Elf on the Shelf...

They are popping up in EVERYONE's homes!  I see them all over facebook, and people are talking about them in the stores. 

I had no idea what it was until I talked with my friend who had one for her daughter.  Once I understood the concept, 

I decided I should get one for my munchkins. 

Well, Skye reinforced that one day when she says to me..."Mama, why hasn't an elf come to our house? Everyone has an elf except us. 

 Does that mean that we are bad kids?"  

"NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!  That does not mean that at all!" I told her.  It just means we haven't found our elf yet.  He is probably hiding somewhere in the house.  Those little guys are pretty mischievous you know."   She giggled and said..."I bet he is hiding in my room.  It would be pretty hard to find him in there."  NO KIDDING IT WOULD BE HARD! 

I took that opportunity to 'pursuade' her to clean her room and maybe she will find him. (Horrible I know...but it worked!!)  

So, I took that cue and set out to find our own "Elf on The Shelf".  

Unfortunately, NO ONE in our area had one with the book!  

They are so popular that the stores can not keep them in stock this year!

OH NO!!!!!  What am I going to do now???

Well, I will tell you what I did.

I improvised!

I called my friend and asked her if I could borrow just her book so that I could read it to the kids, and I found ONE...yes...ONE plush elf that I could buy alone.

Not even kidding about the popularity of these little guys!

Well, last night was his first night with us, and the kids named him Homer.

Now, I knew Skye and Dayne would love having him, but Aubrie, Chance and Tamon surprised me with their interest!   That is all they talked about last night until bed...was their elf and the things he might do each night while they are sleeping.  Of course The older kids know...but they said it is fun anyway because it is like a game.

Chance said...instead of "Where's Waldo" it is "Where's Homer?"

They are playing along and even encouraging Skye and Dayne to "Believe".

I love that my kids are so great!

So, last night, Homer did not report back to Santa. 

He had a long trip to get here, so he rested and will report back tonight.

This morning, Chance came INTO MY ROOM at 5 am to wake me up to tell me that he found Homer.!!!!!!!  LOL.  He also said that there is a note with him.  I said..."Did you read it???"

He told me what it said, and that he liked it and that the kids would love it. "Mom..you had a good idea." 

AWWWW...seal of approval from my 13 year old! 

When the other 3 got up...they FIRST thing they did was start looking for Homer.

I sat down at the computer to check emails and this is what I found on the desktop...it was a "CLUE" left for them from Tamon. I don't quite understand it...but I thought it was sweet that he is even playing along! 

Where is Homer?

In a case

Where Christmas isn’t marry

Where else for you to find me

But in a place

That Christmas is most tharey

The camera is the only to see

Aubrie was the first to find him after about 15 minutes of searching.  I told her not to tell Skye and Dayne, but to maybe help them out with clues. 

She did and they FINALLY found him!

He was perched on one of the branches of the Christmas tree....

Homer had set up my camera on it's tripod and took a few pics of himself!  See the remote button in his hands?  That mischievous elf!  


I think we are going to have fun with Homer this year.  :)


I did get a little layout done last night, too. 
I saw the sketch on the Prima blog and COULD NOT RESIST. 
Here is the sketch for this month:

And here is my take on it:

"I Do Believe"

I stayed pretty true to the sketch.  I used a circle for the shaped background, though.  I loved the background paper that I chose and did not want to cover it completely with that larger shape.  Where it calls for 3 photos, I used one larger one that I cut into 3 sections.  Skye in one, then Santa, then Kylie. 

If you look closely, you will see the tiny bell up on top of the pic...it is there to represent the Christmas Bell.  Skye told Santa that She can still hear the bells ring! OMGoodness...to stinkin' cute, I thought!  I just had to scrap it.   Here are a few close ups:

 I added the pocket behind the picture for my journaling.

The bell and the music notes to represent the jingling.  I cut the music notes from my cricut with plain black cardstock and then covered them all with Glossy Accents.  That stuff is flippin' AWESOME!

