Christmas card photo fun

I decided to take the photo this year to put inside the Christmas card. With Jim's help we got some good picture's. Here are a few of the many, just a little peek. Enjoy!

Taking Back My Christmas

I have signed up for an online journal class. The idea is to pick a theme, mine will be Christmas. I always have a hard time and really miss family this time of the year. So, I thought this would be good for me. So,
Starting December first, I will keep a Christmas journal. In it, I will write something everyday to reflect in the holidays of my past, enjoy the holidays of the present and dream about the holidays of my future. To some, this will be a stack of papers and trivial scribbles, but not to me. I am taking back my Christmas, I am letting it be something I relish and most importantly, I am giving some time to myself everyday no, matter how crazy this season becomes.
It will be like an art journal, a place to put pictures, receipts, cards, etc. I have also been making some holiday decorations. Here are the pictures of these that I have promised some of you-
This is an altered trading card spinner that I have covered the cards with Christmas papers, and included parts of Twas the night before Christmas story on, it is still a work in progress!

This is just a little holiday picture I made. I cut 2inch squares of holiday paper, and put embellishments on them. Pretty easy, and after the holidays I will take it out and put the photo back in it's place.











These are styrofoam cones. One I covered in buttons, and the other I punched out heart shapes from my stash of Christmas paper, and placed them on the cone upside down with pins.




I am liking the lime green, pink, red color scheme this year. Just having fun creating. Now, I have to go start making cards.

Our Thanksgiving Day

Dear Family and Friends,

Extreme Makeover

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition came to our town! The beneficiary of this 2Million home was Patrick Hughes, a 19-year old University of Louisville student and his family. Patrick was born without eyes and his arms and legs don't fully extend, so he gets around by wheelchair. His house wasn't wheelchair accesible inside or out. He has an amazing gift for music, he plays the piano beautifully. Because his father wanted him to live life as "normally" as possible, Patrick attends college and even marches in the band. Patrick's dad attends classes with him and does the marching as he pushes Patrick's wheelchair for him.

This episode will air in February on ABC and apparently will be the Season FINALE! (How cool is that?!)
