Glitter/Ornament Day at school!

Good morning! Not alot of crafting time this week, but wanted to share some of the holiday things we've got going on!! This week at Ashleigh's school, they've had a Christmas themed day every day of the week. On Wednesday, it was glitter/ornament day. We wrapped her in ribbon, tied ribbon all through her ponytail and Keith found these really cool flashing necklaces. She had snowflakes flashing on her neck and Christmas lights on her waist. Was super cute!

Unfortuntely, I couldn't get the first pic to post right? Not sure what's happening, but you can get the idea!! Have a super fantastic day!!

And It Just Keeps Falling!!!!!!!!

***second post today, pls scroll down for more pics of my puppies!!***

It started snowing last night and it is STILL snowing here really good!! I took these first couple pics this morning. The second is showing the snow on the railing outside. There's alot and it's still coming down. The other is a pic of our pup, Buddy, and his gf over the fence, Maggie. She's a doll!! The other is our 2 dogs on our pool deck and you can get an idea just how deep this snow is already!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas from Buddy and Riley!

Are they not the CUTEST dogs ever?? LOL! Bud wasn't too happy at first as I was making him sit by the tree and he wanted to be with me. So once he was settled, I took another and he looks like he's smiling. Riley's just a happy camper too!! Bud LOVES this collar he has on, he goes and nudges it when he wants it on! It's too cute!!

Ashleigh's Gingerbread House!

I wanted to share some pics from one of our Christmas traditions. Every year we make a gingerbread house and this year was no exception! Ashleigh and I worked on it together and then I left most of the decorating to her. This was a really good kit. The icing actually sticks and turns hard!! So, here she is and I have to say, her fav show right now is Cake Boss and you should have seen her when she realized there was fondant in the kit! She was SUPER excited to get to play with it! Just like Buddy from Cake Boss!!! Have a great day all!

Gift Tags

Good morning and it's a snowy, cold and blowy one here today! The wind is crazy here. We're right by the lake, so we're getting MAJOR lake effect winds and it's super cold. Ashleigh came in from the bus stop last night in tears. It's awful. On a better note, I got to work on some tags last night. I wanted to keep them sweet and simple as they're for my young nieces, nephew and little daycare kids. So, seeing as they all LOVE Santa, I thought this was perfect. I did the Santa and then added white glittery stickles to his hair/beard etc and then used my ink to distress the tags and add some color. I think they're pretty cute!!! Hope everyone is warm and cozy and having a great day!

Good morning!!! So, here it is, another Sunday and time for another Lasting Memories challenge! This is our last challenge for 2010 as everyone is just WAY to busy!! It's almost time for me to look for a new DT. So be sure to check out the details at Lasting Memories if you're interested!! This weeks challenge is a fun and easy one. We're asking you to complete a layout with a winter theme. This is one I did a few years ago and I felt it deserved another look.

Project Tuesday - Pennant Banners!

Hello!! Guess what! It's time for another Project Tuesday! This one was pretty fun. We made "pennant banners" I was at a loss at first on what to do and then I decided to make a banner for my nephew with his name on it so he can hang it in his room. I hope he likes it!!! I just have to add some circle clips for hanging at the ends, but other than that, it's done! So, hop on over to Project Tuesday and join the fun!! We're looking for more people to join the DT there too, so check out the info while you're there!

LMCB # 18 - Inspirational Photo

Good morning! A snowy one here! Sorry we're a day late, but this week at Lasting Memories, we're challenging you to use this photo as your inspiration for your layout. I took this at our retreat a couple week's ago and just find it so relaxing and just a beautiful, soft photo.

For my layout this week, I have to admit, it's one from last year. I've been super busy and have not been near my craft room. I love this layout though and I feel it's inspired from the lights, colors...just the beauty of the photo as that's what I see in my 2 kiddo's. Christmas is my favourite time of the year, I just wish it was a little warmer!! So, come on over to Lasting Memories and show us what you find inspiring about the above photo. I'm off to get some stuff done and then I am setting up my table in front of the TV, maybe watching a Christmas movie and working on my Christmas cards. Enjoy your day!
