Merry Christmas [eve]!

may your Christmas be merry and bright and may we remember what it’s all about. :)

 

 

See ya next year!

3 days!

and I’m still decorating here and there, I made paper snowflakes over the weekend and I love them. I hung them in front of my kitchen windows, but I think I might make more to stick on the walls. I wrapped tons of gifts yesterday and our tree looks ready for Christmas!

 

 

 

and I made some little yarn trees that I love. Here’s the tutorial if you’re interested.

Since we don't have a mantle, we hung our stockings by the tv, and I still haven’t embroidered Cody & Olive’s names on theirs. hopefully I’ll have enough time to do that! but not right now! I still need to make up our Christmas packages, so that’s what I’ll be doing all day today and I mean ALL day. I’m stuck in the kitchen, but that’s the way I like it. :)

 

Merry [almost] Christmas!

Scrap Scrap Scrappin’

 

 

I am the biggest slacker as of late. Ok I’m not gonna lie, I pretty much have always been when it comes to starting projects and finishing within my own timeline. One of my bestest friends got married this summer in Vermont (as you probably already know from reading my previous posts) and I decided to make her a little scrapbook of some of her pictures, just to have as a memoir kinda deal. I got the idea after seeing Elise Blaha’s post where she used the Russell and Hazel mini binder and I loved it, so I wanted something similar. I started it almost right after we got back from VT, and planned on giving it to her within the next month…well 4 months later, I finally finished it.

WHO DOES THAT?? oh yea, me.

I gave it to her and her husband as a Christmas gift. It proved to be harder than it sounded in my head, but I was definitely happy with the outcome. Here are some pictures I took before I gave it to her. Her colors were orange, yellow, brown and creme. I started by cutting the pages to the appropriate size and sort of winged it from there…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All done! I was so relieved when she opened it and liked it. :)

 

 

other than that, I’ve been so stressed with school. It always seems like I have a love/hate relationship with the final week(s) before breaks. Christmas break, Spring break, Summer break. There’s always a finals week before that kills it for me. NEVERTHELESS I have a class tomorrow night and then I’m freeeeeeee. But for now, I need to get back to finishing some projects.

 

Only 8 days until Christmas!
