Holiday fun and mini project

Here are a few pictures of the favorite presents from Santa. Star Wars for him and a kitchen for her.



And the little princess really likes her Little People castle. She calls the princess her "girlie." It's only six days after Christmas and the prince is missing already.

I've been trying to clean out the office and my scrap closet. I'm a slob and it's just amazing how truly messy I can make everything. Well, I took a little time out from cleaning to make two micro-mini albums with these cute little Bazzill chip board tag packs I purchased when my favorite LSS went out of business. Just really fun little books about what the kids like and do right now. Blue for him since it's his favorite color and pink for her since she loves pink (and so do I).

Halloween Princess Layout for BPS Class

I'm taking May Flaum's Seasons class at BPS and wanted to share the Halloween Princess layout I did with the pre-class handout. I love May's style and she's such a fun and informative teacher. You should take the class! I love how my layout turned out! May's style is very different from what I normally do, so taking some of her classes has really helped me branch out. I love the results!

It's been a long time...

since I've blogged. I am a bad blogger. So I thought I'd show you what we created at our house. Last week, we made a Wilton gingerbread tree. It turned out pretty cute considering I can't work one of those fancy icing bags.

Apparently, though, I have to stick my tongue out to use a spatula for icing. Not sure why that is.

Some of us just liked the sugary icing.

Monday night is my daughter's gymnastics night. I snapped a few pictures. This one is my favorite.

By the way, have you tried the Gingersnap Latte at Starbucks? I had a card for a free one. It's yummy. Little bits of crystalized ginger. Mmmmm. I would have another. The nutrition information confirmed that I shouldn't have one on a regular basis, but it's better if you make it non-fat. Best thing about it is that for every(STARBUCKS)RED EXCLUSIVE beverage purchased, Starbucks will contribute five cents to the Global Fund to invest in AIDS programs in Africa. They offer three RED EXCLUSIVE beverages -- Peppermint Mocha Twist, Gingersnap Latte and Espresso Truffle.
