Merry Monday: Christmas card - blue white with texture

Well, lots to do here.  Still a bit of cleaning up from the big dinner yesterday.  You know, take the extra leaves out of the table, put the extra chairs back in the basement. ... That sort of thing.  
I hope you are having a lovely day!  See you again soon.  I will have more Carmen's Miranda Christmas during December.  And new challenges for Lost Coast Designs and Vintage Stamping Challenge!!! 
Love ya,
Karen
