SMORE-A-licious! - DAY 1

Instead of doing an advent calendar I thought I would try doing something "different" every night leading up to Christmas. Tonight we played a board game (SORRY) and enjoyed roasting (or burning) SMORES! I am open for ideas as to WHAT we will do EVERY DAY for 24 days..ugghh! What was I thinking...

Blessings...I have so many to be thankful for!!

My blessings begin with my family!

Thankful!

I am extremely thankful for the health of my family! 

Today Caitlyn (my 11 year old) replaced her glasses with CONTACTS....Oh my, she is growing up so fast.  

Everything back to normal...CHAOS!

Okay, so I said that I would post my "completed" book. It has been nothing but straight chaos at my house.  I will post the completed book tomorrow.  (Please let there ONLY be Creative Chaos at my house tomorrow!)

We have been taking out all of the Christmas decorations since Friday..umm today is SUNDAY..ouch! So far we have 2 trees out and boxes EVERY where. Oh and not to mention, the trees aren't even decorated. My head hurts! No, seriously I am truly in the Christmas "mood".  I am in the MOOD for someone to come to my house and decorate and ME watch THEM. Thank goodness my mom is coming to help. 

Until tomorrow..PEACe & LOvE

Well my "25 Days Til Christmas" book/December organizer is just about done.  Here is a peek of some of the pages.  Ohhhh and my sweet and "sew" talent friend, Carol has made me a cover for my book.  It is just precious! It's made with red fabric & cute gingerbread men and candy cane all over it AND stitched all around the edges.  Oooo...I just LOVE it!!! I admire her for her wonderful sewing talent! 

I will post the "finished book" tomorrow. Until then... here are some sneak pictures 

Thankful!

Today I am extremely thankful that my husband is so giving! He came home from work and went straight to completing my scrapbook room! He loves me so! heehee

Thankful!

Today I am thankful for my husband.  Two hours ago I "mentioned" to him that I wanted my scrapbook room painted....I wish it was ALWAYS this easy! This is the bathroom nook, the rest of the walls will be a neutral color (ponytail is the name of the neutral color paint).  Yea!
