Tinkering Ink

products ROCK! Just finished with my December Bella Art assignment early as usual. It was to create using a Creative Imaginations Colin car board book, with a birthday theme using Tinkering Ink papers, alphabets,Finery adornments,Tabs and tags from their Westminster line. I also used some Studio brown paint mixed with Pearl Ex to give it a shimmer, Hambly transparencies, Robin's Nest gold dew drops, some CI paper for journaling and some paper ribbon all from Bella Art. Unique products you can't find at those big craft stores. Love the way it came out and hope you do too! Happy Saturday

Quarantined

sign should go on my house. 2 kids home sick and myself not feeling so great. It's a pajama day here. Maybe if I am lucky I will fell up to finishing a project or working on my Christmas cards. Danielle made the Basketball team! Well, they decided not to cut anyone. She is thrilled and so am I. She does better when she is busy. Such a great organizer like her dad. We had our first family meeting last night. Rules where layed out, chores assigned and allowances and consequences where discussed. Matt was to get 5 a week , Danielle 10. Right away he negotiated 6 and 12 with me because that's how old they are. How cute is that? I had to give in. No pictures from yesterday and the tree still is bare. Lots of time though right? No stress. The house smells good at least!

December First 2008

 

I feel like tomorrow is Christmas. Time is going by that fast right now. I want to stop the clock. Pulling 2 all nighters, well one and a half in 3 days has not helped. Our tree is up today, no lights or ornaments, which is a first for this family. It is usually up and decorated the day after Thanksgiving. I want to go to New York on Wednesday with my sister to see the tree lighting in Rockefeller Plaza but It just isn't in the cards this year. Hopefully Kara will get some good pictures. Happy December everyone!
