That's Krafty Thursday #57


It's THAT time again!! Ready to play along in another That's Krafty Thursday challenge? Woo-hoo! I know yer just itchin' to get that Kraft Cardstock out aren't ya? Well, let's get to it and to start things off, here's some inspiration for ya! Woo-hoo!

This here's a little card I made for the Lil' Chick! I'm a little late with it but I don't think she'll mind. Have I told you how much I WUV my Lil' Chick? She's the BESTEST Lil' Chick in the whole wide world. I could not be more PROUD of her. Let me tell you what she did for Christmas. Well, my parents are getting older (aren't we all?) and my Mom has always been like the hub of our family wheel, but Christmas shopping is getting more difficult each year for her, so the Lil' Chick takes it upon herself to do ALL her shopping for her. Now, this is in addition to ALL her own Christmas shopping too. So, she goes around to ALL my family (and mind you it's pretty large) and asks each person what they wanted. She compiles the list and starts shopping. Then she takes my mother on a day outing and buys a few little items with her and they eat lunch together. Then she takes the items she bought that day, along with ALL the other stuff she already bought for everyone else, and labels each item so my Mom knows who they go to. She did the same thing for Christmas dinner. She coordinated the whole thing on who needed to bring what so my Mom wouldn't be overwhelmed with Christmas dinner. Now, it may not sound like it, but this was a HUGE undertaking. She worked on this from Thanksgiving forward and made sure she stayed within budget for each person too. I get all teary eyed just thinking about it, because I think that was just the sweetest thing to do. So I decided to make her a THANK YOU card from ALL OF US!

Ok-ok, enough proud Momma stories. Tee-hee! You hens ready to play along in my challenge? Come on, it's fun! Here's the RULES OF THE ROOST: Make a card and use Kraft colored card stock on it some where. That's it! Easy peasy! Submit your card below by February 1st at 7:00PM EST and I'll announce my TOP CHICK PICKS the following day on February 2nd. Just think, YOU could be the next KRAFTY CHICK! Ready, set, GO!!!!
