December Daily page 1

I am so sorry that I am just now getting this up. I really meant to get it up this morning!!!! I will try to do better, however it may actually be at night when I post every day b/c I will need daylight to take the picture and time to write and a week from tomorrow I join the working world of America! Yay me! I'm nervous, excited, sad....all emotions wrapped into one!

Anyway-enough with the boring stuff, I have yesterday DD entry. We were busy with seeing Santa-and just a reminder he was the WORST one EVER! We spent time with the in laws and then we had a light parade! This year sometime during the month I am planning to try to go back downtown and get some pics of the lights where the courthouse is all lit up.

Ok here are my pics:

p.s. I have the instax mini and I think I'm going to use it for a lot of my DD pics....its PERFECT for this kind of project! AND I've decided I like perfectly squared pics....is that weird? :) 

Have a happy day!

December 1st

HAPPY DECEMBER! I'm so excited the holiday season is upon us! It is my absolute FAVORITE time of the year! Stay tuned for some scrappy projects in the works..... :) Sorry it's been a BUSY week! I'm going back to work in a week and this whole past week was spent getting the job! :D In the meantime here are a few fun photos I've taken over the past day or so......

ps he was the WORST santa ever! Savannah was so upset he didn't ask her or let her tell him what she wanted! And he NEVER smiled the whole time we were there....blah! Oh well...

found this FAB tree at the community center and J man WOULD NOT cooperate for a picture! 

And I am in love with this photo! the end. 

Oh AND did you see THIS blogpost????? LORI W over on the Paper Issues Blog featured MY DECEMBER DAILY! I shrieked and yelped and almost fell off my chair when I logged on! (hahaha) I know I'm ridiculous but it was SUCH an honor! THANK YOU LORI! :D 

Ok, little one in the tub then off to bed...tomorrow morning will come early. 

Fall Fun Layouts

Good mornin to ya! I hope everyone had a great Monday after the long week before. I am personally already looking forward to the 2 week Christmas break ahead....although it's just a teaser for summer! LOL.  Anyway-I was not feeling well yesterday, but by the evening I was better so after supper and baths I got busy on a few layouts! I have some more fall photos I took of my girl the other day that I need to print and get scrapped before I tuck away my Willow Creek Kit from NoelMignon! There is still 1 or 2 left so you should grab you one of these beauties! If you need to see what all is in the kit you can check out Virginia's video here!

And here are my layouts:

My friend Sarah and I took this picture while on our church hayride. I wanted to document our friendship because she is such a blessing in my life and our friendship, I think, has blossomed over the past few months. I am so thankful she is in my life. 

This one is of my lil man! I had some pumpkins on the porch and I told him to sit down and he immediately said "cheese." I love this lil guy! wasn't the "photo op" I had planned but none the less with a 2 year old this is  what I get! 

Hope you enjoy! Have a Terrific Tuesday!

Day after the Holiday Week

It's Monday! Normally I really enjoy Monday's, not sure why but it's one of my favorite days of the week. Today, not so much....we were off almost all last week and I really enjoyed not setting my alarm, not having appointments, not having to be at school....you know the usual stuff.

Anyway, I'm stopping in to share a layout today.  I participated in the November sketch over at Noel Mignon found here.....come join us!!!! You still have time! Here is the sketch:

And here is my layout: 

These pictures are of my lil man at his Easter party at school last year. He is singing that annoying song that gets stuck in your head along with the motions....mcdonalds, mcdonalds, kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut! :D Hope you enjoy it! I LOVE sketches and Julie NEVER disappoints over on the message board! 

Happy Monday and Happy back to work week! 

Sunday

Happy Sunday! I hope you all are full of food and family memories that will forever stay in your hearts! We were all over the place and enjoyed lots of family time! So thankful!

I scrapped a layout this morning before church to participate in this challenge to scraplift a Garden Girl at Two Peas In a Bucket! I lifted Shannon Tidwell.....LOVE her stuff there! Hope you enjoy!

"Our Mini-Van fun"

Happy Thanksgiving Eve

Good morning! I hope this post finds you all in a festive spirit and a heart full of family and love wherever you are.

I know, I know...it's been almost 2 weeks since I last posted! I was doing soooo well and then BOOM...epic failure! Rest assured I am making up for it this morning with a PICTURE HEAVY BLOG POST!!!!! (consider yourself fore-warned)

This is my 3rd year to participate in a December Daily Album that was originated Ali Edwards here which is this years album :) I just LOVE her! I am so grateful to her for the inspiration. I am very big about making whatever I have work for the album. She is always saying to make it your own and make it work for you. So, that's what I do. I don't buy any fancy albums or kits....I just work with what's in my supplies. This year I have dug through my goodies and pulled out ANYTHING that I thought I MIGHT use......

My 31 bag full of papers, embellies, trimmer, adhesive, punches and sprays

This smaller one has my crop-a-dile, my markers and gellatos, ink pads, and extras :) These bags make me happy! 

I wanted everything easily accessible because when December arrives we are BUSY with activities at church, school and this year we've added basketball and I don't have time to do a lot of searching for stuff. I wanted to grab my bag and document. Plus, this year, which I tried to avoid but I cannot....we are going to be moving out of our house during the month so if this is all together I can still get a little creative time in at night :). 

Without further a-do here is my December Daily: (note it is only the foundation pages) 

for my cover I used a Heidi Swap chipboard file folder mini and covered it with paper :) 

The 24th has a "flap" attached *see below*

And I wanted to make a tree so I used some extra's from my pages to create this one :) Oh and I just covered the chipboard with Heidi Swapp Primrose Colorshine found here! (and as a side note apparently I forgot to take pics of days 8 and 9 but they are there!)

Everything I used to create this album, or almost everything I got out of Glad Tidings Kit that can be purchased on the 25th at Noel Mignon! She literally has THE BEST KITS EVER! When we were making cuts in our family budget I refused to give this up and am willing to sub at the school one day a month to pay for it! :D LOL.....she's awesome! I made this album for the whole month and I still have TONS left over....several pages I have not even touched yet!!!!!! 

So I hope you enjoy my album.....my pages are simple but it works for me b/c I write a lot and take a LOT of pictures in december.....so there's room for me to add more pages as I go....Love that! 

Have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving holiday!
