Phew. there's bound to be more...but I'm home free! no class until January 12th! What a RELIEF. seriously, it's been sucking the Christmas spirit right out of me. Nonetheless I'm so excited to finally relax and do some crafts, sip some sugar plum tea, watch some corny Christmas movies, and listen to some great holiday tunes!and BLOG of course. Our computers are somewhat fixed. no itunes or photoshop. but I can still keep up with my blogs and online articles.

I'm almost done shopping, a few more things to pick up for Jake and my friends, but our family is mostly done, so I'm not stressing about that. I just want to soak in this next week and really enjoy my family time and take advantage of my crafting and baking and the like. WE went and saw Jackson's Christmas program this week, he was so cute.

I've been following a few magazines online that I saw, Juxtapoz and Hi Fructose and I found some very inspiring artists...I definitely want subscriptions to those...as well as ReadyMade of course. (My favorite) tee hee! Oh and I found some awesome projects in this months issue that I will definitely be trying out on my break!

Anyways...back to my Christmas Cards!





Merry CHRISTmas 2008!
Jenn, Jake & Cody!

It seemed like everyone was having computer problems just in time for finals. :/

I hope all your crafts go well, I don't even have a tree decorated yet, so I'm right there with the giant to-do list. I hope you have a great Christmas vacation and the cards look beautiful.
