December always seems to be a time of reflection for me. As a New year approaches and the past comes to a close I find myself going over the past year and setting goals for the upcoming fresh start. This layout was done for an article on CK magazine. Although I finished the layout it did not have the right feeling for the magazine so I did a new layout. But I kept this one. I have decided to share it today to hopefully motivate someone to set a goal and keep it. Lots of Ditto goodies used on this layout. Happy Holiday.
So I am admitting this out loud. At our house the tree goes up on November 1st...but just lights. We decorate for Christmas on Thanksgiving. And the presents go under the tree on Dec 1st. Can you tell how long I LOVE to drag out Christmas?
So with that many days to look at presents I really love to have them wrapped up cute, and a tag is the perfect way to finish off a gift. I used these tags. And then stamps ind inkers.
There are so many concerts and holiday events to attend this season. I just happen to be lucky enough that my children give me all of the opportunity that I need for holiday music. Here is my second oldest daughter playing the cello for the High School Choir concert. It was breathtaking. She gave up the cello a year ago and has not touched it in over 7 months. The director asked if she could accompany the piano for one of the songs, and she said "SURE" She then FINALLY picked the cello up 3 days before the concert and it was so beautiful I cried. You know what...here it is you can watch it :) It was taken with my husbands phone so it is not the best quality, but I will share anyway :) She is a freshman this year.
Happy Wednesday! Hope your week is going great!! I cannot get enough of these adorable owl stamps! I can't help but smile every time I see them. :) These stamps come from the Foot Long Owls 2 set! I hope you enjoy!
