Some Things I Love....

Hello friends! I am making a list of a few things that I love right now...want to see them?

Okay here we go....

First off I love this layout that I created for the last online crop!

Oh and of course I love those people in the layout!!! LOL!

I am so obsessed right now with Scrabble in my Ipod!

Is it ever fun, ever played?

Of course it is Roll Up The Rim Time at Tim's...and hear look at my first coffee I got!

Gotta love that!

So as you know there was a mix up with the magazine, they have been really great posting apologies and trying to make up for the incident. They even sent us some awesome products.

Have to say I love these stamps and I know they will be well used!

Oh go here and see this great article Jackie wrote!

Okay well that is it for now bloggers!

But before I go I have to ask....what do you love right now?

Canadian Scrapbooker

I have had a secret since November!!! Canadian Scrapbooker asked me to be featured in their magazine in the Passport to Creativity Article! The magazine has finally hit stores.

This is a little bittersweet though as there was a major mistake in the printing.

If you happen to get a copy please note that the layouts that are with my bio are NOT mine.....they are in fact my dear friend Lisa's. They are awesome...but NOT mine! Mine are on the next page with another ladies bio. Her name is on my layouts and my name is on Lisa's. My layouts are One Proud Canadian, Florida and Where Did The Time Go?

I am still hounored that Canadian Scrapbooker asked for me to be apart of their magazine, just sad that this happened.

Here is the cover....

Just have to share....

It is finally a little bit warmer so the boys were able to actually go outside and play tonight!!!

Just wanted to share this picture....

I have been busy redoing my scrap area the last few days - completely changed everything around.

I am not 100% done yet but here is what I have so far....

Oh and one more thing - there is a birthday boy coming soon to our house....

Reveal Day is here!!!

Nothing beats going to the Love Is In The Details store and picking out goodies for a kit! I could not resist the Pink Paislee Old School line, I knew the colors would be perfect and totally my style. I also love creating mini albums so I added the Cosmo Cricket blackboard album to my kit!

So this is how my kit looked all together....

Here are a few sneak peeks of what I did with the kit, to see the rest you have to go over to the Love Is In the Details Blog or to the gallery.

Did you know that the Lori's blog at Love Is In The Details is regularly updated and has awesome creative ideas and sometimes even yummy recipes? I would recommend you check it out OFTEN!!! LOL!

Oh and just so you know the Vegas Crop (in Miami) is already more then half full! Don't miss out on three days of awesome scrapping, food, demos and laughs!!! All the info is HERE!

Christmas Crackers

Lori decided that we would work on a secret special project together and we decided to make it Christmas Crackers. Make sure you go to the Love Is In The Details Blog to see Lori's amazing crackers!!!! I was so excited that Lori had the snappers for the crackers and sent me some. Finally this year our crackers are going to snap!!!! Thank you Lori!!!

Every year I create Christmas Crackers for Christmas Eve. It is a tradition my Mom and I started about fifteen years ago when we were sick of the junky stuff inside the crackers we would buy at the store.

I love picking out the little gifts for each of my boys but this year I decided to do something a little different.

*THE FOLLOWING IS ALL TOP SECRET*

*NO DUTKA'S BEYOND THIS POINT*

Inside of each cracker is a Cadbury Chocolate bar, the traditional party hat, a joke and a secret clue for each person. Once the clues are solved it will lead the boys to a special gift hidden in the house.

Yum!!! I should have bought an extra one to make sure it tastes okay!

Everything fit in perfectly!!!

Ready to wrap!!!!

Each cracker is wrapped in tissue paper and then tied with ribbon.

I added corrugated cardboard and the wine sticker from the Love Is In The Details Store - they were the perfect size!

Each cracker has a unique die cut, (Sizzix & Nestabilities) and the patterned paper matches their place card so no ones gets mixed up.

So do you want to know what the secret hidden gift is??? Can you keep a secret???

The clues will lead them to this....

A great game that we can play after dinner!!!!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

Christmas Houses

Another wonderful Christmas reveal today at Love Is In The Details!!!

Lori sent us these wonderful houses that Nola's Dad made!!! They are the perfect size and so fun to create with!
