Well I finally scrapped our xmas tree. LOL And I love how this turned out. Usually the layouts where I just pull goodies from just about everyone are my most favorite. :) I used Dawn's cream and sugar papers, Kristie's lovely blue chipboard alpha, Ronna's oh so fabulous sheer ribbon, diamond and most amazing new stitches from her stitches 2 volume coming out soon and Gina Wina's fabulous chipboard star from her new Jubiliee kit coming soon also.
Well gosh...so many sweet people are soooo incredibly generous!!!! Carrie sent her email list a GC for any free kit on her site and so did Dianne. Very very sweet!!!!
One of my sweet friends sent me a GC to this store...amaaaazingly shabby store and I am sooo gosh amazed at how generous she is. Looks like this is my store! LOL And I'll probably be spending months trying to decide what to get! LOL
Well yesterday was our lil princess' last day of school! I actually am sooo glad I get her all to myself for the next few weeks and I am sure her brother is as well. :) She has done such a wonderful job this past year in school so she deserves a very nice relaxing holiday.
And lately I have been spreading the GOOD NEWS about digital scrapbooking! LOL Have had a few photoshop lessons at some of my sweet girlfriend's homes. Too fun!!!!! Their eyes lit up seeing how this is done! :) Totally fun and I don't think I have converted a few but definitely got their eyes sparkled! LOL
Okay so no school for two weeks and so let the wrapping begin! But only if I can get several breaks in there to scrap some of these pictures! LOL My goal is to get a ton done!!!! Hopefully that will happen!!!! LOL
Well I am off to Shabby Shop for some goodies for some sweeties so I hope you all have a wonderful cool wintery weekend!!!! Don't forget to sip that eggnog or hot cocoa!!!
Oh and my bestest friend just called me from papa haydn having brunch with her mom and another mutual friend and let me just say I sooo wanna be there too!!! Ahhh what a fabulous time!!!! Jess you need to go there next trip up!!!! It's soo much fun!!!!
Shabby Smoooochies from me!!!

That tree is so soft and perfectly you!! Love the LO as well.
I have an OT question. I was chatting with Mindy today about how I need a new *grown up* purse, since all the onces I own are teeny bopperish. She said you're very fashionable, so I should ask you.
So, who makes the best purses? Keep in mind my max price is $150. Thanks in advance. LOL.

Wow, how fun and I agree with Cat...it looks yummy! There's so way I could get away with it, the husband would probably divorce me, but it's so fun to look at your pages. Fabulous!!
