Yes, I did say Christmas! I was just grumbling to my husband about the holiday sales and lighting ceremonies that are going on already…call me a hypocrite.

These likely won’t hit the mail until Monday. We’re due for the first snow of the season tomorrow and I tend to stay home, if possible, on that day…too many fender benders.

It always amazes me that everyone seems to forget how to drive in snow during the scant 5 months that it’s generally not falling. DUH!!!! Get a grip people…it’s Minnesota!!! Learn how to drive.


The red one does have a map background…it’s just really hard to see in the photo.

I spent a very pleasant afternoon in the craft room with my daughter. Daddy had come home sick so we figured we’d spend some time on a quiet activity while he rested.

I don’t really understand art dolls or why people make them but am always willing to experiment. Moonflower child was actually kind of fun to create.


I also made these 2 Map 4×4’s…I still have 2 more to make.

What I really should have been doing today was working on my 12 days of Christmas swap that is due in a couple weeks. I just can’t seem to get into making these gifts this year!


Did you?

Since I completed my Just for Fun altered book I had nowhere to play. I started a new book this morning. I’m calling this one my Playtime altered book.

This is the first spread.

I started smack in the middle of the book for a change. I was basically trying out some new supplies I acquired.

I went to an awesome sale a few blocks from here last week and got all of these supplies for $8.50!!! Everything was unopened or nearly newly! The gal ran a rubber stamp business and was moving across the country so she decided to liquidate.

As luck would have it, I didn’t have much cash and the kids were along, otherwise I’d have likely way overspent my budget. You just don’t come by sale s like that very often!!


We are opting out of Halloween this year. I’m so glad!

Last year I went kicking and screaming into Halloween. This year we convinced the kids that since they have to throw so much of the candy away anyway due allergies that it wasn’t really worth it.

The kids are getting a trip to Toys R Us with cash to buy something and the candy of their choice.
