Happy Birthday Jesus

 

 

Have a safe and wonderful Christmas.  Cherish the memories you make with your family and remember why we have this time of year.  :)

 

 

Can you say Crazy?

I am tired of apologizing for my blog absences. So I am going to make one more blanket apology for the last couple of days and any future days to come in which I neglect my blog.

I am sorry. :)

Boy I don't know about y'all but I feel better.

So here is a run down of thing that have been going on with me.

• Saturday - Christmas get together at my Daddy's house.
• Saturday evening - Fussing with Syd about the fact that she did not clean like she said she would for get together for her friend the next day. In turn she did not get to go to a special someone's house. Sorry Sydie, but that is life. I love you though. :)
• Saturday evening - My MIL had to take her Mother to emergency room thought she had pneumonia, but it's bronchitis. Everything is fine. (Stacy call me and I will fill you in)
• Sunday - Church
• Sunday after church - Christmas at my MIL
• Sunday afternoon - Take a bunch of Syds friends to ambush Syds Friend Jess, for her birthday and take her blindfolded to Santa's Village. (It was freezing!!! Literally felt like the North Pole. Its was like 70 the day before. Welcome to weather in North Alabama)
• Sunday evening - After our fingers and toes fell off at Santa's Village, we went and saw a movie. Can everyone say "Twilight"! Third time people Third time.
• Sunday night - Took four of the six girls to go run amuck in Target.
• Sunday night - Took the girls to do something I can not mention on the grounds that it might incriminate me.
• Monday here I am at work :)

Hey I also wanted to show you this cute little decoration I got at a craft fair the other day.

Shoot, never mind, I accidentally erased those pictures. :( I will take some more and show you later.

So here are some random pictures of my tree.

I took these pictures through those glasses that make shapes in the lights. Isn't that cool!!!

And as I stepped back to take pictures of the tree from top to bottom, this is what I got.........

Tree tip for next year -

If you want a taller tree, don't go buy one. Build a box to stand it up on. We have a 9 1/2 foot tree up on a 1 1/2 foot box. Thus lifting it off the ground making the tree taller and giving you more room for presents underneath.

Your Welcome :)

Oh and by the way, if I have not been to visit your blog, its mainly because I had to hit "mark as read" in my reader. There were over 500 blog post in there, and there was just NO way. :)

Poof!!!! Its a Spoof!!!!!

 

If you have not watched the movie "Twilight", or read the book, you may not get these videos.   They are absolutely hilarious though if you have!!!

I don't think Syd and I have laughed so hard in forever!

If you have already seen them, watch them again.  If you have not seen them, watch them now.

 

 

 

Santa C

 

That's what he was called in my little hometown.  Not sure why he called himself Santa C, but I will tell you he was a very realistic Santa.  I think it may have actually been THE SANTA!!!!  One Christmas Eve I even asked for his signature when he came and left the presents.  I had a paper set out and everything for him to sign.  One of his elves that help him must have forged his name though, because it was not the same signature that was on the picture he had autographed for me a few weeks before that.

Robin looks like she is about to cry.  She is right on the edge of hysteria.  Biting her lip, arms ready to reach out for Mama, tears welling up in her eyes. 

Now notice the next year, or maybe it was two years later, I don't remember.  My hair is way longer, I have on a hideous shirt that says "hustle", and Robin is no where to be found.

For more Fro me to You Christmas fun, go over to

Kristen's at We are THAT Family.  :)

Is everybody out there finished with there Christmas shopping?  Well I'm not.  :[

A,B,C,D,E..........

A few weeks ago Chris at Just a girl, had this party, about easy projects that even I can do. While visiting all the Mr. Linky links, I came across this really cool idea from Andrea at Big Creek Cottage. I said to myself, "Self that is so stinkin cute, you have got to try it!". So I did, tonight, cause I needed to get away to my crafty happy place. That lasted all of five minutes before someone (Syd) found me and started repeating over and over and over again, "So you got any projects you want me to work on! Huh, huh, do ya, do ya!!!!!" My happy place was lost. :( I ventured on though and finished MY project. :)

You will need the following items:

A canvas board thing (yes I do know what I am doing, sorta) I used an 8 x 10, but you could go smaller if you wanted.

Initial of choice, blown up to size of choice to be traced on canvas of choice

Tracing paper (grey, not white, believe me white does not work on white)

Lots of crayons

Now I took the letter and lined it up oh so carefully (eyeballed) on the Canvas with the tracing paper in between

It should leave chosen initial on chosen canvas

Now here is the tricky part. Cut the crayons to fit your initial. The tricky part is deciding what piece should go where, and which way, and which color.

When your done, it should look a lot better than mine, but this was my first time and Syd approved so I guess it was all right. Also as you noticed I have the teachers name beside the initial. I traced that also and then went over it with a paint pen. I framed it in a shadow box frame, because I was afraid of the crayon's getting hit and knocked off. You could just use a frame with no glass if you wanted to. Whatever floats your boat.

All in all this was a very easy and quick project. I give it two thumbs up!
