Paper Princess Sunday Challenge and... I'M A TKD BLACK BELT!!!!

Hello everyone. It is Sunday and the paper Princesses have another challenge to show. This time we had to make a "side step card". I have never done one before and to my surprise it wasn't difficult at all. It had to be Christmas or winter oriented.  This is the last Christmas card that I made this season to give away. I will make more once my Christmas order arrives, but I'll use them next year, too late now!!!. I can say today that I'm ready for the holidays:

Decorations: check!
Tree: check!
Presents: check!
Organizations for the 24th and the 31st: check!
TAE KWON DO BLACK BELT TEST before the holidays: PRICELESS!!! CHECK, CHECK CHEK!!!

Sorry to interrupt my post with this Tae Kwon Do news, but it is a satisfaction that I've been training and waiting for three years, and to have reached this goal at "40" it is a double satisfaction for me. We are a Tae Kwon Do family. My oldest son is black belt, now me, and my second son is getting it next year. I'm very proud and I wanted to share it with my followers and people that visit my blog. Thanks for looking!!!. I promise my card post is after my pictures!!!
