my last holiday cj entry..

sniff, sniff. i'm sad that this swap has come to an end!! it was an amazing group of people who made amazing circle journals about the holidays!! as soon as i finish my own entry in my circle journal, i will post the whole finished project. until then, see sherri's completed journal on her blog. this entry is for suzi's journal. it was our favorite holiday tradition. it's alot like the one i did for pam's journal, but i found the picture of me and kerry that i was looking for!!!

moms are great...

i spent the entire day with my mom yesterday. it was great. despite me being a little grumpy, we had a good time. the reason, other than to just hang out, was to finish her magnet board. i've been a terrible daughter. i gave her a magnet board for christmas LAST year and didn't get a chance to get it done. so it's been sitting in her basement, naked, for the past 11 months. i figured it was WAY past time to get it done, so we planned a whole day to work on it. i'll have to get a picture from her to post. i think it turned out very cute.

the other project i worked on was a circle journal. i had such a hard time with it because i don't really have many holiday collections. but here is how it turned out. sorry the picture isn't the best...we couldn't get my mom's scanner to work.

a little christmas decor...

so as you've read before, i'm in a holiday circle journal swap with some friends from over at the shack. well, the themes are getting hard to figure out what to do for a layout!! this is for sherri's journal. she wanted to know what our favorite christmas ornament is. so here is my version. i'm trying to find a picture of the tree when it was all decorated, but i don't remember if i ever took one!!!

stamps used : maryse carrier-tree with star, star; green grass stamps-the red tree on the background, that you can't see well; memory box-christmas tree scene.

edit: don't you hate it when you make a typo and don't find it until your project is complete?? argh!!! how to fix it...

my favorite holiday toy...

in another circle journal entry!! this one is for cindy's holiday circle journal. i have a bad memory. i always have. so trying to think of what my favorite toy that i got for christmas was difficult!! i'm sure i've had so many cool gifts, i just can't remember them all!! anyway, here is my cj entry. i did love this doll!! the only doll i ever liked!

more holiday love...

once again, i have another post featuring a circle journal!!! this one is for terry's holiday circle journal. i loved her theme. it is the 5 senses of christmas. we had to put what our favorite senses of

christmas are.

i really wish i had better hand writing so i could write everything instead of relying on the computer. ok, honestly i don't. because there are so many stinkin' cute fonts!! i'm so addicted to fonts.

supplies used include stamps from stampin up, purple onion, maryse carrier. i also used part of a simply scrappin kit from stampin up.

paper is from a sweetwater kit. merry stamp is from green grass stamps and traditions is a stampin' up alphabet set.

holiday circle journal madness...

so i have procrastinated to the last day on my own circle journal. smart!!! anyway, here it is, without my entry. i just wanted to post it first. there are 5 pictures so i put it in a photobook for easier editing. hope you likey!!!

i mostly used a sweetwater kit with this. additional rubons from different companies and i stamped with stampin' up! alphas and maryse carrier.