I truly love this layout.  I think it encompasses the sheer innocence of childhood...and the fact the we ALL need to believe in something!

Thanks for stopping by today. 

Keep an eye out for more of Homer's adventures!  

Have a Fantabulous Day!

Believe in the Magic...

Do you still believe in the Magic of Christmas?

I do.  

Well, not in the same way as I did when I was a kid, of course.

But I do still believe in the magic.

I see it in the faces of the children when they see Santa for the first time, or see the magnificence of outside lights all lit up, and when they get that one special gift on Christmas morning.

Christmas is my favorite time of year for many many reasons. 

One of them is depicted right here in this photo...

This is Skye with her friend and they are both chatting it up with Santa...telling him all the things they want for Christmas. 

I loved that I caught this...The look on poor Santa's face! LOL..

These 2 girls bombarded him and he had no chance!  

They booth took over the conversation and he didn't get a word in edgewise!  

Oh...the wonderment of two 6 year old girls! LOL

I actually caught several pics...but I really think this was my favorite!

Dayne wanted to go with us, too.

I DID NOT make him...he asked if he could go. 

Tamon and Chance stayed at home with the Grinch...I mean Joe.

Aubrie and her friend Ally went too, but their pics did not turn out so good! LOL

This is the photo I got of Dayne...

He looks like he was forced to do it! LOL...

I think he was just a little be nervous and changed his mind once we actually got there. 

Y'all help me come up with a caption for this one! LOL

And here is Skye alone...

Today was my birthday, and I don't think I could have spent it better than this! 

Love the photos and the time spent together!

When we got home, it started raining like crazy, so we spent the rest of the day curled up on the couch watching Christmas movies and sipping hot chocolate.

YUM! 

Can't WAIT to scrap these photos!

Hope your weekend was fantastic!

And...since I can't send you all Christmas cards...Here is your virtual card handmade by me! LOL

Here is the project that I created for this challenge:

The inside is filled with silver, gold, and turquoise styrofoam balls

 that I cut off of a Christmas floral.

This is another of the handmade gifts that I said we were

 going to be making this year.

Mom, Mama, Mommy....

Today, I spent a few minutes browsing some of my favorite blogs for inspiration and came across a challenge on the Bo Bunny Blog that was just screaming out my name!

It is their Layout Friday Challenge and this time, the theme was ME! 

Here is the exacts of the challenge:

A DAY IN YOUR LIFE CHALLENGE
Create a 2 page layout about an ordinary, routine day in your life.
We want to see what one day in your life looks like.
Your layout should include photos and journaling/wording

Well, I still had a bit of my favorite line "Olivia" so I decided to play along.

The BIGGEST challenge is the 2 pager!

But...it actually came together quite nicely for me.

Since my day consists of 5 munchkins calling my name ALL THE TIME...

I appropriately titled this one 

"Mom, Mama, Mommy"

Unfortunately, my printer quit working on me, so I had to make do with just photos that I had on hand. 

They are not the best quality because they are from my phone.

However, they worked perfectly for this challenge!

My main photo is one of my kids since I start and end every day with them.  I also included a pic of my phone, sunglasses, and a Diet Dr. Pepper.  

these 3 things are ALWAYS with me.  

Well, usually it is a diet coke, but that pic was taken a few months ago when I was on a Diet DP kick. 

I also included a pick of my daughters' backpacks.  This represents the trek to and from school every day, homework, and the fact that they have piled them into the chair in my living room...which is a constant battle!  LOL  I also have a pic of my 9 year old son reading to me.  You can't see it very well, but he is in there.  He is reading the Harry Potter series...and this was the 2nd or 3rd book. He is now on the last of the series.   I don't have a pic of my husband on hand to include, but I do end every day with a kiss from him.  That is in my journaling even though there is not a pic.

Below are a couple of close-ups.  I used a dowel rod on the ends of the journaling paper to make it look like a scroll.  I really liked how this turned out.  I also used a mesh ribbon and spritzed it in order to create the cross hatch pattern.  I also broke out my handy dandy border punches for this one.  LOVE my punches!

