Happy New Year and Happy Crafting

Hello! So will you make to midnight this year? Will you watch the ball drop? I hope so. The last 3 or 4 years I have not made it to midnight. Sadly, I always wind up falling asleep on the couch watching a movie. Last year I let the girls camp out in the living room because they wanted to see the ball drop - they didn't make it either. I did wake up just after midnight and was able to call my parents and wish them a Happy New Year. My goal, this year, is to scrap until midnight in hopes to stay awake. Wish me luck!! lol I wish you all a very Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday. If you are traveling stay safe and enjoy. Staying home keep warm and cozy with loved ones.


I hope you make a Merry Mess!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Santa is on his way. Victoria and Emma were tracking Santa on Norad earlier and when the popup came up that Santa's next stop was Canada, Victoria looked at Emma and said, "that is close to us!" Off to bed they went. lol I hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas!

Only 5 More Sleeps

before Christmas arrives! Looking back at my last post, it was titled WOW It's December 2nd; where did the month go? I am so excited for Christmas. I love watching the kids open their gifts and spending time with family. I am done shopping for my girls and their presents are all wrapped - whew! Now to finish the adult family members. This is where I have a minor panic attack. I haven't bought my parents anything yet. I am heading out to shop at 8am before work then back out around 4:30 with my dad. Hopefully I can get all done by Wednesday. I hate wrapping presents on Christmas Eve. I just want to spend the night with Mark and the girls and have a nice dinner and movie night. I hope you all enjoy the last few days before Christmas!

WOW It's December 2nd!

I can't believe Thanksgiving has past and we are already into December. Kelly came to visit for Thanksgiving and is still here. She is staying until Dec. 5. Yay! We have been busy scrapping all week, challenging each other to try new things. Let's just say we haven't slept more than 3 hours each night. Tomorrow Emma will be 8 years old and we will be going to my mom's for dinner and cake. Saturday, we are having her friends over to craft and play, a few of them will be spending the night as well. Check back next week to see some birthday pics and projects I made during my scrapping time with Kelly.

Happy Thanksgiving
