I have actually been working a digital scrapbook for the kids to stick all the  pictures in of the Elves goings and doings. I figure when it is all over, I will have it printed so they can look through it over the year. I am hoping it will help with not missing them to much! So today's installment is what the Elves...

The Technique Twist #11

5:19 AM 5 Comments
I wanted to try this technique and to be honest I don't know if I executed it right but I wanted to try it. The challenge this week at The Technique Twist was called traced doodling. My first attempt at it was a failure so I did it again and stamped the Festive Flurry flake in basic black which is attemptingly...

The Elves Arrived!

The morning after Thanksgiving is reserved for the arrival of the Elves.  My daughter wrote the sweetest letter to Santa asking for her Elf Herman to come back and she wanted to make sure that her little brother also got an Elf from the North Pole. His Elf is Eddie! So when they woke up Friday morning, the Elves...

Thanksgiving Crafts

We are having a lazy Thanksgiving day today. We have no where to go which is wonderful even though we do miss our families in Arizona and Wisconsin. The hubby played football with the kid to discover Miss O has quite a throw with her arm. She said she has been playing with neighbor kid a bit (he loves sports). Mr. L worked...

I totally forgot to post this earlier this week. You can see my in-seething hatred for doing the Elf on the shelf but here is the irony, I actually spent time this week planning some of his things out to maybe lessen the stress it cause me. Here's to hopes I rarely forget him rather than forget him almost every darn n...

My daughter has a ton of bows in her bathroom drawer and she never wants to wear them because she does't want to go through them to find the perfect one, so after seeing a zillion of them on Pinterest I made her one. It was super easy. I picked up this frame on the clearance rack for 4 bucks. I had the ribbon on hand...

12:00 AM 0 Comments
Way back in August my daughter was invited to a birthday party which was a horseback riding one. She actually was scared because she had never rode a horse before.
