Comfort and Joy

I love Christmas music! I usually start listening right after Halloween. So I am just listening to Christmas music while I'm typing and thinking of all my little blessings. Little 'noisy' blessings that is Sophie has the morning off from school and WOW... it sure is noisy in here when she's home. (I've forgotten)

AND TGIF too, YAY!! Although... my thoughts are going to tommorrow, when I have my salsa dancing class. I've started salsa dancing excersice classes every Saturday, and boy they sure kick my butt. I can't even remember the last time I've excersice. We just don't like each other too much. But this class was a more 'fun' way of doing it. So here to another day of pain (tommorrow)!!

Can you believe it's December?

Decemeber. Amazing... time just flies by. I just looked at Sophie's school calendar this morning, and I realized she only has three weeks until Christmas break. Then, she has TWO WEEKS off from school!! YES, TWO WEEKS. Where was that when we went to school?? I think we only got a week.

Here are some wintery layouts that I've done.

Heading on out....

I am packing up and heading out! It is Hunting season in Wisconsin, so Aaron is heading up to the hunting shack. Which I'm sure they do more drinking than hunting, but a little guy bonding time never hurts, eh? And I and the kids are heading to my mom and dad's for the next 1 1/2weeks. It should be fun relaxing with my fmaily and I am looking forward to seeing relatives for Thanksgiving. Of course, shopping will be high on my list too! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

TGIF!!! I LOVE FRIDAYS, don't you??

Yes, Fridays. LOVE 'em! I sold all of my paper scrapbooking today and my heart tore a little. I LOVED all of that stuff... but I know I am moving on to bigger and better things (or so I keep telling myself) Sophie has the afternoon off from school. My mom and dad are coming down to visit, should be a great weekend. Enjoy your weekends too!!

It's looking like winter!! I love MN at the first snowfall...

Yes, we woke up with beautiful snow! I had two little heads at my bed this morning with HUGE smiles on the face...they couldn't even contain their excitement. They spent about 1 1/2hour outside playing in the snow.

Here are a few pages from recently

My gramma (my kids' great gramma) is the BEST storyteller... she always uses stuffed animals and acts them out. It was my most FAVORITE thing about when she was coming to visit... I am so happy my kids get to hear these too.

This is Sophie's Halloween costume I made her last year(she'll prob wear again this year too). I had SO much fun playing with these kits!! I think I might do a "enchanted book" for my kiddos! Stay tuned for more page like these...

I did a picture of my brother and Kelly, for their wall at home (mostly Kel's ideas) I took their photograph, blended with different papers for tecture & grunged it up a bit.
