A productive weekend

Thanksgiving break is over
& I'm sad.
My girlies have to head back to school
while I count down til Christmas break.
Oh how I love having them home with me!!
I was actually productive this weekend.
Not only did I get to scrap,
but I used a commercial carpet cleaner for the first time.
My carpets look new,
& my body will be soooooooooooo sore tomorrow!!
We're getting the house ready for Christmas decor,
so it's another busy week.
Here's 2 layouts I did on Saturday
with a 3rd on my desk.
My sewing maching is messed up
so it's lacking the extra sewing I usually have.
I guess I could hand-stitch,
but didn't feel like it.

I hope your week is off to a great start.
I'm looking forward to mine!!

Christmas project

So I did get a chance to scrap today.
After cleaning my desk,
I spent the day completing this project.
Sadly,
I had the box almost completed,
so I didn't have much to do.
I'm having the hardest time
motivating myself this year.
Anyway, I purchased some great templates
from The Cutting Cafe.
This box was one.
LOVE their templates.
It comes with an envelope & card template
but I didn't use them.

I completed this layout
a couple weeks ago?
I did some others,
but the pics didn't turn out good.
This pic was taken
on Camryn's 5th birthday!!
She's using this grin for ALL her pics.
Not sure where she got it from?

The girls are going to the
movies with my mil tomorrow.
I'm hoping to exercise,
clean carpet & scrap more.
Not even ready to break out
Christmas decorations yet!!

A Card a Day by PaperCrafts

It's Black Friday,
& I bet a lot of you are out shopping!!
NOT me:)
Me & my 2 girls are home.
I'm actually cleaning
& wanting to scrap.
My desk is a complete mess right now,
so I'll be cleaning it up
& hoping to get some projects completed.
In the meantime,
I got my copy of this magazine in the mail:

I'd been anxiously awaiting it,
as I have 2 cards inside.
One in the month of April
& one in the month of November.
TONS of great inspiration & talent!!
I hope you're having a wonderful Thanksgiving
& if you're shopping,
getting tons of great deals!!
Hopefully I'll have something to share
later today or tomorrow!!

Mary Kay & Christmas gifts

Hey everyone,
I'm still alive
& buried under my own thoughts.
I'm trying to come up with
inexpensive gifts
& ways to make extra Christmas money.

Anyway, a friend of mine is a Mary Kay consultant.
She's offering a good discount
because she just wants to stay active.
So, if anyone was thinking of ordering Mary Kay
for Christmas gifts
or to stock-up on personal make-up items,
please contact me
or leave a comment on this post.
I'll return with an email.

This is NOT a gimic in anyway, shape or form.
Just trying to help a friend
& pass along the savings to anyone else out there
that could use a little savings of their own!!

Have a blessed day!!

CPS 141

Oh wonderful Wednesday,
1/2 way to the weekend
& we just had a 5-day weekend:)
I'm so giddy that Friday
is only 2-days away!!
I so love having my girlies home with me!
So, last night I had the entire night to scrap,
IF I wanted.
And,
I wanted.
BUT,
the juices weren't flowing*sigh*
My first card uses CPS 141
and I actually did it yesterday afternoon.
I have these K&Co Christmas sentiments.
An entire pack to be exact,
that matches the new CC line exactly:)
So, I used it for this card.

This last card is the fruit
of all my labor last night.
Pretty lame, hu?

So, I'm off to work on 4th grade social studies.
We're studying the state of Florida.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
I wonder why?
