More Christmas Decors

I can't seem to snap out of lethargy...I have always loved the Christmas season and all the activities that go with it (the decorating, the shopping, the gift wrapping, food planning, the reunions/parties, etc.). This year, however, I went about these activities minus the excitement and enthusiasm. Could it be age catching up on me? The hard times? Still...there is a semblance of Christmas in our home.

Christmas Decor

Every year, we have a color motif for our Christmas decor. Last year, it was blue and silver. This year, it's red and gold (mostly). What I do is recycle what we already have since I don't want to spend anymore for decors. I was looking for something different and then saw my paper scraps, old embellies and extra photos...here is what I came up with:

















Thanks for looking!

My First Calendar

What do you know...today is exactly one month after my last blog entry!

Thanks to the Anniversary Celebration of Lasting Impression last Saturday (15 November 2008), I was able to complete a mini-calendar. It was the project of a class I joined and we were supposed to finish it there. But you know me, I'm a super slow scrapper and I cannot really work without all my tools and supplies.

Congratulations and special thanks to Ms. Vivian of Lasting Impression and April who conducted the class.

I had fun making this. Here it is...

I stamped this at the back of each page so I can write the significant date/special occasion for the month.
