Cool Holiday projects, courtesy of Shelli

I apologize for being out of touch recently, but I've been home this week first taking care of a sick Serena and then dealing with the death of our beloved 18 year-old cat BatGirl. It's been a really rough time for our family as she was a very special part of our lives, and her loss struck everyone deeply.

So, to help bring a bit of Christmas cheer to a sad time, here's a video from Shelli Gardner (our CEO & Grand Poobah!) showing how to make some cool holiday crafts using the Big Shot and the Baskets & Blooms die, part of our 12 Days of Holidays special:

If you would like to view a close-up of these projects, feel free to visit Shelli's blog where she shows them in better detail!

And as a special favour to me, if you have any pets in your home, please give them some extra love from me today. A snuggle, a cuddle, a rub of a furry belly... just revel in your happiness and the blessing of their being in your life.

Happy stamping,

There are those who will say "But it was only a cat", but I know better. I'm a cat person and still remember the loss of our beloved pet. My sympathy to you all.

I really understand your loss. We lost our beautiful Muffin this past year after nearly 19 years. My children want us to get another cat but right now I just can't. I know how painful your loss is.

Sorry to hear about your loss Caroline! I am sure she is leaving quite a void in your family.
