Then, this year, I found this really fun image at The Paper Shelter and knew I could use it for a joint Birthday/Christmas celebration. See how Mama Snow has both a birthday present and Christmas stocking for Little Snow Boy? Perfect! (I'll probably return to my separate cards and separate gifts for DIL but this year I couldn't resist!) :-D

Words to Craft By
I have a pre-scheduled post tomorrow for my QKR Stampede DT inspiration and then several which are already pre-scheduled for the week-long, annual, Christmas celebration at Catch the Bug. After that, it may be a bit hit-and-miss as I spend time with family and focus on the joy of holidays surrounded by them. If I seem to be MIA when it comes to visiting your blogs, my apologies, but my focus is more apt to be on family than friends through Christmas and the New Year. Once we get to January, I'm sure my return will mean all is back to the normal routine.
Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

This is so adorable! I love that sweet image and how you make a special celebration for her birthday. I know she'll love it!
Fun image with older snow person leaning over. Adorable. I share your concerns with people whose birthdays are near the holiday, how to give them the attention they deserve. Great card.
You are a fabulous MIL to make sure your DIL's birthday gets recognized separately! I too have a December birthday and remember years of getting a birthday/Christmas present from relatives. Now I have an amazing husband who makes sure I get a real birthday. Though I rarely get a birthday card from him, LOL. He could just pull one from my stash! And I think everyone will be understanding of bloggers being MIA in December. We're all spending less time online this time of year :-)
