SNOW..Cute Snowman


Using Blender Pens to Color these snowman are the perfect idea


The scallop square punch was used to create this background. Just punch out designer series paper scraps for an easy background.




Thanksgiving Day Fun


Every year we cook a turkey...this year it was a 22lb. turkey and came out super yummy!!  The trick Tom said was basting it every 20 minutes and using chicken broth instead of water!!


I was in charge of cutting the turkey!  We stayed in Cleveland this year and spent time just relaxing and watching football.



Oh My, it is my mommy's birthday on Thanksgiving and we think that is really funny!

 An Innovative Idea

I would have never thought of this.  They attached the polka dots and snowflakes then, embossed!  I love the colors too, Bashful Blue, So Saffron and Chocolate Chip!



Wow, watch me jump even while i'm fancy!!
We were off to the mall to jump!!  She picked this as a reward for reading so well!

Isabella Loves Reading

Isabella came to my classroom on Friday and was a special guest reader!  We told her if she could read, we would have her be a celebrity!  She told the kids, "If you guys just practice with your mommy and daddy, you can read like me!"






Stocking Die

Last chance to order Christmas stuff and make these cute stockings!



SPINNER CARD

Remember using the word window and a penny to create a spinner card?  I love this idea.  The penny was covered with 2 circle punches and then the snowflake over it!  That cute embossing folder is the one in the Holiday Mini too!




A FEW CUTE TREAT BAG IDEAS

These bags are available in the holiday mini through December.  The square and scallop square punches were used.