I haven't scrapped in what seems like forever, and I think I am a little rusty!   It won't be long and I will be back in the groove!  LOL

Thanks for the inspiration Bo Bunny Team!!!! 

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look today.  Have a fantabulous day!  

Giving from the Heart...

--So often, Christmas gets commercialized and turned into a race for 

the "best deal" on Black Friday. 

--So often, we forget why we celebrate, or even WHO we are celebrating.

--So often, we get lost in the hustle and bustle of the holidays that we forget to 

stop and focus on the little things.

NOT THIS YEAR.

This year, I am making it a point to stay focused on the little things.

One thing that I am focusing on is MAKING Christmas gifts rather than buying the pre-fabed store bought junk. 

This year, I am going to be Giving Gifts from the Heart.

My 5 munchkins and I  will be hand making our gifts this year.

I will try to feature each one as it is completed...Notice I said TRY! LOL

We are going to start with this:

Flower Clippie Bouquet

This will be a fun gift for any little girl who likes to wear hair jewelry.

This one is going to be going to my 5 year old niece.

Supplies:

Santa's Magic Key

Is the most magical key ever!

Do you have an inquisitive toddler who is wondering how Santa will bring all the presents on Christmas Eve...if you don't have a chimney? 

Well, guess what...

Santa doesn't need a chimney!

He has his own key!

It is genius!

I made this key door hanger for the Clean and Simple Challenge over on the Really reasonable Ribbon blog.    

You simply get any old key, or, I used a golden key ornament that I bought at Wal Mart.  You print out the poem, attach it all to a big gorgeous ribbon and hang it on your door knob on Christmas Eve!

No More Questions and no more having to come up with creative answers! LOL

Here are a few links with various versions of the the poem...

Santa's Key #1

Santa's Key #2

Santa's Key #3

And here is the exact one that I used on mine...

Our stockings hang upon a wall.
We have no fireplace at all!
You see the problem is quite clear.
Santa, how will you get in here?

We heard a legend. Is it true?
Of magic only you can do.
We'll leave out any plain old key,
and mark it "Santa" so you can see.

Your magic makes the key fit right,
so you can get inside that night.
Thank you Santa, here's our key.
The milk and cookies are on me!

Now, Head on Over to the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog and Check out what the rest of the team made for this challenge!

A Star is Born!

LOL..

Well, something like that!

**Scroll down for the blog hop**

Here my munchkin wearing her Christmas bow and dress.

She looks so sophisticated to me! 

I can't believe that she is only 6!

Head on over to the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog

LOL.  She gets just as excited about the ribbons in the Club Assortments as I do now! 

This month, the ribbons screamed BEAUTY and ELEGANCE.  

And here is the bow that I created:

I can not wait to find the perfect matching holiday dress

This Month, Bonnie has put together a GORGEOUS array of Christmas beauties 

to jumpstart our Holiday Spirit....

OMGoodness!  

Can't you just imagine all the gorgeousness that can be created with this???!!!

I fell in absolute L*O*V*E 

Christmas is my favorite time of the year....

The sights, the smells, the smiles, the tastes...

And the list goes on and on.

It is a time of the year that many of us stop and let the world bustle around us

while we savor the moments given to us to be with our family. 

 I am one of those people.

I am also one of those crazy Moms that likes to be all "Matchy~Matchy" 

with my family at our holiday functions. 

Nuts...I know...but it sure makes for some pretty pictures! 

SO, due to my obsessive nature, I felt compelled to make not just a Bow of the Month for your all today, 

but a head band and a clippie to match!!  

Here is the Bow of the Month...

I think I am calling it "Mrs Clause"  LOL.

Skye brought this mini ornament to me and wanted me to put it in her bow...

so I obliged!  lol. 

And here is a Christmas Tree clippie.

THis is SUUUUUPER easy to make...

And here is Aubrie's headband...

It kind of reminds me of the Christmas ribbon candies.

