The Gingerbread house album.....






This album is one that I made for Lloyds Mom and Dad. Last year they spent Christmas with us and one of the things I remember most is the day we had a gongerbread house competition - girls against boys! So the album is based on that!

Terry - I'm so glad you and Chris liked the album - I had fun making it! But for some reason I put 2007 on the front and inside wished you a good Christmas for 08!!! It was ready to send and thankfully Lloyd forgot to take it to the post office - so I was showing it to Laurie and he noticed I had the dates wrong so I quickly changed it to 06 and 07 :)

Main tree...


I can't seem to get a picture of this that shows what it really looks like - some of the baubles are green and some are gold...the ribbon is green and gold and there are little bunches of fir cones and flowers in green and gold attached throughout.....but it just looks like a green tree with gold baubles which isn't what it really is.

Lloyd hates it - he says it needs some red lol and I don't like it much because I wanted brown ornaments and couldn't find any anywhere :( so its not what I wanted lol...and we can't find a tree topper that goes with it - I am soooo fussy lol....but it will do ;) it still looks pretty with the lights on :)

My Mantel garland...



So I bought this in Zellers today and just plonked it up - so it still needs 'tweaking'....but as soon as I find the right things to go in it, it will be done :) Ideally I'd like some little fir cones attached to it...and maybe some sticks of cinnamon and some dried orange slices or something.....hhhmmmmm this weekends projects!

This picture just reminds me that we need more pictures for our walls!!!!

I made my friend cry today....

...and I'm happy about it!!!!

I gave Samantha her little tag book today - the one I made about friendship...and she LOVED it and started crying :) I'm so glad she liked it!

Then I got home to a phone message from Lloyds Mom to thank me for the little album I made her that arrived today - I will post pictures of that later - now that its safe too :)

Right now we have the fire lit, Christmas music playing on the tv....right now its that song that goes pa rump a pum pum....or whatever lol - and the children are decorating gingerbread men cookies :)

It is snowing a LOT outside :( in fact the weather is downright NASTY. It's nice and warm but that has made the snow all wet and sticky and nasty and its very windy out...the roads are a mess....I was glad to get home but will be even happier when Lloyd gets home - he's finishing earlier to miss the traffic - but the boys are both at parties so we have to go out on the roads again later to collect them :(

I found a swag in Zellers and now have that over my mantel - it's not great but it looks better than it did without it :)

Ok I have to take a few piccies and then will add them - drive carefully everyone - stay safe!
