Christmas 2010

Good Sunday mornin' everyone!

I'm a day late to share my last Christmas card of the year. I gave Teacher Anya from TGF a little hair cut. The Christmas tree is hand-made, and all supplies (except the snowflakes brads and ribbon) are from the Dear Lizzy Christmas line from American Crafts.

We had a great Christmas this year. We celebrated Christmas Eve and Day with our families. Lots of joy and singing and dancing (yes, to the Glee Xmas album) and eating and opening presents.

Call me sentimental but I always get this overwhelming blissful feeling during Christmas. It is definitely renewed especially because of my son. I'm seeing everything again through his eyes. And when I was a young girl, I'd get this big let-down and withdrawals because it was over so soon!

Well, this day after Christmas, I am not withdrawing yet. We are hosting our annual holiday get-together for my college Nursing crew. It'll be our second dinner party at our new place. I am very excited! :)

Hope your holiday was phenomenal!

Tiny, simple bits...

Good festive Holiday week to y'all!

I hope you are all ready for the holidays! I know I'm rushing on my days off to go grocery shopping, finish wrappping presents, and *gasp* make Christmas cards! I even sneak off during work (when it's not busy of course) to write my things-to-do, things-to-shop-for lists.

Today, I wanted to share what I made last week. We had our Holiday party at work, and I wanted to contribute by crafting. These tiny bits were supposed to be favor tags. But they ended up too big for them, and didn't match the favors' designs. So I adhered each one to individual cardstock to make simple Christmas cards.

But silly, forgetful me was rushing out the door. I forgot to take a picture of one and also forgot to take one for myself. Haha!

See you soon!

Santa Baby

Oh wow, it's been two weeks since I've blogged!!

Thanks for your continued visits! I am super busy with Holiday deeds but who isn't nowadays?

I've run behind on my Christmas cards creations. But I've learned to let it go and not overdo it when my plate's already full. I hope to make a few more still though...

Today, I wanted to share Mattie's pics with Santa. So adorable! Especially the third one when he seems to be deep in thought about what he wants for Christmas. LOL!









Have a wonderful weekend!

Anything But Boring.

Happy Monday, everyone!

Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving weekend! We drove to Mesa, AZ and met up with some family. Boy, we had tons of fun eating, shopping, going to the Phoenix zoo (which was all lit up with Christmas lights!), and hanging out. It was a nice lazy time.

Driving to and fro though was another story. In order to beat the traffic and have the tot sleeping most of the way, we mostly drove overnight. NOT FUN!

I'm still trying to catch up on lost sleep... :)

This card was made using my new favorite color combo -- turquoise & orange. Discovered them here. I absolutely LOVED everything about this wedding!! And i think it's so cool that a scrapbooker took some of the pictures!

Used lots of K & Company and Sassafras. The stamp is from TGF's Miss Anya Lounge.

On a VERY special note, I received this from Yvonne. Thanks, girlie!





Now, I'm supposed to write down three things that make me unique.

1. My first name is French. My last name is Spanish. And I often get mistaken for being Chinese!

2. Besides card-making and scrapbooking, I also love to wrap presents! There's nothing like making crisp folds against a gift box! Haha! I am planning on having one day with just my wrapping paper, scissors, tape, and DVR!

3. I like making dance routines to Christmas songs. My all time favorite one to 'perform' is to 'All I Want for Christmas is You.' Right now, I'm choreographing for 'Deck the Rooftop' -- the Glee Christmas CD version. LOL!

And then I'll pass the award to five beautiful people:

Hugs!
