Christmas is Kicking My Butt

Oh dear, I'll be happy for Christmas Eve.  Then it will be too late to worry about whatever isn't done or anything I've forgotten, lol. 

Tonight is cookie baking night!  I'm going over to Mom's and taking my baking pans with me.  We are a cookie baking family, from the chilled dough right on down to the sprinkles and chocolate chips.  If Lisa didn't already make the sugar cookie dough you'll hear me scream all the way to San Antonio.

I am currently 51 layouts off of my 2010 goal. I had hoped for 350 layouts for the year and I just finished 299.  Blogger is not letting me upload #299 so here is #298:

Lisa is going to be so happy to have her face plastered on my blog, hee hee.

51 layouts in 10 days with a holiday or two in-between?  Could happen...

Down to the Wire

In a wicked game of procrastination, otherwise known as "Don't tell Nicole or she'll pass out and then bop me on the head," I waited to the last minute to finish Logan's 1st birthday album.  Luckily I work well under pressure or I would have had to show up to Logan's birthday party with a paper bag on my head.

So here it is, in all its glory (well, all except the last page which I didn't have time to photograph):

Tis The Seas-on

In a break from the traditional holiday subjects that usually consume December, our team at ESS did a nautical reveal this past week.  We used Jen Reed's new Nautical Nights Collection (Papers and Elements).  There are a number of cute layouts up on the blog.  Here's the one I created:

Shuttle Boat Ride

When Michelle and Bob were down to visit with the girls in October, John and I met up with them and brought Bianca and Libby along.  Ages ranging 4 - 7, it was a great match-up and all the girls got along really well.  They had fun together, beginning with the shuttle boat ride we took from Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter to Downtown Disney's Marketplace.
