I have mine separated in to sections.  

In my card section I have 78.    I scroll through until I'm inspired by something - but I tweak it to make it my own. 

I have 13 recipes and a few craft ideas 

Total is about 125.   Doable. 

 

At a pot luck dinner.   I tease him that he fell in love with the chili I brought and decided that was what he wanted. 
 

Snow belongs in those little glass globes that you shake, admire and put away where you don't have to see it until you are ready. 

That is why we moved from New Hampshire to New Mexico

Hard not to - seems I win a good amount of drawings. 

Total chaos.    I have tiny bits of paper all over the floor from die cuts stuff scattered all over. 

But that is the way it usually is.........
 

Love candy canes. 

I go after Christmas and buy whatever I can find.    I also like the hard candies that you can get in the cans. 

 

WHITE!!!   

I love the soft look of the white lights. 
 

Christmas Day. 

Love making a huge dinner!
 But I want a couple hours between dinner and dessert. 

Some. 

I think I overdosed on ribbons the year I spent hours wrapping gifts and using my glue gun to create ribbon designs on my packages.     

Tonight we're having philly cheese steak with fresh mushrooms, onions and roast beef on a toasted roll with cheese broiled on top.  Tomorrow is chicken cutlets with chicken flavored rice, spinach.  Thursday is chicken fried steak, mashed potato, corn and sliced tomatoes.  I may make some clam chowd...

An acrylic baby blue sweater.   You know - the type that Mama (Vicki Lawrence) wouldn't wear because it's too tacky. 

 

Apple sauce.  Peal and core apples.  Cut into chunks.  Put in slow cooker with a stick of cinnamon.   Let it cook.   That's all there is to it.   Add some brown sugar if you need to - but taste before you do.   Freeze. 
 

New Mexico can also use some extra snow to help our drought.   

I moved to NM to get away from Vermont/New Hampshire sleet and snow - but I'll put up with it to help the drought. 

 

This month I need to make a knitted wrap for my daughter (well started!) and make three matching nightgowns for the grandbabies.    They will get them Christmas Eve.   Then they will take them off (they do not like to sleep in clothes!) But at least they will look cute for pictures! I also want to s...

I'm pretty lucky at winning things.  In January of this year I bought a recliner and a couch from LaZBoy.    I'd been to a few stores and in two of them I felt like I was interrupting the clerk's day.   But at LaZBoy the clerk listened and made great suggestions.    (I'd gone on a bad pain day to he...

I have over 550 pictures for 2013.   I go chronological all the way.   I tried going out of order and it was horrific to the point where I didn't scrapbook for 6 months

I'm putting page protectors on the layouts I have done.    Will have to make a run to Hobby Lobby tomorrow for more as I'm about out.    

Now I have about 550 photos to put in chronological order.   They are in three separate envelopes - one for each girl.   I just need all of them in the same order so I can start 2013.  
 

My goal was to get 2012 albums for all three granddaughters done by the end of August.    I'm DONE!  The baby was born in 2012 so her album is small at 44 layouts The middle was was 2 that year - she has 56 layouts Bump has 48.  Now I have to get the layouts mounted on strap hing albums pages and pu...
