For several years, my mother-in-law exchanged gifts with her other daughter-in-laws parents during the holidays. Usually for her, it meant she send something crafty and got some cute, thoughtful thing in return. The last couple of years, it had kind of dropped off, so she thought they were done, when suddenly 3 days before Christmas a ham appeared.

Having pretty much exhaused all of her own craftiness, she turned to mine, and asked me to do a calendar like the one I do for her each year, but with pics of my brother and sister-in-law. They had to help us out and send us the pics, so it took a bit of coaxing and time to get all that together, and then get them printed. Then I had to get it all together. We finally got all that done, and so I spent pretty much the last 3 days making this calendar for her, I'm not sure how great my pics will show it, but here it is....let me know what you think.

New Notebook


So, I'm trying to get myself "geared up" for this semester and find a way to get my mind set - and I'm just not getting there. So I decided to use a challenge from My Pink Stamper as inspiration, and even though I have absolutely no time this week, I pretty much literally threw together this project using my two favorite cricut cartridges (Create-A-Critter and Mickey Font) and some Hobby Lobby papers. At least this way I have something a litte bit cute to take with me Monday morning . I've been back in college for a year now, but Monday will be the first class I have to attend in person - so far all my classes have been online. I haven't stepped foot in a classroom in almost 20 years and I am pretty nervous.


Let me know what you think of my notebook!
