Such busy times!!!!

We seem to have soooo much going on these days. I've been in project heaven lately, I can't post here just yet what I've made because I have a sneaky suspicion the recipients are checking and and they just don't need to know yet LOL. Here is a layout I managed to squeek in :)


Here are some shower invitiations that I did (along with 4 other hands for assembly). We made 40 of these bad boys, I absolutely love how they came out.

Weekend Layout

My fingers have been itching to play with some paper and do some layouts for pictures I had printed. So this is what I came up with. More to follow but I had to do something.

A few Christmas Creations

I know it's over now but now I can finally share some of what I made this year :)

Here are some chocolate bars :)

Her is an iTunes folder I made

Hot chocolate packets.

These card tins were a labor of love!! I made five tins and all the cards to go inside. Over 80 cards at the end of the day, good thing I started in August. I really enjoyed this project though.

Happy New Year!!!!

I can't belive 2008 is done!!!! What a great year. We're looking forward to an even better 2009!!!!!

Grandma's Birthday

Well I'm a little late in posting but here it is. Grandma turned 99 years old on December 19. We had a quiet but I hope special celebration for her. We went out for dinner then back home for cake and presents. Here is our evening.

(It's as if Mikayla ate too much LOL I love the expression on her face) Grandma had a good helper!

What a special Christmas

We had a very special time. Mikayla didn't quite know what to think about Santa but she knows that he came and brought her a bunch of really neat stuff :) To pick her favorites she absolutely loves her "Mini Market", doctor set, boots, her crafty stuff, paint/marker set, and the spill the beans game, she loves the beans so much that she put them in her purse to bring with her everywhere she goes.

We met Santa!!!

Mikayla only hesitated for a moment before running into his arms.

The other day we chatting before going to bed and I was asking her if she wanted to go see Santa, she said yes.... here is our conversation:

Me: Will you sit on his lap

M: yes

Me: I told her this is what he will say to you (in a deep santa voice) Hello there little girl, what would you like for Christmas this year? Ho ho ho

M: (after laughing hysterically for a minute) she composed herself she said, I would like a blue candy cane.... No wait...... two blue candy canes.... and a lolipop

Me: (laughing) is that all you want?

M: um.... yes, that's it

The next night we were practicing again and she still wants 2 blue candy canes... and she told me that one is for her and the other for me, she was so sweet it made me cry that she was asking for something that was important to her, she wanted 2 so I could have one too... then she asked for the blue lollipop and then a red candy cane for her daddy.

We really had a good time meeting Santa though, she is still on cloud nine!!

Of course it's not complete without Grandma having a visit too. Santa asked her if she would like to sit on his lap too and she said "ohhhh no" it was sooo funny.
