Sharing the Love

Ok I know we haven't even finished December yet, but I couldn't help myself. I have been sick again since Christmas (sigh) and I had bought some February supplies and goodies before Christmas set in and while they arrived and got stashed with all the hustle and bustle of holiday activities, I found myself needing something to pick me up and take me away from all the boxes of tissues and bottles of pills.

Today is the first day for a bit that I haven't felt like being camped in front of the TV so I opted to give myself a little feel good time by playing with these new goodies and of course Love cards were on the agenda.

The Love die and sentiment stamp are from Papertrey Ink 

The little monster and sentiment were from Simon Says stamps along with the pp. The banner die was from Papertrey Ink and the small heart punch from Stampin Up. The small expoy heart was from MME.

The background die, sentiment and Love dies along with coordinating stamp are from Papertrey Ink. The arrow is from Recollections and the epoxy dots are from MME.

Christmas is Coming (or rather been here and gone)

My goal for today is to get caught up and hopefully complete my December Daily. I have been working on projects about Zack the past week that I kind of felt bad I was neglecting Marshall so devoted myself to at least make him one layout.

We took the kids to the mall for Christmas PJ photos, but alas Marshall was the only one who cooperated. Have to say he looked pretty cute in those pjs and that Santa hat. 

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Wishing all the best to you and your family for a warm, safe and Merry Christmas and for a very blessed New Year. Please enjoy some of my favorite Currier and Ives pictures.

More December Daily

So I don't know about you, but I am still playing DD catch up. I am almost there. I am finding it difficult to limit some of my photographs on a few of these double pages. If you are doing DD how are you managing? Am I the only one still trying to get this done?



Sweet Love - An altered canvas

If you remember from my post last Monday I had mentioned a second photo of my grandson that I really loved but was saving it to make and altered canvas for my dd..well here it is. I just love how affectionate he is towards her.

And ladies I am using some very very old Jenni Bowlin paper here. I actually bought a kit when she first opened her store/line to make some altered project for which I have totally forgotten what it was, but decided to put it better use here. Also using up some older Senic Route chipboard letters and since I was missing the "O" you know I had to use a heart.

The heart brad was from Making Memories and the rest are tid bits I either had lying around or are a bit newer. The letters Sweet and the red arrow were cut from the silhoutte. Thinking maybe I can sneak this in as a Christmas gift.

U Can't See Me

This was another picture taken during my trip with the grandkids to a tree farm. Zack is a bit shy but getting better. As people came onto the farm and near us he would drop and hide his face. I just thought he looked so cute scrunched up into a tiny ball thinking that if he did this people wouldn't see him. Daycare has helped him a lot and he is getting better meeting new people or if people come up close to him but he still likes to go into this defense mechanism every once in awhile.

December Daily Catch Up

Well thought I would finally get these up to share. I have more pages but didn't want to overload you. So far I have been able to keep up fairly well but alas my PL for my kitty has fallen behind a bit so I need to make an effort and work on those page for a bit.
