Christmas is over and time to get busy getting ready for next year (2012)

 I hope everyone had a great Christmas and will have a safe and Happy New Years. I am staying home on New Years. I don't really celebrate the New Year like most people. I would rather do it at home without all the fanfare that goes with it.
Another Christmas down and time to get myself busy organizing and putting away the crafty Christmas presents so that I can get myself back into my creative mode. I got several craft presents from the Jolly Man himself. My favorite present was the Martha Stewart Scoring Board. I cant wait to see what all one can create with this. So far Kaitie loves making the lines with it. :) I also got my 4x6 mounting block for my stamps. I need to get a bigger one because the stamp I actually wanted this for is bigger than the 4x6, its a post card stamp from Oriental Trading. So next time I am out and about I need to see if Hobby Lobby has a bigger block. They didn't last time I was in there but maybe I will get lucky next time. 
Well I'm off to clean my work table off so its ready to get started as soon as the mood strikes. :)
Until next time....Happy Crafting!

I have been sick this past week. Was in the emergency room Sunday night and found out I have two bacteria infections. (Now tell me I ain't good?, lol). Anyway with the help of the antibodics I am starting to feel better. I will be posting some stuff this weekend that I had been working on before I got sick so hopefully will be able to get them finished and posted soon.

Until next time....Have a great day crafting!

Family Traditions....MyMemories Challenge

Every year on the Saturday following Thanksgiving we put up our Christmas Tree. It sometimes goes pretty easy but this year, it was a nightmare. We couldn't find not one single strand of lights that all the lights worked on. So we took the strand with the most bulbs and that's what we put on the tree. It was to late to run out and get a new set and finished decorating it. When we turned it on to see how it looked, the bare spots weren't so bad, and we decided to leave it. We decided it gave it character....lol   Anyway, here is the finished tree....Enjoy!
