Aren't these flowers beautiful....I got a wonderful surprise today from one of the ladies in my Stampin up club....Brenda these flowers are so PRETTY, what a wonderful surprise, thank you so very much. As you open up my front door they are sitting right there for me to see each day...Hugs to you...


Yelp, I told you all that I had Christmas on the brain for some time now....I decided this year to start thinking early about how I wanted to decorate this year......I am trying my best to start enjoying the holidays for what they really are meant for....I use to love to look forward to Christmas to decorate my apartment, home.....etc...then after my kids started getting bigger, I almost started dreading it....I WANT THIS, I WANT THAT .....etc....So we have a few traditions that we do now before opening presents....prayer, reading from the bible.....and a few other things that are REALLY IMPORTANT.....trying to get the kids out of so much of just wanting wanting wanting......more into thinking about giving......yeah right....anyways I have been thinking about a few things....I have these two pretty Christmas Garlands that I put up in the framing of the dinning room.........I think these are cute....found them at Marshalls for a great price....Not to sure what to put on my dinning room table...here is another garland I found at Marshall..........yes another great price...maybe I will add more candles in between the garlands...I usually just leave my roses...(on the floor) on the table with Christmas candles around them...but I want to do something different this year..........then I put another piece of the garland up around the mirror by the entry door.........well I think I will go in the shed today and get out the long garland for the stairs.......Boy I still have way so much to do..this is just the beginning......So have any of you started decorating yet? Or am I the only crazy one.

WORKING ON SOME LAYOUTS.............YIKESSSSSSSSS


Yelp that's right, I have been working on a few layouts this weekend.........It is funny, years ago, that is all I did......I totally drove my kids crazy taking pictures of them everyday so that I could scrap a new layout.........then I started making cards and KIND OF slacked big time on doing layouts...to the point that I almost don't feel comfortable in doing them or shall I say in showing people my layouts........Boy there are some talented scrappers out there, but I have came to realize one thing, that I really don't like to much of a BUSY page or very bulky...With that said, here is one of the layouts I did last night..I have ALWAYS loved this picture of my husband and my Benjamin....
