Twinkle Twinkle!

I did this layout for a challenge at The Moments One Little Word Challenge. You had to use the word Twinkle. I made the poinsettia from a design I stole from Pat Bishop. Thanks for looking!

Merry Christmas to All!!!

Thanks so much for all your support and the kind comments. I deeply appreciate the time you have taken out of your busy lives to visit my blog and look at my creations. Have a very Merry Christmas.

Twas the Night Before Christmas.....

is the program the first grade class at Harris Elementery schoool did for their holiday program. It was very cool as the children memorized their lines! The music was fantastic! I so enjoyed the evening! My photos are not great as we could not use a flash and the room was so full you could not get a good shot so I apologize for that!

The Wooden Ornaments

The next pages to my Christmas 2010 Journal is about the wooden Ornaments! Thanks for looking!

Holiday Memories!

I did another challenge for The Moments-this time the sketch challenge! My sweet neighbor Barb took these photos in her family room which she decorates like a photo studio. She caught this great photo of Bob & I with our grandchildren surrounded by gifts while sitting on the hearth. What a beautiful backdrop! Great photo if I say so myself!

Thanks so much for looking!

9-5 Dog!!!

This is layout of Bob and the dog next door-our 9-5 Dog! His owner works so we kind of keep an eye on him when she's not there! If it's extremely cold, or hot we bring him indoors at our house and take care of him until it's about time for her to come home!

I did this for a challenge over at The Moments! Thanks for looking!

Snowman Collection

I did this one for the Scrap your Scraps Challenge #2 over at the Moments! You were to make your own background paper by using rubons! This are photos of my Snowman collection. This is not all of them but some of the unusual ones. One is made from a bedpost. They are just fun! Thanks for looking!

Scrapping Survior Game

coming soon to The Moments !!!
Yes that's right!

SCRAPPING SURVIORS GAME

will begin on January 1, 2011. Here all the details:

On January 1, 2011 we will start a monthly challenge. If we have enough interest there will be 2 teams. Pat will pick a captain for each team. At the beginning of the month there will be a list posted with a point system that will be used to get your scores. For example there might be
5 pts for each button on your LO. I will allow you to add in any of the projects you do for the challenges. As long as they have items on them that is on the point system list.
The team with the most points will be the champions for that month. More details are available on the site.

If you are interested in this scrapping game sign up here! Sign- up will last until December 29, 2010. In order to play you will have to be a register member of The Moments. This will be fun & keep your creative juices flowing!!

The Nativity Set!

I actually have two posts today. I wanted them done separately-no special reason just thought they would be better that way. My Nativity set is very special to me. It may seem silly to others but the story of mine is a story I think about every year when I take it out of it's box. I wanted to include these kind of stories in my journal for my family to have so they understand why things are special to me.

Trimming the Tree!

The next page I have done for my journal of Christmas is the Manifesto which is page one of my journal. It mainly tells why I am journaling Christmas.

Then we have the fun part of trimming the tree! I normally dread trimming the tree but this year I was home alone, it was quiet and I could take, mine time and I actually enjoyed doing it! I love turning all the lights off and sitting quietly by the tree lights and thinking of Christmas' past

The Elf is Missing!!!!

As you can see the elf is missing! Yes Maggie was in a panic on Friday as the elf Merry Stinky never made it to their house yet! She just knew it was Aunt Kellie's fault! Why you ask? Aunt Kellie picked up Merry Stinky Thursday and carried her around the room! She was unaware that you DO NOT TOUCH THE ELF!!!! Maggie is sure that Merry Stinky will never be back!
Stay tuned for more!

Darth Vader is back!!!!

Darth Vader arrived at my home for Trick or Treat! Bobby was a wonderful Darth Vader and had so much fun doing his imitation of Darth Vader in his best Darth whisper!!!! Thanks for Looking!

The Reason for the Season

Here's a project I did for an Impromptu Challenge over at The Moments. You were to take a frame you already had, and do a temporary design to display in your home. I took a frame and applied vinyl to the glass, then cut the elelments for my picture with my sil and cuttlebug! Thanks for looking!

The Return of the Elf!!!

The return of the Elf!!! Yes on Thanksgiving Day the elf returned to spend the season with Maggie & Bobby! We were in the middle of dinner when Maggie spied the little guy in the kitchen window! Then after dinner we got the computer and went to The Elf on the Shelf.com and Maggie & Bobby played the games and checked out all the new things on the site! What fun. Here are the first 2 pages of my Journal Your Christmas Journal. am so used to doing 12 x12 layouts tthat this one had to be a 2 pager but I will learn to condense-I promise! LOL!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

My wish for you today is to spend a fabulous day with friends and family and to enjoy the special time you have with them. Please take time today to Count Your Blessings! Take some time to think about the special people who are no longer on this earth to spend time with, but remember the wonderful times you had with them.

I am going to start my Journal your Christmas and Gratitude journal today. This is my favorite holiday and I feel it is the perfect day top begin as a surprise visitor is coming for my grandchildren, and what better day to start writing about what I am thankful for.

Thanks for stopping and see you again soon!

A Thankful Heart is a Happy Heart

is the name of my Thankful Journal. I have only done the cover so far and will do the pages as I go about journaling what I am thankful for. I have never done a journal before and now I am working on two. I am also doing a journaling class Journal Your Christmas by Shimelle! I guess I have stories to tell! They are both going to be different. I will tell the stories of Christmas present and past in the Journal Your Christmas. I will try to count my blessings and write about what I am thankful for and why. I have challenged myself now!

Thanks for Looking!
