Busy at Birds of a Feather!

I was thrilled to have transitioned to a new scrapbooking forum where this past weekend they kicked things into gear with a blog hop, a crop, and a bingo game!  This chicks really know how to have fun at Birds of a Feather Kit Co.  Here is everything I made beginning Friday to Sunday!

 

Heritage Intermediate Christmas Program

A little bit of HO HO HO!

I joined a new scrapbooking community at Birds of a Feather Kit Co.  This month they have the 12 Days of Christmas challenge.  There are 12 different challenges.

Day one is a Christmas Card given to someone who wouldn't expect it:

 Day two is to use plain paper sacks and use them for gifts.  The one on the left is for Bel, the lady who cleans our hojme twice a month.  In it will be a set of monogrammed notecards and on the right, I used this sack for the hostess gift for a Christmas party we went to on Saturday.

 

These are the notecards for Bel that will go in the sack on the left above.

 

Come join the community.  This weekend will be some crop challenges, Bingo, and a blog hop.

FInding a New Scrappy Home...

I am playing along with Birds of a Feather Kit Co. They have a nice forum with monthly challenges.  Next weekend they are having challenges, a blog hop, and bingo.  I have always been kind of a challenge junkie.  Why don't you join us?

 

New Scrappy Forum Wanted and Some Stuff to Share!

 

This are the last of my scrappy goodies for Scrap-Friendzy.  Sadly, they have decided to close the forum.  I have so enjoyed the time I have spent there over the last 2 years or so.  I will miss the fun and the daily inspiration for sure!  If you are on a forum that is fun and down to earth, please let me know what it is so I can join you all.  I find that online communities really help me stay connected and creative!

 Now these next two pictures are of Riley's very first dance, the Winter Semi-Formal.  He is a freshman this year.  He is a bit petrified as you can see here but quite a handsome young man!  So quiet that you might think he was saving his breath or his voice for something, lol.

Keeping busy and some Holiday Fun!

So for Thanksgiving I made a bit of a centerpiece:

 It was quickly changed to this for the Christmas season:

 Which led me to our Christmas card photo:  SILENT NIGHT.....lol

 And of course some more of my scrapbook layouts:

 Mom...I am so proud of you...LOOK HOW HAPPY YOU ARE!

More Goodies to share!

Yep, My MOJO has stayed with me this week and boy did I get alot accomplished:

A set of cards for "you know who...."

 This page of my family with my mother and her special "friend", Jim:

 Another set of cards for "you know who":

 And a thank you card to send out:

And one I forgot that i completed...Nicholas from last year's halloween!

For you, Mom...it has been a while here!

My mother pointed out that it has been nearly a year since i posted on my blog so I better get it back up and running again!  I haven't done a layout since FEBRUARY!  I lurk on the ScrapFriendzy forum all of the time but never seemed to have any time or mojo until this past Sunday when WHOA!  Look out.......I did these since Sunday, and even did a set of cards (shhhhhh....mom can't know that yet!)
