mountain of pennies

Marianne has reached her goal, actually she more than tripled it!  And the pennies just keep on coming.  I'm overwhelmed by the response she received.  She filled her bank 3 times already.  We'll keep on collecting up untill the week before Christmas and then we'll bring the mountain of pennies to the babies for Christmas.  That's Marianne's plan. 
The Christmas countdown has officially started in our house a the girls opened the first door in their advent calendar.  I love watching them get excited for what is really just a tiny peice of chocolate.  I hope they never stop being excited for the littles wonders in life. 
And finaly, here is what I came up with for my december project.  I used Mistletoe paper and Magic's Mesmorise layout along with St. Nick and Father Christmas stamp sets.  The big shimmer brads gave the final touch to the layout.

Crazy November

Well, after promising to get blogging sooner, here I am a month later!  I'm so sorry.  It really was a crazy couple weeks.  Halloween parties, followed by my daughter's birthday combined with lots of scrapbooking parties made for some very hectic times.  I would not change it for the world though.  I really had fun.  It really got me thinking of what a great group of people my family is surounded by.  We have amazing neighbors that really feel like family.  Our Halloween block party was a sucess again this year. We also have great friends, some old, and some new,  some which we don't see nearly as often as we would like, but we truly are blessed to have them around.  Choosing and keeping great friends is a skill I want my daughters to learn as it take you so far and makes life so much more fun.  Seeing my daughters interact with their friends at Marianne's birthday party made me realise that they are on the right track.  They are compasionate, energetic, helpfull and so charismatic that other kids all seem to want to be their friend.  It make me so proud!

Now, back to scrapbooking.  Here are a couple projects atht I have worked on. 

This one is another take on the Flip flap project.  I was asked to do a workshop using the flip flaps with autumn colors.  The Olivia Workshop on the go pack was perfect.  I also added som mocha opaques.  I found that the leaves popped more if you scored them in the middle.  They jsut look more natural


This other layout is ready for my Christmas 2010 pictures.  It is my November workshop project.  I used the Mistletoe Creative basics paper with the AdornAble stamp set.  To add the silver, I used embossing powder and the heat setter.  I love the final product. 

Now I won't make promises I know I won't be able to make, but I do know that I have a Christmas workshop that I am hosting on Sunday.  I will have pictures of the finished project on this blog by Saturday night!  Have a nice rest of the week!
