Take a deep breath and relax!






We have officially made it thru the Christmas holidays and we are all still here!! Kids were spoiled rotten of course by Santa and all the family members and are having a great time with sleeping in, playing all day, and no school!!! Just want to share with you some of the joyous pics of the season!

The black and white one is not really holiday related but I soooo had to share with you all the obsession that Averee has when I get the camera out. I barely mentioned the fact that I wanted her to give her sis a kiss and there she sat....right next to her kissing and kissing and kissing......HOW SWEET IS THAT????

One more holiday to go and it is back to life.....back to reality.......and back to normalcy for me! Been a creating machine today and just don't know for sure if I should share any??? How bout a sneak peak at Imagine, Create, Scrap's NEW KITS????? Talk about having everything at your fingertips to just create a ton of goodies! you really must check them out!!!!

Being published in the 2007 Layout Blueprints 2 idea book by Bluemedia Publications

Those are the majors but there have been many other Minors that I have enjoyed throughout the year! But most of all...most important is the pure joy I have gotten out of creating all the wonderful layouts! And the friendships that I have gained on the message boards is just the bestest!!! I love my cyber friends and love to be inspired by them!!! Looking foward to a very prosperous 2007 in life, love, and scrapping!!

Now on with the personals....there is not much to tell except for CHRISTMAS IS ONLY THREE DAYS AWAY! I love to see the look on our kids' faces when they come down the stairs and see what Santa has left for them....love the feeling they have when we go visit all of our family and they 'know" that they will get to play all day long with no rushing!!! After all Christmas is all about the kids, right??? creating has come to an almost standstill here due to the reckless abandonment of my creativity! I stayed up waaaay late two nights ago to finish off the kids' teachers presents and I sure hope that they went over well!! Love to create for others!

Then only three more days of school and break is here....Santa still has some work to do with the stocking stuffers and wrapping and creating and all that fun stuff!! We will see what this week brings us. Kamy is finally feeling better after bi-lateral ear infection and a touch of brochitis.....what a bad spell that was for the whole family! But she is feeling sooo much better now! Off to clean the house and get busy on my piles of laundry!

Just to let you all know.....Kim.....YOU RAWK!!! Ok enuff of the subliminal butt kissing....of course always busy scrapping and taking care of kiddies....covering for the tooth fairy, and all that jazz!
