Christmas morning

I love Christmas morning. We all get up and go into the livingroom to celebrate. The best part of this for me is watching everyone...the kids have such an excitement about them that the entire room radiates! It's such a wonderful feeling knowing that the perfect gifts were selected, and given, with love. This new lo shows pics from our wonderful morning.

Home for Christmas

Well I just finished my first 2009 Christmas lo. This one is dear to my heart as it depics the happiness that I felt due to the fact that my family was not only able to make it home for Christmas, but they were also able to stay for a little while. It was so nice that inspite of all the busy days, they were filled with warmth, laughter, and togetherness.

Yippee! Let 2010 begin!

This year I want to live it like an adventure! Fill it with fun and excitement. I want to spend more time indulging myself in art and taking in the beauty of everything that God has to offer me and my family!

Good-bye 2009!

Wow! Where is the time going? 2009 was a year of BIG changes! Lots of ups and lots of downs! Through it all, we were all soooooooooo blessed. We are hoping for a better year, one that is full of plenty and over-flowing, one that puts all the loose ends together. I put together this lo to depic the year...ending on an upward swing!

O' Christmas tree

Isn't this just the cutest tree! I was shopping in a great gift shop and found this. The minute I saw it I knew I just had to have it. I don't know why, but it just absoluely grabbed my heart!

Spreading the cheer!

I got this fantastic Christmas CD from a friend at work yesterday. I have been getting ready for Christmas and listening to the music in the background...it's just perfect! I finally took a pic of the outside snowman basket to share and I took a pic of this sweet reindeer that just sets the mood for Christmas...I can't wait! Got to admit though, the scrapbooking has been put to the side BUT I got my hands on some awesome papers and embellies and I can hardly wait to scrap!

Christmas card 2009

As we draw closer to Christmas all the decorations are coming out. What a happy feeling to have all the cute trimmings hanging here and there. Last night hubby and I went and picked out our Christmas tree and put it up. The living room smells ever so sweetly of pine! I absolutely love that smell! I used some tree brances to decorate our porch basket with...the perfect outside touch for the yard. Tonight I am working on our family Christmas cards...a Christmas tree made from the form of our hands. I can't wait to send them! Fun, fun, fun!