The bow is HER addition...

she said it HAD to have the bow because when she wears it....

She is a "Gift" and all good gifts are tied with a bow.  

I think she is a little full of herself...but hey...what do I know!!?? LOL

I hope I have given you a little bit of inspiration today.  I always LOVE the Ribbon Club Assortment,

but this month was my favorite.  I think I may be a bit partial to Christmas though! 

Your next stop in the hop is at the super talented Connie!

I KNOW you are going to love what she has in store for you!!!

This month's Ribbon Club Assortment is Magnificent!

Packed with Lime greens, Black, Orange and a touch of purple,

this is a fantastic assortment that is PERFECT for your Halloween projects!

So, this month, I decided to make a Halloween bow for my daughter. (Surprised? LOL)

For my  "Bow of the Month", I decided to use EVERY ribbon at least once.  

It was a challenge at first trying to decide how to place each ribbon.  As I was contemplating placement, I had a light bulb moment!

I decided to make spikes and spirals using ALL of the ribbons and then throw it together and see how it comes out.

Well, It came out GREAT!

I added in a little bit of lavender and purple ribbon and some lavender boa feathers.

I wanted to hide it from Skye and surprise her with it and a super cute Halloween outfit, but then, WHO would have modeled it for us????

Now, This bow was SO easy to make, that I put together a little tutorial for it!

Make sure you check that out tomorrow!

Your next stop in this blog hop is Connie.

Puppy Love....

Is certainly the sweetest kind of love for any little girl!I captured this super sweet photo of my littlest and her puppy one day after she came home from school.Ever since school started back again, poor Chewy has been going through withdrawls!Seriously!  He paces the hallway, barks at closed bedroom doors, and whines and whimpers as he lays in front of the door waiting for the kids to return home.Each day, when the kids get home, he is over come with joy, wagging his whole body and bouncing all around.   I can actually SEE his smile!

Head on over to the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog to see what all I used in this layout.

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you all have a Fantastic Holiday weekend!

YOU RULE!!!!

Yep...that's what I told him...He is gonna rule the school! LOL

I have a super confident 8 (almost 9 year old) who just started 3rd grade. 

He picked out all of his own school clothes, and requested that I take pics of him in all of his new outfits!

OMG!  This is a boy...and he WANTS me to take pictures??? 

Of COURSE I jumped at that chance! LOL.

So, here is a layout using Jillibean Soup and some Really Reasonable Ribbon...

Now, I only used a couple of the pics that I took, so I could play along with the Jillibean sketch challenge for August...

I actually took quite a few photos of this crazy kid!

He told me this morning,  "Mom...I bet I am the cutest kid in 3rd grade.  I mean...ALL the girls think I am."

Seriously??? He is only in 3rd grade!  Lord Help me!!!!! :) :) :)

Here is the Jillibean Sketch that I used:

...And it is about school starting because "Back to School" marks the end of Summer for millions of kids every year...and There is an "End of Summer" blog hop going on over at Really Reasonable Ribbon this weekend!  Head on over and play along!  There is a HUGE prize to be won!

Well, I am off to a "Back to School" parade at my little ones' elementary.

Remember how sad I was back in June when school ended 

and we were re-zoned to a new school?

Well, it seems I worried for nothing. 

We do miss the wonderful people at our old school, BUT, there are some FANTASTIC people at the new school as well. 

And, this parade thing...AWESOME! 

(I am as excited about it as the kids are!)

I will have pics to share from the first week of school soon. ;)

Till then, Have a FANTABULOUS weekend!

Keep It Clean!

The newest challenge is up on the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog.  

This time, the challenge is to keep it CLEAN!

Here is my creation for that challenge...

I made a "Clean" card to say hi...

and the bloom doubles as a hair clip!

Head on over to the Really Reasonable Ribbon to check out the details on how you can enter. 

It is super easy and FUN!

Hope of see some of you playing along!

Thanks for visiting me...and have a FANTABULOUS day!

Back to school already???

