CHRISTMAS is Here Early on My Little Blog YAY!!!!

Well ya'll, it looks like Christmas is here before the turkeys even out of the oven LOL!!! Ever since my little guy had this photo taken he's been asking me every five minutes, is it Christmas yet, is it Christmas yet, is it time to put up the tree Momma, can we put up the tree PUUULLLLEAAASSSE?? OMG!!!! I'm about to pull my hair out. I finally told him tonight, when Momma cooks the turkey, our tummies are full and we clean up the kitchen, THEN we put up the tree. He's the PERFECT age for that last magical Christmas. By next year, I'm sure he'll have been educated about the validity of Santa LOL. Can't you just SEE the excitement in his little eyes and smile ROTF!! I loove it when they're this age.
I made his little page using goodies from Kim Broedelet's December Grab Bag and the overlay from Jen at Chaos Lounge's "Whimsical Winter" kit.

Whimsical Winter and a Freebie

This is going to be an odd post for me, a quick one LOL. Usually I spend about an hour jabber jawing and playing around in here, but I gotta get my tail end in bed pretty quick. It's waaaaaay past my bedtime. But, I just had to get on and tell ya'll about Jen at Chaos Lounge's AWESOME new kit "Whimsical Winter" and YAY!! On sale 45% off until next Sunday. I looove it!!! Here's a page I've made using it.I looove looove love all the sparkly goodies, especially the overlays. I think I snuck in as many as I could on my page LOL. Jen has many different colors though, not just the the blue so here's a little peek at what's inside. I just found out she drew the snowmen herself ya'll. How cool is that!!!
After I made the first layout, I decided to play with it a bit more and made it into a QP. You can snag it at the end of this post. Here's my handsome boy and his sweetie at the prom, a "Winter Wonderland" theme I might add so it was PERFECT for this kit. I have sooo many pictures from prom. After Wendy sees hers, I already know, those teens are going to keep me busy for weeks ROTF!!!! The girls loooove these little "goodies" I make for them.
My daughter and I were "cloud" watching today and we seen this little guy sneeking by so she grabbed the camera and took a pic. Can you see him? I'm not gonna tell you where he is, you'll just have to go "cloud watching" with us LOL!!! I can't believe she caught him. He was rolling along pretty fast even though he's looking kinda lazy here ROTF!!!
Ok, I'm logging off this thing now, got a busy busy day tomorrow. I see I've had a lot of visitors this week. YAY!! How cool is that!!! Thanks sooo very much for stopping by ya'll.

This is the first page I did with it. My mom, Aunt, AND Uncles birthdays are all this month. I've had so many birthdays these past couple of weeks, I'm gonna need a month to recouperate LOL!!! I wanted to give them each something special, so I made a couple pages using these old photos I found. This one is all the siblings and a neighbor child, whom they still can't figure out who he is LOL!!!
This is my grandparents on their honeymoon. The photo was in pretty bad shape but I still wanted to use it so I played around with a few filters to make it a little better. I don't think it turned out too bad and now we have a restored (kinda LOL) photo.

Ok Ya'll, I have a VERY VERY SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!!! It's Kim Broedelets Birthday YAAAAAY!!!! MWUAH MWUAH MWUAH!!!!! For those who don't know her, Kim is a beautiful and special lady. She's one of the kindest people I've had the privilage to meet in this scrapbooking world. I knew NOTHING about blogging when I made my first layout and got up the nerve to start a blog and post it. I was sooo proud when Kim stopped by to say Hello that next morning. I will never ever forget that and how special and proud she made me feel that day and each time there after she visited. Another proud day was when not much later, she shared her newest kit at the time "Softly Sweet" with me, my first RAK before I even knew what a RAK was ROTF!! Kim, you have found a place in my heart forever and ever. Big smooch and hugs to you!!! I hope you have a WONDERFUL day!!!! Be sure to listen to "Kind and Generous" on my playlist. That song is dedicated to you!!! Happy Birthday Lady!!!

Each of us has posted our share on our blogs. A little farther below in this post, you can find my part and the links for the rest. We also sent in our pictures for a "Birthday Layout". Beth from Beth by Design made this AWESOME one with all our pictures on it. Isn't it tooo cool!!!
