TGIF! I can't believe that it is 5 days until Christmas. I think I am already-checking my list, twice. Here is a fun little project for holding a card & a gift card I made for my TCD's dt blog post today. I used the TCD's Santa's list line and MFT's bow & tag dies. Merry Christmas!!!

Lulu is getting into the Christmas spirit! I couldn't resist wrapping this tinsel around her and taking a few photos. She tried to resist, but I had treats! After two snow days the girls will be back to school tomorrow, yay. We had tons of snow, snow that I had to shovel. It figures we would get TWO storms (in two days) while LaVaughn is away. I was hoping that all the work shoveling would boost my Fitbit steps, I worked up a dripping sweat-and felt cheated in the end! Here are a few photos from the past few days...
.[tis the season].
The Christmas decorations are done! I just need a TREE, which won't happened until next week. This year I am doing Advent with the girls, and they are loving it! I still have a few more boxes to make, like 12 more. I am having trouble finding the sizes I want, argh. Last night I made the NOEL garland-I used some glitter spray paint, that stuff is awesome! I am going to hunt down more stuff to spray this weekend. Not that I need more decorations!

Today-I have these Christmas cards on the MFT's Blog. Once I started making one Christmas card I really got into the holiday cheer and made quite a few! It was nice playing with the chalkboard look-I thought I didn't have the right stuff on-hand...so I used white embossing powder and some really old Pebbles chalking set-viola! I was so happy that I didn't need to buy stuff to do the chalkboard look!

Today-I have a more Christmas cards featured on the MFT's blog. I have to say that I really loved using the tags die-the pierced border detail really makes the tag for me! I will be using that on a regular basis for so many other projects. After making so many Christmas cards I am now in holiday project making mode! I finally dabbled with making the chalkboard look on some cards & tags(I'll share that next week).
Have a great weekend...

Today these cards are posted on the My Favorite Things blog! OMG, I am so into their new Christmas stamps & dies. All last week & even over the past few days I have been making Christmas cards. I want to make more Halloween stuff, but I am obsessed with using these stamps! My studio has been a complete MESS and I had to clean it last night-stamps, papers, and dies everywhere. Plus, the mess gave me a reason to use my new vacuum!

Jan, I do too, they pop together! Thanks.
Hello Icing...Thanks, that embossing folder is by Lifestyles Crafts.
[santa's nice list]
We were all on Santa's nice list! We received the things we wanted & then some. Even Lulu was happy to see her stocking filled with the things she loves most(new collar & name tag)-and she loves a good b.o.n.e. Each one of us has cool new boots to sport-mine are so comfy! LaVaughn wore his all day in his pj's-it was a sight to see:-O. Lots of new clothes, iphones, ipod, and some beats. I loved spending Christmas morning with my family-in a mess...
[Christmas Eve]
It SNOWED!! I was so happy to be able to get photos of the girls & Lulu as the snow came down. In the end we had a couple of inches-not slick enough for the girls to slide down the hill in back(and they tried). We spent the evening with friends having Chinese food & games...and enjoying the fire.
[roller skating]
Whoa, it has been a LONGtime since I have been skating at a roller rink. I grown up at a local roller rink in Detroit-every Saturday night! It's nice to know we have a local rink here...I took the girls skating and I had to join in-I worked up a sweat. The girls were a bit shocked to see that I could even skate backwards. ha!!
[lunch date]
Mummm, Mexican food delights my soul! Sometimes LaVaughn & I like to sneak off on lunch dates-minus the girls. He wasn't happy about me taking pictures, I am not the one who has to live with the goofy faces shown on my blog-so ha!
[lulu, my model]
See how much she loves to have her picture taken(as long as I have a treat to dangle in front of her).
[Christmas 2012]
I will be trying to get the last of my Christmas photos in before I have to pack all the decorations away.
Have a Happy & safe New Year!!!!
[Q & A]

I did these yesterday, it was nice to have a couple of ideas pop in my head! The card & tag with the red I did with Teresa Collins Design's Christmas Cottage line/stamps.
[christmas projects]
I am just realizing that I have yet to do any Christmas projects-and it's 12 or so days left until Christmas. Since I was home all day I spent a few hours in my studio making a few quick little projects. I hope to whip up a few more things over the weekend, I must also get some cookies made-time is just getting away from me!
[Q&A]
Shay, my love...you all must hurry back to the states! I can't imagine having such a warm Christmas, and I don't think I would complain(not that you are). Miss ya & Merry Christmas!!
[the story]
The Saturday after Black Friday LaVaughn and I went tree shopping-there is nothing like a real tree! We have grown tired of the fake tree we have had for the past 4 years, and it was time to go back to buying real trees for Christmas. The smell is amazing-and they just look better. Yeah, I hate the mess and trying to keep them watered-argh(LaVaughn really keeps it watered)! Lulu keeps hitting the tree with her tail when she is looking out the window, and needles are constantly falling from that...and a few ornaments.
[around the house]
I can't stop adding to the decorations! I had to get this pine cone wreath and a few more vintage ornaments-which I love dripping from the mirror. I have been a bit obsessed with taking photos of everything over the past few days. It's a great way for me to polish up on my photography-I have been learning some new tips from some great photography pins. I struggle with sharpness & noise-but when I find a spot with perfect light I am truly excited. It has been driving me batty not being able to get a clear, sharp, and bright photo of the vase with the branches & hanging pine cones/icicles-I have taken HUNDREDS of photos of just that...and from every angle. I just don't get why I am not getting the results I want, lol!!
[lulu]
No, Lulu. You didn't hear Santa coming...yet!
[can you see us]
I was all in Lulus' bed to get this photo!
[Q & A]
Nitasha...thank you so much!! I am a total bargin shopper-if it is not on sale I won't buy it(period). I love to clip coupons and keep a stash of them in my purse at all times. I have even created a monster-my husband...LaVaughn is always asking me if there is a coupon or code or sale. And he gets a bit put-off if I don't have any extra discounts, lol. I used to love the outlets-but now they have turned into cheap quality product made for outlet stores-so I don't buy the stuff that they have TONS of in stock. I believe the more I save the more I can buy;-)
LOL, Holly...you are not alone! My friend says the same thing-I think it's kinda of artsy!!
