I stamped all the stuff I could stamp, and then drew in the fireplace and rug. And tree skirt.
This Christmas card is for nephew Luke, who just recently received a stuffed animal raccoon for his birthday. He named it Ricky, and played with it the whole time I was there visiting him and his family. It's too cold to be outside so Ricky is toasting marshmallows inside his cozy home, where he has wrapped up a bunch of presents for his four favourite kids, and hung up stockings for them too! The letter weights (?) holding up the stockings are kind of hard to see. They are "L", "M", "M", and "A", and stand for "Luke", "Melody", "Michael", and "Autumn", my nephews and nieces!
