I love this time of year...a few days before Christmas. I have a list of things to do and a short time to get everything done. I enjoy late nights finishing up that last scrapbook (as a gift) or wrapping gifts. I usually rent movies around this time and try to squeeze that in too.
I have our "scrap tree" finished! This year I needed a child friendly tree since it was in the play room. I decided to make all of our ornaments with the kids. I then got the scrappy idea to put photos on the tree. I scrap everything so why not our tree? I alter boxes, clocks, purses, why not the tree? Most of the photos were of Disney but my favorite picture is one of Rockapella Scott and Victoria. If it were up to me, it would probably would have been a "Rockapella scrap tree" but I don't want to push that with Willy. He has been a good sport about me going to shows and I don't want to over do it. Anywho, I love the tree!
My friend Wendy had a snake in her house this year which she caught and removed with the help of another mom friend! Her blog had a statement to the effect of "Amazing what two determined moms can do." That statement was my motto last night as I became DETERMINED to take a Christmas card photo of the kids. Willy has David's virus so he wasn't any shape to help. I got the kids bathed, dressed in Christmas best, and as usual, chaos ensued. I did get my photo, got them printed and less than 24 hours later, they were mailed today! I am proud of myself! Sorry the cards are late! If only I could clean the house and cook all the goodies I intend to make in the next 24 hours!
