Winter?

This does not look like winter at all. Doesn't it usually snow around this time of year? We had very warm weather the last couple of days, which is unusually warm for January. I put the kids' snowsuits in the car because I still need some snow pictures of them, well without snow it's a little hard :(. Instead of the kids playing in the snow, building snowmen, this is what the kids were doing yesterday:

Yep, they have been raking and picking up leaves instead. They didn't even need a jacket! Come on! I am not the snow lover, but right now I really do miss it. It was gloomy outside all day yesterday. This is what we had to look at around 4 o'clock, just waiting for the rain:

At 12:30 am it was here, the storm that is. It was just slamming against our bedroom window, so hard that it woke me up and I usually don't wake up that easy. I was just lying there waiting for the kids to wake up from it, to my surprise, they slept right through it :) Right now the sun is shining, but it's not supposed to get as warm today. So I wish everyone a wonderful day. Don't forget to scrap :) Happy scrapping everyone!

Target finds!

Let me tell you, those girls over on CKMB are real good enablers. I didn't think I needed those Mailboxes (and I don't) but I absolutely had to have them *lol*. I know our Target here had them, I saw them when I went there a few weeks ago, but I didn't know what to do with them, so I left without them. Well guess what? Yep, I went back and got myself some and I absolutely love them. Haven't done anything with them yet, but I still think they are super cute. That of course wasn't the only thing I bought, this is what I found:

I can't wait to play with all of that stuff. I'll be sure to post whatever I design. So thanks for looking and as always, Happy Scrapping!

All Moments Remembered Online Class

I looked at all the classes that AMR offered on their opening day and since I am not so good with cards, I chose to do that class. Cards are a real challenge for me, but nowadays everything is *lol*.

Anyway, here is the card that Heather made which is absolutely gorgeous:

And here is my try at the whole thing :D :

It's calendar time!

This is a calendar that I made for my Mom and my Mother-in-law for christmas. I haven't had the chance to put pictures on the one for my Mom yet. I have to do that tonight or tomorrow. I made the calendar on Microsoft word and printed it on white cardstock. I decorated the top half of the calendar. At the end of the year I am getting the whole calendar back and will cut the bottom half off and turn it into a "Year in Review" album for them! Right now the calendar is clipped on a clipboard which I decorated so that they can use it as a picture frame at the end of the Year. TFL!

Ans this is the clipboard that the whole calendar clips on to:
