A favorite layout of my little Jada bug...using the Cocoa Kisses Page Kit by Tina Chambers.

One of my new favorite layouts of the two oldest granddaughters. I used Marcee Duggar's Joyee Page Kit, available at Digital Scrapbook Place.

New Year's Eve with Jeff Dunham

Yep....we saw the puppet master last night!!!
Not going to win any oscars, but here's a clip I did while there!

I had a wonderful Christmas

This...is what makes Christmas so special. My three beautiful granddaughters!



Daughter and family....



Brother and me....and the rest of the crew (whose photos are stuck on my dead laptop for the time being...coming soon!)

We've been up to very little this week. Work is really hopping and keeping me busy (but that's a GOOD thing, considering the alternative). To the point of exhaustion. So been trying to take it easy, not an easy thing to do right before Christmas!

Went to Michael's this week, they had 60% off their cards and I found some gorgeous ones for the few people I am sending to. I love walking in their scrapbook area - and the Christmas area - I can just wander and look for hours.

We bought Fleetwood Mac tickets, they're coming in March. Nosebleed seats, but we didn't want to pay the big bucks for the closer ones as we've seen them before. We also booked our winter trip to Mexico - we are going to have two glorious weeks on the beach this year. I am sooooo looking forward to that!

Still have a ton of little things to get done this week. So if I don't get back on here, we hope you have a wonderful holiday!!!

Love, Mike and Gail

Getting Crafty for Christmas

Been busy getting ready for Christmas. It's coming up way too fast! And this is my last week for "getting ready". I have some cards to send out tomorrow, a little shopping to finish up, a few gifts left to wrap.

I made these little photos frames with 50 cent acrylic frames and some scraps from my paper scrapping box - they are for the little ones so didn't want to put too much into them.

We're being really lazy today. I had to work yesterday so this is like my "day after" day.

I did redo my blog using the new kit I made. Took me a long time to figure out the xml - but eventually did it - and now I'm exhausted! My refrigerator needs cleaning - all those leftovers are about falling out when we open the door!

Plus I'm so sick of Turkey, I went to the grocery today and bought cabbage rolls and Thai food. Couldn't get much different, I guess - and chili for dinner - have NO idea where to stash those leftovers. Guess the only place I have room is in the freezer!

If anyone is interested in It's A Guy Thing, post a comment - I don't have a store or anything but am considering selling it if there's interest!

Have a wonderful Sunday!
