Happy Holidays!

I hope the holidays are going well for everyone. I know we had a wonderful Christmas here in Mississippi. This was my year to host our annual family breakfast (Mom cooks everything), and add in the Christmas Eve supper, and the Christmas night turkey dinner, and you know I've gained at least 10 pounds!

I'm working on kit prep for the Lasting Memories retreat, and I have a few photos to share. The first is the cover of the birthday mini album, and the second photo contains 3 sneak peeks of the layouts we'll be creating in "Details That Count", a Christmas themed class. I talked to Julie today, and several of the classes for the weekend are sold out, with a waiting list. If you are hoping to order a kit from any of my new classes, call Julie at Lasting Memories, or Emmalie at Crop Paper Scissors in Waco (links on the sidebar). I can't promise these will be available later in the year.

And, the last photo - well, that's Zeke doing what I wish I could do on this overcast, cold day :)

Birthday mini book

I'm waiting on Scenic Route rubons, so this is just a little peek at the birthday mini book. This class also includes a double page spread. I used a Maya Road 5.5"X4.75" chipboard album (5 pages, 10 sides), and KI Surprise papers (love them!) with all the usual goodies - you know, buttons, brads, rhinestones, and glitter! This class is exclusive for Lasting Memories and limited, so if you are interested in a kit, give Julie or Barb a call. I know they will be glad to ship. I'm also kitting this class by the page for ease in assembling without me :)

Little bit of Love

Something about the 70 degree weather we've been having put me in the mood to finish up my "In The Mood For Love" class projects - three 12X12 layouts with Scenic Route Loveland and K&Co glittery goodies :) Click on the photo for a larger view. I think I'm going to "love" this class! Getting excited about my trip to NY. I had so much fun with the Lasting Memories crew earlier this year, and I expect nothing less this time around. Hey, I'll be there on my birthday! Think they will help me celebrate? :D Next on my to do list - birthday mini book! (and my tree isn't finished, and neither is my shopping or my handmade Christmas gifts for my sisters and mother, BUT I've got 12 days until Christmas!")

something is broken at blogger

So when I tried to upload a holiday banner, it looks BAD...let's hope they fix it soon. In any case, no snow here in MS, and not likely to get any either. The closest I get are little snow people that decorate my tree (or half decorate my tree since I'm not finished.)
