Holiday Joy

These are the things that are making

me incredibly happy and thankful these days :)

Jake performed in his very first band concert this past week.

It was the Winter Concert and my heart

just busted with joy watching him play!

He was amazing :) So proud of him!

And this...

Jake made the "A" Honor Roll and

we just got his certificate yesterday!

SO SO SO very proud of him!

And this is just making me happy!

I have been stalking Becky Higgins website for

quite some time now debating on whether

or not to get Project Life...

I was nervous about getting because

I have NEVER been a simple scrapper

and I really thought this kit was more basic

and for beginners...

Uhhhh...can I say...LOVE.LOVE.LOVE!

It is EXACTLY what I have been needing to

get a kick in the butt to get my pictures into

an album! It's simple, it's fun and most

of all it's taking away the guilt I have been

hanging onto with all my pics either being

stuck on the computer or stuffed in a box!

Truly.Love.This.Kit!

Already started using it and not done yet...

still going to add other stuff to it...

but off to a great start!

Thank you Becky!!

Thanks for stopping by and I wish

all of you a blessed and Happy Holiday

whether you celebrate Christmas, Chanukah

or another holiday I hope you have a

wonderful time with your families :)

Feeling Inspired...

This is the first year in a very long time that I

am REALLY feeling the whole Christmas vibe.

Every year I feel that I am struggling to keep my

head above water to get everything done.

This year I made a HUGE effort to get ahead

and I have to tell you that I am loving it!

I did my decorations early this year and

I just have a few small things left to buy.

FEELING.REALLY.GOOD.RIGHT.NOW!!

Not to mention that I have been cranking the

holiday music this year in my car...

Yep I am the crazy blonde singing her little

heart out to xmas tunes while driving! LOL

Anyways.... I found this blog

SHE.IS.AMAZING!!!!

I fell in love with her work especially

her holiday tags.

And I had to re-create the one that she did.

This is my version...

This tag just SCREAMED to me

Merry Christmas!

And I learned a couple of really cool techniques.

So check out her blog I am sure you will love it!

And a few pics from around the house...

Thanks for stopping by!!

Have a great weekend!
