Hey, Guess What I Got for Christmas!!!!

Well, it came as a huge great big surprise! I just opened a Wishblade from my wonderful DH! It has a great big instruction manual to wade through! Anyone want to come play with me? Okay, mom and Tim want to open presents so I'd better get off the computer now! Just had to share the excitement!

Christmas At Disney Altered Lunchbox

I had a little extra time today so I decided to do something fun! It's been my first day to relax in weeks! Anyway, I whipped up this lunchbox for my friend who is spending Christmas at Disney World with her three kids and all the family!

Decorating Christmas Cookies

Today my neighbor's little girl came over to help me decorate my sugar cookies. All 110 of them (she counted!). I wasn't sure how this would turn out but Rosie did a great job! She took her duties seriously and was in charge of all stars and trees. She especially loved the blue icing and came up with combinations of sprinkles that I would have never thought of! Like all five kinds sprinkled onto one cookie top! I had to laugh when I was just putting cookies down on the rack wherever they would fit and she started aligning them, just like something I would do! Tim was there when it happened and asked her if she lined her socks up like soldiers but she said no and I gave him a dirty look (he still gives me grief about that bad habit of mine!) About every 5 minutes she would run upstairs and check on my cats, who were always sleeping. At one point she came down carrying Garden Kitty and then they had some games of hide and seek, however, my cat wasn't too sure how to play this game and kept forgetting to hide. Rosie insisted I should take some breaks too, which I had never thought of doing either! She's a good influence! So, off we went outside to play in the leaves at one point and another time we stopped everything and laid down on the bed with Garden Kitty. Cats and kids sure have the right ideas! Tim taste tested some broken trees for us and said they were quite good so I believe all in all it was a success! I can't wait to do some scrapbook pages! Elizabeth

Hello, I'm Rita and I am a paperaholic...

Ok, so I just got my new cubes for my scrapbook room, minus one that got majorly damaged in delivery. A new one is on its way, which will soon complete my "wall o' paper". SO, in order to avoid being outed by my fellow DT ladies in a secret cover operation as described by Abby, here it is. A picture of MOST of my paper.

How Abby and Holly Spent Friday and Saturday

Set up with my dh and I at the Stewart's Christmas Gift Show! Aren't they the cutest in their little aprons? Elizabeth

Where we live...

My family and I were out enjoying the unseasonably warm temperatures over the past weekend. This photo was taken from the Indiana side of the Ohio River right at sunset. What a gorgeous skyline!!
