YAH!! I got my laptop back :)

    MERRY CHRISTMAS

(It looks better all lite up)

very rarely does he smile. This is what he got

I wanted to share a few holiday pictures with you but the lighting once again was BAD. It has been raining and icy out all day very dark and drap here in the midwest. I did manage to get a picture of my fav decoration this year so I will share :)

I bought it to hang outside but thought it was just to darn cute to let the weather ruin it. I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday more to share later.

P.S. oh ya I got my Fuji instax mini and it is sweeeeet

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

25 days of December

I thought I'd share my 25 days of December I picked this Martha Stewart album up on clearence and though it was perfect to use. I will share the rest with you every couple of days so not to over load you and then that way ( hopefully ) I will have my pictures for that day done. The cover was blank so of course I had to add a little something to jazz it up :)

I can't wait to get my new lighting so these pictures turn out better!! These old houses really suck as far as lighting goes. Keeping my fingers crossed it will happen next week.

I also made these little gift bags using glycine bags. I am thinking of using them for gift cards and a few goodies. I made a ton some for everyday and some " christmasy " (is that a word?)

I hope wveryone had a good Thanksgiving. Finally I got meet this little girl she is a doll! Samantha Sky is her name and what a little pumkin she is

She is a little red head just like her mommy. I wish I could see her more ohhh she smelt so good by the end of the night the poor thing had my red lipstick all over her head.  I aslo got to play with this guy

talk about red hair he's got it. This boy is the SWEETEST thing I just love him so much I want to take him home with me but his mom wouldn't be to happy about that. Enough google'n over the babes makes me miss them even more. I'll be back with more December daily pictures to share.

see ya

A LITTLE VINTAGE FOR CHRISTMAS

Just a quick little post tonight. I wanted to share a wreath I made using an embrodering hoop,mini clothes pins, and some K and Co vintage christmas tags. I plan to revamp it bit but thought I'd share it in it's "raw" stage.

sorry about the lighting not much daylight around here. I also have a gift bag to share I made with my Kenner Road kit

I love scraps!! Well off to finish my wreath I'll share the "re-vamped" photos as soon as I play withit alittle more :)

BLAH :(

Well I think the nice weather is officially GONE. Yesterday was such a nice warm 60' although I had to work I was able to sneak out a few times and enjoy. Today I had big plans made a "To do list" and swore to  stick to it!! Well here I am at 1:00 nothing done and playing on the computer. I will

    **MAKE CHILI

    **PUT LAUNDRY AWAY

    **TAKE DOWN HALLOWEEN DECOR

    **MOP FLOORS

I think that is a big enough to do list for now. Of course I need time to play around a bit. I have this idea for a christmas tree ( vintage inspired:D ) I bought this god awful yellow iron tree at IKEA last year with the idea of painting it black and doing some sort of Halloween tree and I never got around to it so this will be my project for the holidays.

O.K. so I do have a few LO's to share with you from some left over Kenner Road

lots of yummy PP . The butterflies I cut out from some American Craft paper and the spin wheel is K and Co

and of course "My Boyfriend" was perfect for this photo I had from Jacob  and his buddies on our road trip to a basketball turny. ( The push pin is just above Jacob's head )

O.K. I am not getting anything done gotta go

hello there

I'm here!!! still playing catch up. I went back to work about 3 weeks ago and haven't stoped since :) We are changing over to a new computer system at the hospital so we have been training YUK of course we have to do it when we are finished with our days work so it has been some long days for me. the good thing is that I have tomarrow off  yeah!! I have managed to play around a little with my Kenner Road kit and some goodies from Elle's Studio. I was hoping to enter into thier design team search but got home to late last night to submit my entry :( so lucky for you I thought I'd share part of it. These are a few little tags I made I just love the vintage vibe they give me!

I also found this little pail that looked lonely so of course I had to jazz it up a little. I used Little Yellow Bicycle left over paper and rub on and then added some bling to the ribbon.This will be perfect to hold a little treasure I plan on making for my sister.

I have lots more to share but I don't want to over load you all at once so I'll save the rest for another day.

I picked this little guy up last year at Hobby Lobby for like $5. I hope I can pick up the rest of his family this year I just love him.

 

this one and the next are of my dinning room. Hopefully I'll soon be able to purchase a new table and sideboard that goes alittle better with the house.

 

now that is a bad picture!!!!!! sorry

 

I love that tree I wish it had turned out better it is to die for. I picked it up at the Apple Orchard a few weeks ago when my sister and I went shopping. It wasn't easy carry it around I had to bent the branches just to get it in the car lol.

Well enough of my little tour I'll share more later when the sun comes out (ha ha) by the way that train set that sits on the self was my dads when he was little one of the few things I have of his it is one of my most beloved treasures I am sooo glad my aunts gave it to me. One more day til I'm back to work I can't believe I have been off work for a month now. Didn't get as much done as I thought I would :( but I'm feeling great so I feel it coming on so watch out

urrrrgh

The weather has been so blah here lately that I have no good lighting to take pictures! I did however manage to snap a few of my now 18yr :(

 

he always looks so happy doesn't he. We spent the day shopping and then out to eat. The whole time he had his earphones on listening to his new i-pod touch he got for his birthday. I guess hang'n with mom isn't cool ???? Well it is back to work for me on Monday I better kick myself in the a** and get some stuff done around the house. I had a list of things I wanted to do while I was off and maybe accomplished only one or two of them. I have to show this picture of this little cutie Zaynine he is a doll

 

and this is his brother Zyrine

 

They have a little brother on the way. We are hoping they are gonna name him Zander but I think mommy has a diff name in mind ??? These two are the cutest kids. We where all at this little guys (Nolan) birthday party

 

look at that red hair love it!!! He spent most of his time playing with the keys.He is such a sweet little boy just like his mommy. I did manage to get a few projects done just waiting to have some good lighting so I can photograph them. This bingo card i did with my kenner road kit left-overs this will be my last bingo card for awhile don't want to over-kill 'em but they are so fun and easy to play with.

 

 

 

o.k. enough boring you I am off to clean and play with my new kit.
