Great Week!

I just enjoyed a great week with my little sister and nephew. They came down from Chicago to visit. The kids enjoyed spending time with their auntie and cousin. Of course, I didn't do any crafty while she was here visiting. But I did do a few cards before she had arrived and just never got around to posting. Enjoy!

Here are two Christmas cards I did for the Christmas in July challenge over at SCS.