WOW.  It seems like the summer just started, and now they are getting ready to go back.  I have spent my last week preparing for the kids to go back on Monday.

They are all registered, schedules in hand, supplies in back packs, clothes washed and ready, and we have even met some of the teachers.  (I feel it is important to have a working relationship with the people I trust with my kiddos for 8 hours every day!)  

But am I ready?

Am I ready to send them back...all five of them to a NEW school.

All five gone ALL DAY LONG.

I realized today that I am not.

I have always had a "little one" at home even when the rest started school.  

I do not have that little one any more....she is in FIRST GRADE!!!!

I had to do something to "cheer me up" and get me ready for the pending school year.

What did I do???

I SCRAPPED!

And I really love what I did.

I started at the Imaginisce site and pulled this sketch for the August challenge....

I have just received my package filled with Imaginisce goodies, and I needed to play!

I know I am probably not eligible to win...but I like to play along anyway! :)

Hope you Imaginisce ladies don't mind! ;)

Here is a layout of my "Little One" and her love for all things ART.

"She's Crafty"

I used the BRAND NEW line from Imaginisce... 

"Geek is Chic"

LOVE LOVE LOVE the colors and embellies!!!!

I hand cut the little paper doll garland.  It is one of Skye's favorite things to do...to create "snowflakes" and "paper dolls" on chains!

I used a large Kraft envelope and "filled" it with art supplies...

scissors die cut with a glam rock center, chipboard ruler, paper clip, and a broken pencil and broken crayon tips all fill her "art pouch".

***You can't even tell they are broken though, can you!!  Ha! LOVE ART!!! lol

I even hand cut the heart and the banner.  I wanted everything to be "authentic" art....ya know?

I had a LOT of fun doing this, and it truly was scrap "Therapy".  I did start feeling a little better about sending them all off for another year of school.  I mean...WHO AM I to deprive this girl of her insatiable love for ART!??  :)

So, tomorrow we will take care of last minute things, finish buying supplies and shoes, and in essence, finish DRAINING our bank account DRY! (AGH!)

Have you finished all of your school shopping?  

Good luck with it if you haven't!  

Thanks for stopping by and visiting me...

And have a FANTABULOUS weekend!!!

LOLOL...but you knew that right????

Well, it is not just ANY bow...

What is the hottest  tiny and BLUE thing right now?

I saw this assortment and just HAD to make a Smurfette bow for Skye to match her Smurf shirt. The various tones of blue were perfect for Smurfette!

And of course, Miss Skye absolutely ADORED it.  

she was more than willing to model it for us!

Have a Fantabulous Weekend!

MIA...

I know I have been MIA this last week.  There is a reason for it though.  My Aunt has been put on hospice and has merely weeks left to be with us.  We got the news and it really upset my Mom.  It is her oldest sister.  The last couple of years have been very hard on My Aunt.  She has lived her entire life with diabetes, and it is finally taking it's toll on her body.  She has had both legs amputated and was put on dialysis  a few months ago.  Even though we knew it was coming, it is never an easy thing to deal with.  Once reality set in, my Mom realized that she is losing another sister.  There were once 8 children in my Mom's family...now, there are only 5...and after my Aunt passes, 4. 

I have never lost a sibling or a parent, my Mom has endured both kinds of pain.  All I can do is be there for her to lean on.  

I will be back soon with craftiness!  Today, though...this is all I have....

I did this layout when I guested at Nikki Sivils in April.  It is my Mom with her remaining family.    

I made the center flower, I hand stitched the black diamonds in the paper pattern, and I put my handy dandy edge punches to work.  I Also chose a quote by Michael J Fox....

"Family is not an important thing...it is EVERYTHING." 

I did frame this and give it to my Mom, which she has taken up to the nursing home that my Aunt and Grandmother are in and shared it with everyone.  

 My Aunt is the one on the right in the wheel chair...My Mom is the tiny one in the back. :)  

Thanks for stopping by today everyone.  

Hope you are having a wonderful week!
