Christmas spirit

It is no secret that I love Christmas. I love everything about it. This year I love it even more because I only have 2 more gifts to buy. I already know what they are I was just trying to spread out the $. What makes being alomost done so great is that I can really focus on doing crafts with the children and just spending time together. Since I am feeling the Christmas spirit I have made a little gift box to help with the wrapping part of the gifts.

Flu!

Yep. Fun for the whole family. Ha. I finally feel like getting up off the couch after 6 days. To celebrate our family's return to health we took a scenic tour ending in a picnic. The weather was perfect and the company was even more so. Here are some pictures. I went through only about half but here are some favorites so far.

Another layout

I love how versatile Core'dinations cardstock is. The vintage line is so unique. I find I am not using as much patterned paper because of all the looks I can get with this cardstock. Here is a layout I just did. I love these pictures. They are from a year ago! They are some of my favorite pictures.

November kit from Art Freckles!

Holy cow! Can you say gorgeous! I can't wait for the Christmas season as it is. Now I will have a gorgeous kit to use to scrap those memories!

Where did the time go?

Seriously? I have no idea how time got away from me. We spent last weekend hanging out with friends. Lots os fun. Fall festival's and bbq's :) I haven't even had time to download my camera! I have been going through the house bit by bit. Getting rid of things we don't need or use. I am tired of clutter. Next is the little boys room.

Here is a layout I made using the October kit from 3 Scrappy Boys. I will share the rest after the newsletter goes out :)



This was the last kit with Heather N as the owner. The new owner (also a Heather) will start back up with kits in December. She has shared the lines she has coming and I am so excited to play with my favorite companies.

pumpkin patch fun

My poor husband was feeling like crud but the pumpkin patch is only open to the public on weekends and it closes next Saturday. We did not want to go on Halloween, so it was yesterday or not at all this year. So we went anyway. We had a great day. Not as expensive as we thought it would be. About $6.00 a person which included a 45 minute hayride and a pumpkin. We went at full sun so did not get as many pictures as we would have liked but still managed to get some good ones.






The cow with the muddy face cracked us up.


This one shows what a joker my hubby can be :)



Oh my! How did this happen! Too grown up for sure.
