Starting on our Christmas page

Every year I make a scrapbook page… virtually the only traditional scrapbooking I do…then make color copies to send out as our Christmas greeting.

This year I am struggling with both a design and color scheme.

My first concept was this completely non-traditional color scheme. I love the colors and elements but can’t seem to find a design I like.

The second has more traditional Christmas colors but just seems blah and ordinary to me.

I’m also struggling with what photos to use.

I think I just have too many things going right now and need to just focus on one at a time.

12 days of Christmas swap

Yes, I did say Christmas! I was just grumbling to my husband about the holiday sales and lighting ceremonies that are going on already…call me a hypocrite.

These likely won’t hit the mail until Monday. We’re due for the first snow of the season tomorrow and I tend to stay home, if possible, on that day…too many fender benders.

It always amazes me that everyone seems to forget how to drive in snow during the scant 5 months that it’s generally not falling. DUH!!!! Get a grip people…it’s Minnesota!!! Learn how to drive.

‘Twas the day before Christmas…

our house is a flutter. The cooking, the cleaning, just look at the clutter!

By evening I hope the Legos are not on the floor, you never know who might knock on the door.

When the kids are tucked into their beds, I’ll do my impression of the big man in red.

Tomorrow morning will be here too soon, our guests will be here well before noon.

I hope your Christmas will be ever so great and wish you the best in 2008.

More digital…and gingerbread

Spent some more time playing after getting back from a gingerbread house party at school.

I’ll have to take a picture of those as well. They sure had fun making them!

Goodie…more candy…

Finished Christmas shopping

I’m done with my shopping! I even brought back a few small stocking stuffers today. I still have a couple handmade things I’d like to get done but if I don’t have time it won’t be tragic.

Thought I’d leave you with this vintage Santa image.

Another gift

I got another gift made up this weekend. It’s a scrapbook made from a children’s board book. It is filled with pictures of the kids over the past year.
