Peace on Earth

It doesn't feel like winter in Arizona! We have been on the high 70's! It has been so super nice out!

One of my goals this year is to make my Christmas cards all year long so that (1) I have them ready to go before Christmas and (2) I want each of my cards to be different; so I hope to do some all year long! (We will see!)

Merry Christmas Mini Album!

Merry Christmas everyone! I am so happy it is Christmas Eve, my Husband is working all day today but my girls and I have a list of all the things we still need to do:

Go to Church

Make Christmas list for Santa

Make Christmas cookies for Santa

Make Reindeer food to sprinkle around the outside of the house

Eat Marshmallow Santas

Make hot chocolate and discuss how we are going to try and stay up all night to catch a glimpse of the red suit

Attempt to wrap Dads sleeping bag

Doesn't it sound like such a fun list??

Today is the first day I can actually ENJOY the Holiday! That makes me so happy! Now I have not had anytime to craft over the last few days but I have managed to finally compete this Paper Bag Mini Christmas Album! The album was made using 8 brown lunch bags! I used all scrap paper, scrap ribbon and lots of fun embellishments!

Now onto some sad News..we have to say good-bye to Elvis. Tonight he leaves to deliver the Christmas Wish list to Santa and does not return until next year. My girls always cry as they say good-bye to him. It is really so sad!
So here he is today, ready to take flight back to the North Pole:

 
I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday!
