Contest!

As promised here is the calendar page for December! Would you like to win a car costume? All you have to do is leave me a comment on what your favorite Christmas movie is and why. I will also be giving away #3 chocolate bars. I will be pulling the names this weekend and post the winners on 12/1!

Make a Smilebox photobook

I went out today in my costume as I have for the past 2 years and I just have a ball with this. Yes, people stare( that's the point) and they laugh, smile, and point. I have had people give me the thumbs up and wave. The point being to make people get a good chuckle.

Progress and something you have to see!

Well, I got the car washed and bought a new hat. I hope to have that calendar done by Monday. You must go to Simply Me at the bottom of the " scripts I'm reading" and check out her blog. She has some great ideas on her blog and is currently showing something you just have to see!

Happenings

I thought I would post last years calendar page and the bottom too. This was taught by Heidi Swapp through the " A Year to Remember " class. I loved the bottom so much that I did a little different version this  year. I will be revealing it as soon as I have my big photo shoot. I have to go get my car washed so it looks good for the shoot. Car you say? YES, my car, or Monster truck as I like to affectionately call it, will be a prop in my picture for the December entry.

Found these little felt bags and ribbon in the dollar bins at at Tarje' ( Target). When you add in my free tags from the 30 days to a homemade class that's  a good deal. How cute could those be for teachers and neighbors?  

I'm changing all the layouts in the " prop room" to be holiday esque. I found this oldie, but a goodie.

I can never say it enough, gosh, they grow up so fast!

Lastly, getting caught up on some unfinished projects, isn't this THE CUTEST thing ever?

I took a class from http://wilnaf.blogspot.com/ at sis tv called Cupcakes and Coffee in the fall, you may remember. Anyhoo, this is just one of the projects. I am going to be using this idea for some Christmas gifts using the Christmas coffee cups. Cute Right?

 

I posted some shots of the prop room in various stages. I'm not a neat freak, i often work well in a mess. I usually clean up when I can't see any more surfaces and I keep loosing scissors and glue!

Till tomorrow then,

Nighty Night!

Make a Smilebox postcard

I remembered I hadn't put up any Halloween pictures, so here they are. I am playing catch up with some of my classes. I am working on some of the 30 days to a handmade Christmas, my December calendar, and some festive layouts for the scrapbook room, and some gifts. I hope to reveal some of these by the end of the week. Next Monday be on the lookout for a funny Thanksgiving story wih a layout to go with.
