 images and 3 sentiments) and a sentiment from the set and colored Santa and the little girl with Copics.  Seems like she's having to ponder Santa's question a bit.  Don't we all!  LOL
     The sketch is an older one from Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge.  Love her sketches!
