Texas Snowman
Today's entry for the Build Your Stash Holiday Cards Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party is this fun snowman. Believe it or not, some of the Texas Panhandle actually had temperatures below freezing early yesterday! In my neck of the Texas woods we see snow only about once ever dozen years so we spend most of our time dreaming of a White Christmas. The last one we had was in 2004!!

{BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025
Today is opening day for the {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party! I love this fabulous event! Not only does it give me the opportunity to build my stash of Christmas cards for this year, but also the generous sponsors of the event provide a truckload of wonderful prizes to be given out to participants. How awesome is that? Since I am currently working on Christmas card sets to donate for charity auctions in my community, the timing for me is absolutely perfect.
At the last event, I won one of the gift certificates from Unity! Therefore I am starting out the Falling for the Holidays event by posting a card which features a stunning Unity image. I hope you like it.
