Follow Up Pics

These are some of the ornaments I made for Christmas this year.  I cut the letters out of contact paper with a Cricut machine.  I thought kind of cute for someone who is not crafty!

 

 

 

 

 

And this is a necklace  I made for Nana and key chains I did for my BIL's and Hubby.  Definitely new to the metal stamping!

 



 

 

 

 

I think my next project should be on how to take good blog pics....lol.   You get the just of it though, I'm sure.



My How Time Flies....

Gosh, lots has happened since my last post.  Hadn't planned on it being this long either but December has flown by.  My birthday was on the 16th, my grandmother flew in from California on the 17th, G had her school Christmas party on 18th, a field trip to sing Christmas Carols on 19th and Awards Day and Early Release for break on 20th.

Speaking of Awards, she got the Pride Award in her class, very proud of her!  And for the field trip, MeMaw Millie surprised her by going with me to see her sing. Oh and on Friday on the way home from school, she handed me her tooth that she had been fiddling with all week.  I was just not ready for that one either.   I mean that's just more proof that she is growing up so fast.

We had a wonderful Christmas with family and got way too many gifts and ate way too much food.
My house looks as if the washer and dryer exploded and Santa's sleigh wrecked!   At least there are a few more days of break to put everything away.

Hoping to get back in a routine very soon.  MeMaw Millie is here for a couple more weeks so we will enjoy time with her.


Happy New Year to you all!

Hectic AM's

Well, the week started off like a whirlwind.  It was  a typical Monday yesterday.  B refused to do anything to get ready for school.  With his eczema issues, we have a morning and night regimen.  He detests the creams and ointments and is so slippery with them when he fights me I usually lose my grip and he falls.  Then that starts a whole new reason to be upset.  To bad it doesn't count for a workout for me though.  My heart rate definitely increases.  And then this doesn't even count G's routine.  She's big enough now though she does a lot of it on her own which helps on mornings like yesterday.
George, our Elf left B an Elf Warning on his door after all the ruckus that morning.

 



Maybe the next few days won't be as eventful as yesterday.  LOL

And So The Hustle And Bustle Begins.....

Seems these days are going by faster and faster.  Thanksgiving has come and gone already.  Had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.  Of course, we ate too much, as we go to three different places but wouldn't trade it for anything.

We have our Christmas tree up and our stockings are hung.  I really don't do anything outside.  Oh and George, our Elf is back with us too.  Haven't taken pictures like I should have but he's been in our tree, stuck in a lamp, swinging from the fan and then this morning he was on a shelf in the kitchen with a fruit loop necklace it appears he made..........with the LAST of the fruit loops!

Need to get the list out and start shopping but haven't made it that far yet.  Kids have mailed their letters to Santa though. I told them they could ask him for three things this year and that's what they did. 

Maybe next post I will have remembered to take pictures of George and his doings.
