Pion Design - Christmas Notes

Hello Everyone!

Today I've put together this vintage Christmas card using all sorts of beautiful Pion Design collections. These papers are so versatile, any collection can be used for any occasion! I've used "To My Valentine", "The Witching Hour", "The Night Before Christmas", "Long Ago in Bethlehem", and "Christmas Wishes". It's like these papers were meant to be used together!



The striped ribbon is Canvas Corp Brands, the flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts, the wood leaf flourish is Southern Ridge Trading Company, and everything else is from my stash.

So my house is all decorated for Christmas! YAY!! We finally found a Christmas tree that fits our dining room space. We got 7 foot tall, slim, flocked tree and it is so beautiful! We've decorated in white, crystal and white gold. I couldn't get a shot of the whole tree, so I'm just going to share some close ups of a few of the decorations.









I couldn't possibly sleep tonight if I left this post wildlife-less, so here's a cutie patootie photo of my best bud Crazy Karen showing us that winning smile that I fell in love with!! OMG, how cute is she!


So as you can see, I decorate fairly early in the year. When do you put up your tree?

I think I made some of you nervous with my wildlife food list last post. Just want to clarify about squirrels and peanuts. By all means, throw some peanuts out to the squirrels. They love them so much, and as long as they are getting proper food from other sources, then they'll be fine. Many people have backyard squirrels that rely on the food set out for them as as their main food source, this is when it becomes a health issue for them. Just like kids and a bag of chips or a chocolate bar, it's ok for them have a some now and again, as long as it's not the only thing they eat. If your worried, toss in a few mixed nuts the odd time, they love those too!

Thank you to everyone who takes the time and money to feed the animals, you make my heart soar!

Hello Everyone! Today I am sharing a card for any occasion featuring  some gorgeous papers from  ScrapAndMe collection " Romantic Garden 2 ". I have also used some wood embellishment pieces from Scrapiniec. ScrapAndMe products:       Scrapiniec products:    *** Hello everyone. I would like you to meet George. The people who found George tried to do a good thing and raise him on their own. Unfortunately, poor nutrition has now left George underweight and underdeveloped. He's tiny and frail, but he sure doesn't know that! He's quite the monkey in my baby jungle gym, so I have high hopes he will grow and thrive to be a big healthy boy. George is one of the lucky ones, many of these babies don't survive the good intentions of their finders. I can't get angry with people who have such kindness in their hearts, but the biggest act of kindness you can show a baby wild animal is contact someone who knows how to look after them. If you ever need help, plea...

Hello Everyone! Today I am sharing this festive Christmas card featuring some stunning papers from the ScrapAndMe collection " Christmas Memories " and some gorgeous wood embellishments from Scrapiniec . ScrapAndMe products:          Scrapiniec products:    *** Yay, I finally got a little Christmas going on my patio! Anyone else got some pretty lights up yet? Last year for electricity, hoping to be solar for next year. Just some more experimenting with wood chews. I'll never buy another coloured one again. The dye was coming out and I ended up grabbing it away from him. Animal safe my ass, not unless you want your pet turning blue or orange! Lol. I've decided to make my own chew toys from now on.
