Dec & Jan

We had a great Dec. card class. We made a really nice card. We used an embossing folder and a matching stamp to create the background. I really like this process. I didn't buy it because it was holly for Christmas and I have enough Christmas stuff but would love to have some others.
We also made a nice little bag with a snowman on it and packs of hot chocolate in it. I gave it to a really sweet teacher at school that always gives me little things.
We had a wonderful Christmas. Alex and Jessica were here for Christmas dinner on Christmas day. Brooke & Adam came with the boys the day after Christmas. They are so adorable. Jack would turn on the tree every morning as soon as he got up and turn it off whenever we left the house or when he went to bed. Bennett is so darn cute. He laughs and smiles all the time. We really had a great time with them. We took them to a new playground in Temple Terrace that Alex told us about. They had a great time.


Card class in January was really great. We made two beautiful cards. We used dies to make some of the elements. I bought the fence die.

During Christmas break I finally got Mrs. Wimberly's present finished. She is my principal and is becoming a grandma for the first time this spring. I made her an acrylic album. Here are pictures of some of the pages. Obviously, the baby is a girl.




I think it turned out really nice.
Right now I am still working on my album for our trip to France last summer. I am using my Creative Memories StoryBook album maker. They have a new version out, StoryBook 4 , and I uploaded it last night. I need to spend Monday and Tuesday finishing the album. We have Monday off, thanks to MLK, and Tuesday is a work day which I am taking off along with most of the teachers at my school. We need a 4 day weekend break.
