This year I’ve decided to mail out Christmas cards. I actually made most of these back in July, because I’m an extreme planner like that. But they turned out pretty cute and I’d like to share them with you. So here’s a countdown to Christmas, in cards.
The day after Thanksgiving I officially allow myself to get excited for Christmas. If these sweet little faces under a Christmas tree don’t get you in the holiday spirit, you’re a grinch.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Although he tells everyone he “loves to hate” the cats, he does have a little soft spot for GatorBait.
Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband!
This is a day we spent in Memphis together on our honeymoon. I still love you just as much, xoxo.
I decided to make a rainy day craft this afternoon. However I’m not the best at remembering to take a before picture.
I painted half the frame and then remembered about the picture. So basically I had this green framed garlic picture. The previous owners of the little house left it, and its been sitting in a corner ever since. So I decided to paint it with some $1 mistint paint and use my Cricut to put a prettier picture inside it. I also got to use my new sticker maker to place the numbers, which worked so well!
I’m so excited to start decorating the new house and I think this picture will be a great addition!
Okay, after this I’ll get on a new subject, but I just love how beautiful this title page came out for the wedding scrap book.
Speaking of the wedding album, I was so fortunate to have a two wonderful photographers who captured some of the most beautiful moments for me to scrapbook, like this image of my mother and grandmothers hands fixing my wedding dress.
The first scrapbook I made was of our wedding. I’m proud of it because
1. I’d never done anything like that before. I was scared to start, in case I ruined something. But during the phase of unemployment I had a lot of time to go slowly and find a rhythm to my own creativity.
2. I didn’t have a lot of stuff! I didn’t own a lot of scrapbooking supplies, in fact I’d never bought anything. It was all given to me from my grandmother. But I managed to take apart wedding cards and leftover flowers from bouquets and make something that I think turned out really nice.
J has made me the ultimate crafting desk! It’s huge and wonderful and I love it!
And look at how quickly I filled it up!
I’m incredibly exciting to get back to crafting. This weekend so far I’ve worked on Christmas cards, wrapped all J’s birthday presents, sewed a broken strap back together and started my newest scrapbooking album.
The 2nd book of “Adventures” which will have all our trips starting in August of last year.
