I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope that it will be full of laughs, friends and family and that you will make some special memories. Best wishes for this joyous time of year!I used Scrap That Idea's Collab - Christmas around the World.


This is a continuation of the other two pages using Armina Designs - Crash Boom Pow kit, Font - CK Comic Book.
This is a combination of kits that I've had for a while and I Love it. Used Urban Fairytales - Wonderland freebie, K Aagards - Sunshine Alpha (recolored), AWP - Where the Heart is for Hearts and Leaves, Tea Cup - Artgal Style, Font - Glider Girls.
We love to go to Bavarian World to buy bread and yummy German Foods. We had just picked up my Mom at the Airport and stopped by to pick up some goodies.

We had so much fun at my husbands Family Christmas Party at work. The kid's had a blast. And isn't this the cutest super hero kit. I had so much fun making this page.
I went down to my husbands work one day went they were setting up for the New York Ballet. They were busy getting ready and usually on those days works 10 to 16 hour days. He comes home whipped but loves his work. Plus he meets so many really great people.
It was fun to see all the behind the scenes stuff that no one ever sees. I couldn't believe how high up from the stage they have to work sometimes. And they went from having a seven man crew to having three. I don't know how they do it.
I sure miss riding my motorcycle on nice days when I see everyone out. I was so lucky in the eight years that I rode. Didn't ever have an accident. There were many close calls usually people didn't see you. My Dad always told me pretend your invisible and have a exit strategy so you don't get hit. Of course when I rode a bike there weren't very many women riders back then so most people noticed me especially if I wore pink. There is nothing like it. You feel like your flying. My friends and I would ride every other weekend all over San Diego County.
Couldn't get the kids any closer to Santa than this and I had to kneel behind them to even get them that close. They would take the candy cane and quickly back up. I told the person taking the photos not to worry that this was good.
We went to the Casino to have lunch and took some cute photos around the beautiful Christmas displays. The kid's did a good job and we rode the train at Circus Circus.
I made this layout of Mom and her grand kids so see could email it to all her German friends for Christmas. We promised a new (small) toy if they did a good job. As you can see someone was not going to smile for any reason not even a new toy.

I just adore this new kit from Vicki at A Work in Progress. You have to click on the preview and head over to her blog and check out all the beautiful layouts by the Scrap That Idea CT's. Wow! I will use this kit again and again. Only did one layout because I was working on final projects for school and studying for my math final. 

Here are my layouts for Stacey's Scraps new kit called "I is for I Love You". I love this one. Great colors and really beautiful papers

And here is the layout I did with this cute Freebie kit that the girls put together. They felt bad that the store was down for so long and decided to give everyone a little something for all their wonderful customers.
My Aunt took this photo of me when she was going to college and I have always loved it. Yes I used to suck my fingers once upon a time. Hee, Hee! I remember going to Germany one summer and in bed one night I realized that I hadn't sucked my fingers in a while so I gave it and try and they tasted awful and they weren't all soft. That was the end of that. I used to sit behind this fuzzy pillow on our sofa while watching Adam 12 with my Dad. Does anyone remember that Police Show?
This is such a cute cute kit. Love all the adorable cowboy elements. I only was able to do one layout but know I will use this again and again. You can check it out along with all the inspirational layouts used with this great kit Here.
This beautiful Heritage kit is from Sweet Blossom Design - His & Her "Days Gone By". You can pick it up Here.


Having Fun making Mom some pretty pages for her Cancer Album. She has scraped some wonderful things so far. An outting to McDonalds with the kid's one Sunday after church.

Mom has a great attitude about her treatments and we have hope...We went one Saturday when she went to get her shot. The kid's watched from a safe distance. Didn't want to get to close because the shot could rub off and they might get one. Ha! Ha! I was so glad when they had Flu Mist instead of a shot this year. Must less traumatic.

Gam came to visit me in Carlsbad CA in the 1990's and I did her make up at the Salon I worked at. She looked so beautiful I had to get a picture.
This was an easy costume for you and you looked so cute. Love the photo in the bathroom mirror. What a fun party we went to.
You had just turned three and didn't quite understand the trick or treat thing. The other kid's would ring the door bell and say trick or treat and you would go into the house and start looking around for toys. It was so cute. Mima had gotten a little Harley Davidson jacket at the Thrift store and you looked so cute with Mommy's old biker scarf.
I forgot about this layout I did a couple of months ago. Don't have to many photo's of me at work. This was a pretty uniform and not to skimpy like some in Vegas. My favorite was the Black Velvet dress I wore when I worked at the Hilton. Cocktailing was a fun job and had very little stress. Maybe a bit if it was really busy. But it was nice to go home and not think about work. Although I did have my share of waitressing nightmares...When our second baby was born I stayed home. My husbands job had very unusual hours and it was so hard to get someone to watch the kids if his schedule changed or the hours were extended. I like being with my children and we do lots of fun things.
We are so excited to have a new grill. The old one I had gotten from my Dad was rusted and only heated on about a quarter of the grill. This one is so incredible. My husband is in heaven and I love grilled food. We made s'mores and the whole family enjoyed one. More than one and you'll throw up. Don't ask me how I know this...
Such a cute picture of you two. Your brother loves you so much most of the time. Had fun with these two mini kits. Just love this photo of our daughter eating a taco. She has the cutest little stinker look on her face. Mima asks if the kid's are going to have a Kathy Sip, named after my childhood friend who would almost finish your soda in one very long sip. Ha!
Absolutely love this kit especially the Alpha. This is a Collab "Say Cheese" between Stacey's Scraps and Mel's Lightblub Moments. You can pick up this freebie on each of their blogs. Go Here for Stacey's part. Check out the Creative Teams wonderful layouts and be sure to leave them some love.
