    2nd, 3rd and 4th days of Christmas

    December 16, 2010 - By 

    I am falling behind!!  To much to do and to little time I guess.

    On the 2nd day of Christmas I opened this clever packaging by Jan of Dandelion and Daisy to reveal…

    Two turtle doves. Aren’t they sweet in their little nest.

    On the 3rd day of Christmas I opened another clever page by Jeanene.

    I didn’t realize that the little gift opened to reveal….

    3 French Hens until today. I had tugged a bit at the gift thinking that it should open but didn’t want to wreck it. Today I found the velcro.  Very fun!

    Today, the 4th day of Christmas I opened the first of two days that our swap host graciously stepped in and fulfilled other participants obligations when they dropped out last minute. Thanks for doing that Elizabeth!

    Hopefully I’m back on track now and will be posting daily as I open these fun pages!

    Tea Tuesday

    December 14, 2010 - By 

    Today I’m treating myself to a fancy cup of yummy tea while I write Christmas cards.

    In previous years I’ve made a scrapbook page then had them color copied to send out as our family greeting. Last year I did a custom photo card.

    This year I went in a more traditional direction. I purchased these cute cards last year after Christmas. Then last month I created a collage photo to send along with the cards. I’d forgotten how long it takes to sign each cards, write a little note in some and then address all the envelopes!!  It’s worth it though.  I love having all the cards and photos from friends and family hanging in the kitchen.

    Head over to Kimmies blog to see what my Tea Tuesday friends are up to today.

    I’ll be back a little later with the 2nd day of Christmas swap page…

    12 Days of Christmas Swap

    December 13, 2010 - By 

    It that time of year again… I joined a Christmas swap with some of the great artists on abc_alteredbookclub for the annual swap. In the past we’ve made fun little gifts for each participant but this year it was slightly different. We each make a page based on the 12 days of Christmas song. At the end we’ll each have a wonderful Holiday book to cherish every year.

    Here are all the little gifties just waiting to be opened.

    Today’s 1st day of Christmas page was made by Corinne of Glitz-oh Girl.

    A great piece of digital art!  Thanks Corinne!

    Each day I’ll be opening another page…or maybe I should say the kids will be opening another page. They love to open presents!!
