Merry Christmas!

For a second year and a row we have had a white Christmas.


I hope each of you had a day filled with joy and special family time. :)

Snowman Fetish?

I finished knitting and putting together this little guy this week. I had started him last winter and ran out of yarn and the store was out too. I think it was May or June before I found the yarn again and needless to say I didn't really feel like making a snowman then. LOL. Anyway, I did get him finished to add to our Christmas Decor this year and I absolutely love him. He is very soft and cozy, just like the pattern says. :D If you love him as much as I do you can get the pattern HERE.

Yesterday we went out and cut down out Christmas tree. Now that I have begun digging out all of our Christmas ornaments and decorations I've discovered something about myself....... I have a real snowman fetish! I think I always have. I love all things snowmen but most especially building them from fresh fallen snow. I don't see that coming in the near future though. I guess I will have to wait patiently and enjoy the snowmen inside my home in the mean time.

So, what is it you love??

Red stretchy footies

I finished these footies on Monday night. Love the yarn--Cascade Fixation--a nice stretchy yarn. This was a fun, fast knit!

Sketchapalooza 2

I can't believe that the Feeling Scrappy Sketchapalooza 2 Sketch class has finished already.  Designers, Jayne Jones, Stacey Lokovic and Amy Bell offered 20 wonderful sketches. As the Guest Designer I was asked to  make examples to show class participants. I was able to complete 16 of the 20 sketches.  It has been a long time since I've completed so many pages in one month. :) I can't wait for Sketchapalooza 3 (coming in March 2009). Be sure to check out all the upcoming Feeling Scrappy classes!

Get'er Done

This weekend I was in the mood to get my scrapbooking back up to date.  I had a bunch of photos from our spring break vacation that I was dreading. Not because it wasn't a great time, but because I had so many photos. So I buckled down and got to work. They aren't the fanciest pages, but I'm happy that they are done. :)

Mommy Brag! :D

Last night was the high school cross country awards banquet....always a lot of fun to see the kids who have worked so hard over the course of the season get recognized for their achievements. Kelsey earned her first varsity letter and Grant got his fourth for Cross Country! :D Not only that, they both came away with special awards too. Kelsey was chosen by her peers as 'Freshman Girl of the Year'! And Grant received the special honor of the 'Coaches Award' for his hard work, support of his teammates, and determination (not giving up when he broke his arm). We are so proud of both of them. 

Teaching Day

It is teaching day over at Feeling Scrappy.  Jayne asked me to teach a lesson on how to make embossed journaling strips. I hope you check it out. :D
