So excited for the holidays to come!

I'm one of "those" people who cannot wait to start decorating for the holidays!
I even like to start my Christmas shopping early........okay you can gag now...haha!
This is a big confession to share supporting my holiday spirit plague.............. for the last few weeks, I have had my jazzy Christmas CD in my car. I know I am a wee-bit of a dork for this...haha! But! To me.....when the air changes and the crisp air makes my nose run and cheeks rosey, I know my most treasured Holiday season is just around the corner. I have to admit though, I am sure I look pretty silly driving down the road with a big grin on my face humming along to the tunes.
Everything that goes with this holiday makes me happy; warm sweaters, hot chocolate, aromas of cinnamon, shopping the day after Thanksgiving, spending quality time with family, baking and family traditions all combined are what make this time of year so special to me.

With this fun kit, I received a fun ornament shaped chipboard that I could alter to fit my style. Too cool, huh?!?! I decided to use the Polar Bear Press Papers from the kit along with a luscious ribbon, jeweled brads and rick-rack to alter this ornament. So fun, so easy and so, so cute!

Have a WONDERFUL day tomorrow!

Happy Halloween!

Just wanting to wish everyone a wonderful Halloween. Steve and I are looking forward to passing out candy to the little ones tonight :)
 

I hope you enjoyed your weekend!
I did. Steve and I enjoyed our usual ventures around town, hitting our favorite shopping spots and scenic desinations. We love to go through our favorite little drive-through coffee shoppe...."Mocha Joe's" on Saturday afternoons for a 12Oz Sugar Free Caramel Breve. I have been on a low carb diet.....again..... so that is the normal drink I order. Steve also loves Breve's, but adds to the mix 2 chocolate chip cookies that is complete torture to watch him eat. I try to just observe scenery during those times...LOL!!
On a creative note it has been a very productive weekend for me.
I ended up creating 4 layouts, 1 card and 1 altered journal. I also altered a door hanger that I am not too fond of yet....it has A LOT of work yet, to be considered desireable...haha! I am sharing a few of the projects I created today. They were simple and fun. The first 2 projects feature products from...www.creatinginspirations.com The layout below features products from www.cropaddict.com kit.



Have a wonderful weekend! I look forward to hearing what you have been up to!
