Here we go again...

Last year just before Thanksgiving, we had warm weather with rain and the whole thing. School was out due to icy roads. It was a mess. Ok, can someone tell me what month we are in? It's Dec. 4, 2011 (ok technically, the 5th) and here we sit on 40 degrees. It is 12:20am and 40 degrees?! What is up with that?! Not sure but totally not digging it. AT ALL Anyways, on to creative thoughts. Did you see Tag #4 from Tim Holtz? Oh my gosh, so very cool. Did you know you could ink using the distress stains? I did not. I am so going to have to try that. It gives it a ghost kind of effect. And just when I though flourish stamps where a thing of the past. Dig them out, Girls. We have a new way of using them. Can't wait to try it while it rains tomorrow - on top of ice- making slush. Yeah, good times. haha So, stay in, turn up the Christmas music, make some hot cocoa and play.

12 Days of Christmas

Everywhere I look there is a craft project that is celebrating the 12 day of Christmas. Have you checked out Tim Holtz tags yet? Oh my jeez.... uber awesome. I am actually chewing on the idea of making them myself. I don't have everything he uses but if you do, my hat's off to you and I want to come live with you. lol Also, Following the Paper Trail has her projects up and going. The Day 1 project is a mini. Big surprise there. haha I am so going to make that. But I love Laura's projects. She is so creative. Not sure how she sleeps at night with all of those creative juices boiling in her brain. Anyways, go and check hers out too. Super cute. How do you celebrate the 12 days of Christmas. I didn't use to but I think that this is a good year to start a new tradition. Let's do this together. Oh, and please share your ideas. I would love to see what you've done.
