Happy National Scrapbooking Day!!

finally posting my holiday decor.
(missing my main tree, chandelier and swag..odd
the pictures didn't load.....i'll update later tonight)

these are my babies trees.
got them last year after xmas for 1.59 each!!
it was fun to decorate them. I forgot the hooks and
just used mini clips to put the mini bulbs on.
The 2008 glittered box is actually from my niece's
graduation party. I made her that box for guests to
put her graduation cards/money in and i saved it from
being tossed to use just for this little tree.

You guys should have seen the look on Jaden's face when
he saw the transformers on it.... at first he loved
it then realized they weren't new, but his own toys
and said "but mommy, i want to play with them!!!"

So last night, while I was wrapping gifts, i got
caught up watching "The Bishop's WIfe" an old 1940's
black and white holiday movie. I'm notorios for
fast forwarding movies but i let this one ride all
the way through. It had so many little moments where
i smiled and wished i lived during that more simple time.
Watch it if you can, and Cary Grant is an eternal hottie.
Then I watched "The Family Stone" and SJP's role as
Meridith is so anoying in that, i want to slap her
everytime she speaks!! HA! It's def not a traditional
christmas movie, but it's good.

it's totally blowing my mind that xmas is just 5 days away.
still need 4 more gifts to fetch plus i need to get all the
baked goods supplies that I will be making on Monday and
tuesday. Peppermint Bark, Rocky Road, Toffe and Nut Bark,
cupcakes, cookies, brownies, rice crispies, lemon bars...

...oh goodness,

i dread it but endup having fun at the end and there's
the eating part. lol

I've been getting excited to see the American Idol 8
commericals that are running on FOX! OH YEAHS! and
BTW, where the heck is Kelly Clarkson?

peace love and everythang.
