wee tidings

My good friend, Sue, created this line of adorable, clever stationary. This is a sample of a single card. Go to her website: Blue Finch Studios to see more. Right now, you can buy them at a 20% discount using this code: BFSXMAS20. Do it! And by the way, I am proud of her!

got fat?

Yea, this recipe might be full of fat (butter, cream cheese, half n half) but it is SO good. And easy too. Chicken Enchildas. Very mild for the meek Mexican eaters like us, so spice it up if you are a risk taker! Pin It

joy...more joy...and a star

I have gone thru about 400 pics since Saturday. Admittedly, at times it is overwhelming and I feel like I overpromised but now that I have completed the ones that are are to be Christmas gifts, I feel good about it. How can you not feel good about BIG kids holding the letters JOY? Or a picture of my parents' grandchildren (an assortment of them, the ones who were present that day!) all together in one picture? Nobody can take away what we were able to capture that day...and that part is good :) Now, on to my pressing projects: Christmas shopping, checking lists twice, planning dinners, planning parties...and then back to putting the non-surprise photos on disks for the future.

framed monogram pictures

How cool is this? I saw the idea in Real Simple magazine while flipping through pricey magazines at the library. I look, and read, while my kid (s) play, all the while saving a bunch of money on subscriptions but still gaining major inspiration and knowledge. I am a magazine junkie so this helps out...a bit. I still buy and subscribe to a bunch too.

Ok, this idea caught my eye immediately. I rushed home, ignored my family as much as possible last night, and made myself this one, in a frame I already owned. Today, I hit Michaels and got 5 frames for 5 more. Coming soon to a teacher nearby! And a few other worthy recipients.

a picture taking fool

That's me! I have taken a ton over the past 3 days, ending with this sweetie! More to share later of big kids, in all sizes :)
