Some Christmas Pages

It's that final week of the year where I try and catch up on my scrap booking to conclude the year.  However, I also get a cleaning and organizing bug.  Yesterday I spent an hour and a half cleaning my refrigerator top to bottom so it's like brand new again.  I know, I am crazy...it's just been bugging me.


I know every page is a slightly different style from different kits.  I probably should have coordinated them all.  I just like to experiment with different looks.  Oh well, I still like them all.

Sights, Sounds, & Smells of Christmas

Home Made Caramels

Caramel Corn

Kids Favorite Muddy Buddies

The Magic of the Christmas Tree

Listening to Dad Play Carol of the Bells

I love the sights, sounds, and smells of Christmas.  I want to do a scrapbook page about this....haven't had time yet..so I decided to just do a brief blog.

Addie's First School Play

Addie was "Gloria", the Princess Iffy's handmaiden in her school play entitled "A Hairy Tale".  She did an excellent job.  She has a natural talent for drama!  We wish we could see a little less of the drama at home sometimes if ya know what I mean.  After many long hours of play practice they had a wonderful performance.

Birthday Pages

So Lucky To Have An Awesome Aunt

Addie is so fortunate to have an Aunt who has learned to make fancy cakes.  Addie put in a special request for a birthday cake to Aunt Kara.  It turned out so fun and fabulous!  It not only looked great but tasted great too!  Thanks Kara!

And for Addie's birthday activity she wanted me to teach a little stamp craft to her and all her friends.  So what did we do?  We made little purses of course!  Then we put some candy bracelets and candy lipstick in them.  What more could a girl want?

10 Years Ago Today

Our Adeline was born.

Gotta Try This

Halloween weekend we went down to "The Big Red Barn" in Santaquin. They are one of our customers as you can see by the Victorio Products in the following pictures.  They have one of the cutest shops and farmer's market.  We had to get some more of their fresh apple cider.  It is soooo good!  We also picked up some fresh apples, chocolate covered cherries and cherry jam.  They also have a wonderful ice cream bar (as we treated ourselves to an ice cream treat) and gourmet fudge and candies.  If you are ever headed down south it is a must to stop there! You can see their big red barn right off the freeway.  I feel like I am doing a commercial for them.  Oh well.   Here is their link:
