75 cards from one Simply Scrappin' kit

Stampin' Up! sells these awesome Simply Scrappin' kits in order to assist you with your scrapbooking. With some assistance from SplitCoast Stampers, I made 75 cards from one kit. It took about 2 hours and I didn't do any stamping. I figure that I can leave the words off for now, and stamp what I need as I need the card.

As soon as I get some pictures of the cards, I will get them uploaded to the blog.

**OK, here are the pictures. My camera is not the best (neither are my eyes) but you get the idea! I will probably be offering this as a class in April. It would only let me upload 5 pics at a time, so I will start another post with more pics.**

Presents with Family

Christmas Eve was tons of fun at Bubba and Tata's house. We open all of our present on Christmas Eve at my parent's house and then Santa visits overnight and leaves presents in the stockings. Pretty good hook up, if you ask me.

We usually get together with DH's family the weekend after Christmas which is pure chaos, as well. The kids get to play with all of their cousins and second cousins and they all had a blast.

Opening Presents with Friends

My best friend (since 2nd grade!) and her daughter came over for the kids to exchange presents, and it was winter Crocs all around. The girls got pink and Crackers got red. They look like Santa shoes. I know that my winter Crocs are super warm and comfy, so the kids should all enjoy theirs!

Holy Cow!

I have fallen far behind in my blogging! December is a crazy month.

Tea had her preschool Christmas program on the 8th of the month. Here is some video:

I'll work on posting that later - sorry!

Tea also had her preschool Christmas party on the 22nd - Crackers went with us and the kids got to hear a story from Santa, decorate cookies and sit on Santa's lap. Those are the pictures in the beginning.

How Many of Me?

There are 0 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

I thought this was kind of fun. It says that there are 0 people in the US with my last name. Well, I know for a fact that isn't true. There are four of us in my house, alone! Plus, there's my MIL, BIL, SIL and niece. Sheesh

Stampin' Up! Open House 12-8-07

Here are the projects we are doing this weekend.

Christmas Decorating

We did all the decorating today. DH worked very hard on the lights outside and I did the little bit inside.

This is the first Christmas that both Tea and Crackers are excited and have a bit of a clue as to what is to come.

Crackers has rearranged the Nativity scene quite a few times and he's already undecorated the tree. We've only been done for about 1/2 hour!

If you look closely at the picture of the front porch, you can see Tea peeking out at me while I was taking the picture. Brrrrr, it is COLD today! The wind makes it worse, so I took quick snaps and came back in.

Enjoy your December!
