Yesterday came and went just like that with very little accomplished.  Why? I was glued to the TV watching christmas shows on Lifetime and The Hallmark channel and treated myself with breakfast in bed.  I think every now and then we should enjoy the simple things in life. 
As promised, I am showing you my 3-d swap that I did for our demo group. I saw the tin containers from the SU clearance and decided to do the snowflake ornament.  It was a lot of work involved, but it was all worth it after it was done. Hope you like it.

The only thing missing was the dessert and I would explain it to you guys but you just had to be there.

Hours and Hours of FUN!

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Tuesday !!!

Today I decided to do a Scrapbook Tuesday- using MDS. Our today's feature is of course, Cade and
MJ's shoe. I saw these pictures and I just have to do a page for this little guy. I say to myself  that this shoe better be brand new or I will have to have a long talk with my son.  Anyway, I used one of the layouts on MDS and it worked perfectly for these adorable pictures. Hope you like it.

Simply Simple

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Monday !!!

I can honestly say that plenty of rest and TLC certainly helps because I am feeling so much better.  I already got one Christmas tree up in the family and room and hopefully throughout the week I will manage to get the one in the living room.  I can't believe how much Christmas stuff I accumulate and to decorate the entire house is a task itself. Then you get to take them all down in a month or so.
Anyway, today's post is Simply Simple using the Punch Potpourri set and the Extra large bird punch.
I added a bit of sparkle to the bird and just added pearls for my finishing touch. Hope you like it.
