December is almost over?

sad. December flew by and i have so much to update between scrappn and traditions that winter and Christmas brings....

tonight is Christmas eve and the month of December is almost over. we still have so many people to see and things todo before the New Year.

since we arrived in Des Moines on the 23rd, Wednesday we have played in the snow, shopped till we dropped, wrapped gifts, eaten cookies and yummies, gone to TWO scrapbook stores and just got home from Christmas eve church service. wow am i pooped.

December 1st

whoa, today was December 1st. i cannot believe it. and i am not ready for the busy schedule and festivities.

it was day two back to work and still sick as a dog. i am hoping to be recoving soon but if i do have a sick day coming up i wont be too sad since i haven't had too much time at home after my start of a new job.

matt tells me this am that because it was the 1st it ment he was going to wear his reindeer tie! haha too funny!

Also, i heard that today was the last day of "nice" weather. bummer.

all in the genes

i think it is so neat and special that my gram started a scrapbook when she was in her 20's and last time i was back in town i got some neat photos of her showing the book to me. my gram did a nice job is keeping the book classic and including all sorts of memorabilia.

first wkend of November

holiday weekend at archivers!!

i did it

i fianlly completed my first ali edwards page! yay!! here are a few photos of the process...

i am so proud of my self that i was able to master photoshop elements for at least the project

cards

some of my fall cards that are made out of photos taken around town and my pups. as well as a couple bd cards i made from the new sassafrass line of monster, soo cute. and the top card is a thank you for my parents.

making cards is something i usually dread but do enjoy making once i get around to it. i guess the park that i dont like is that i end up making so many bc they are so cute i have to make them for everyone in the family plus close friends. the fall dog and tree cards i probably made almost 30 of...

just a few things that i have worked on in the past couple weeks. i am super disapointed that i haven't done more but what can you do...

no time

sorry to the two of you that read my blog. i have accepted a new job and all the things that i use to do on a daily basis has now moved to weekends only. kinda sad. kinda real sad. so i am acutally suppose to be in bed by now but thought i should take a second to explain my lame self.

i am going to try and be better and update now that my first week is outta the way and i will try to get more on a schedule and function better during the week. since i am completely pooped i better get going to bed...it is 945. sad.
