Snowman & snowball fights

We had a little fun today before the RAIN washes away all of our snow. :(

LensBaby

I've been waiting to use my LensBaby Creative Kit and the Christmas tree is the perfect lighting! I need more practice but what a fun camera "toy" to play with!
Happy Holidays,

Cookies for Santa (and us)!

My 3-year-old wanted to make cookies for Santa about 3 weeks ago. Finally I couldn't put her off anymore since all of the other preparations had begun. We finally made cookies this week--for Santa and Us. She is a great little helper with almost anything, but I was so amazed (and proud) at the great job she did with the cookies. She even rolled the dough by herself. We made cut-out cookies and some that you cut & stamp at the same time. The next batch will be decorated & iced. Oh, there will be another batch because these won't last until the 24th! Here's a picture of the "official taste test" and some of the finished cookies.

SNOW!

It's finally here. I can now really get in a Christmasy mood. Started on addressing cards tonight, Christmas CD's strategically placed in the car, at work and at home. Hopefully I'll be able to knock off some of the items on the shopping list in one fell swoop sometime this week. After that it's baking cookies for Santa. Wish me luck!

New layouts

I've finished 3 layouts in the past few weeks. OK...not quite finished. I need some help coming up with titles. One is my daughter taking her doll tobogganing in the house. The other is of my husband and daughter on the couch giggling & laughing. Any suggestions?

This post is of my completed page. It was finished 2 weeks ago but needed some embellishment. I stamped three shoes, cut them out by hand and added some "bling" with Stickles. Then it was suggested that I add some "fluff" to the black shoe. I bought some feathers and glued some pink ones on the toe. This is what it looks like close up. (Thanks Dana!)

Send any title suggestions my way.
