I'm so excited!!!!

I am a guest designer at Scrap-tures Kit Club for January!! I've received my kit and I have to admit I was very impressed with the contents and then the wheels started turning....looking forward to playing with my goodies tomorrow. This is the link to their site.

Blogging at midnight....

More December photos, these are a few of them that will make it into my December Daily Mini Album. I have no idea how I'm going to do this for the project 365....

Olivia and I went shopping tonight, all night, we got home late. We had fun....picked up these wonderful cushions for my new couch and love seat....I like them. A little on the white side compared to the tarnished look of the room but I'm sure they won't stay like that....

Josh opening up one of his advent calendar days. Lego is wonderful.

Christmas decorations in my house, I think I have 3 of them up plus the tree this year. Just didn't feel like all the clutter so they stayed in boxes and only a handful made it out.

The morning after the night before....LOL....what a stinkin mess! It's a little better now but not by much.

Baking! Too bad they are all gone and Christmas isn't even here yet....better get back in there.

All snug in MY bed! Rotten kids...LOL I love it they just snuggle right in.

We named our elf - Elfy - yes very original but it works. The kids love looking for the clever little guy in the morning....so do I on some mornings....LOL.

That's it for now! Michaels has some really good coupons right now! 50% off everyday this week....I've been there three times and it's only Monday! Picked up some yummy stuff to play with next week...can't wait!!

I guess I better update...

One layout this month....that's it....but it's not over yet!

Our Christmas tree...

A yummy treat! Can't have too many... :)

The lovely bird that wakes us up every morning buy flying into our window.....dispite the fact that we have a two foot plastic owl hanging in the window...LOL

Olivia opens a Tinkerbell toy at the Christmas party.

Josh looking for something....LOL

Olivia meets Tinkerbell....

It's getting closer!!

Christmas that is! I picked up an advent calendar for Josh when I was at Target, it is so very cool....it's a Lego Advent Calendar and he will open a window each day to a little pile of lego and assemble it, little things like a snowman and a Christmas tree....so fun. He did see it the other day and is very anxious to start but we have to wait until next Wednesday. In the photo it is difficult to see each of the perferated doors to the goods because of the scene, but they are there, all 24 of them.

The other day I was talking with Kim at the Memory Keeper and we were talking about advent calendars (the Karen Foster type) and one thing led to another and I learned Playmobile also had advent calendars. So off I go looking for one for Olivia so she can have the same type of thing as Josh. I found a Fairy Playmobile advent calendar for her, great price too. The calendar has a scene as well, I set it up in the photo to show you how wonderful it is, and each butterfly has the number to tell you what door to open.

So this year I will have to tuck their home made (Karen Foster) advent calendars away until next year so they can enjoy something different.

Busy time....

Seems like September just ended and I was wondering where it went....while I was thinking October went and now it's November...how did that happen? That's just crazy.

So much to do, so much I want to do and yet I only do what I have to....LOL...nothing extra. I did two layouts today, maybe I'll be able to create another tonight.

Right in the thick of Christmas shopping now, almost done then I can start on the stocking stuffers for the kids. At least I'm ahead of schedule for one task.

Eat your veggies....

Olivia certainly has no problem with this food group, wish she got that from me....LOL.

Yikes! Sept 30 was my last post?!

It's been a bit since my last post...thanks for the reminder mum!

I did very well at the fair this year, 9 ribbons and my halloween banner won the "special" award. It was fun but I think next year I'll start earlier....LOL

We went drove up the highway and found a farmer with this at the end of their driveway so everyone picked out their perfect pumpkin.

Here is a picture of Josh last Sunday, he saw the spread of desserts in the kitchen and said "boy this day keeps getting better and better!" LOL too funny!
