A few new things...

It always amazes me how I blink

and the holidays are

RIGHT.AROUND.THE.CORNER!

I always say every year that I am

going to start my shopping early

I am going to do things around

my house that have been neglected.

I am going to put up my decorations early.

I am going to make my christmas cards early.

Mail the cards out early.

And once again...I AM NOT EARLY!!

I feel behind on everything!

So today I took a few minutes to create

sort of "a beginning xmas list"

and ordered a few things online.

It wasn't much...

but I feel MUCH BETTER already!

Not to mention Black Friday...

I will be the crazy one getting up at

stupid o'clock to shop...

And as I do every year...

I will get through this one too :)

So enough blabbering....

and on to the good stuff....

This is ONE thing that I had a jumpstart on for the holidays...

I really LOVE the new Pink Paislee Shadowbox frames

and I was thrilled to be able to create with one.

This one I did to hang up during the holidays this year...

The picture is of my son from a trip that we took

to Vermont when he was about 6.

I adore this picture of him and knew right away

that I wanted to use it on this project :)
