old man christmas

Wishing you all a lovely holiday!

santa's on his way...

The girls are loving being on winter break and doing all this holiday-ish. We've been baking, sending out cards and drawings, watching movies with snowmen and miracles, listening to our favorite Xmas tunes and wrapping lots of presents. We had a small Xmas Cheer party, with gingerbread decorating and snow-globe making and cupcake eating ( oh, my Xmas jammies are getting tight.) ( I need to start my New Year's resolution of more exercise sooner rather than later.) ( oh, and I have been working on my December Daily album, but I am way behind, all mixed up and will take pics hopefully in the next couple days.)

this is little sis' snow-globe...she glued 2 little critters together kissing while another guy hides behind the tree watching....I don't know, I don't know.... ( we still need to add snow and water at this point here)

Lil' Siszilla strikes again!!!

No matter where you are or what holiday you celebrate, I wish you lots of love and peace!

lots of white glitter snow + a dash of green and red

I'm feeling rather festive here in south Florida.  Minus the weirdness of December and it's 76 degrees, I am loving being back in the States for the holidays. The girls, Dave and I have gone looking at Xmas light  shows, gone to see Xmas movies and have made a couple batches of holiday cookies and treats.

I have more pictures and I'll post them later!  Are you decorating for your holidays?  I'd love to see pictures!

I love this book that now sits so pretty upon my coffee table...

You should check it out...

( Sarah, you especially.)

the best gift...

We all can come up with things that we've gotten as gifts that mean a lot to us, and this month's prompt over at the Creative Type is to scrap it.  I searched my brain for what I could scrapbook; the trip to Europe, my favorite purse, a mom's day at the spa coupon, the toilet paper roll decorated so pretty with crate paper and macaroni...they all mean a lot to me.  But at the chance of sounding corny, really the best gift is time.  I cherish the time I get to spend with my friends and family, that's honestly the best gift.

So come play along with us!!  There's fun prizes, special guest designer, You Tube vids, come and see!
