Week #26 Challenge

Yep...This is our last challenge of the year!  This has been so much fun, getting to know each one of our Designers through their weekly layouts and projects.  I think if  I saw them posted somewhere else, I'd know instantly who had made them.  Everyone here has a very distinct style.

Kim and Marcie are moving onto bigger and more exciting things, and we wish them the best of luck.  These are two amazingly talented ladies, you'll be seeing more of them in the not too distant future.  Thanks for spending the last 6 months with us ladies...we will miss you!

Rebecca and Sheri are staying on with us, and we are so excited to share lots of new things with all of you in 2010!  Perhaps a new ScrapTiffany Community?  Hmmmmm...sounds interesting.

So for our final Challenge of 2009, it's all about Resolutions!  Do you have a New Years Resolution?  I usually don't bother, because I break them within days!  Last year I wanted to get more fit.  So Shad and I joined a local gym.  We went for about 6 months before losing interest, which is a record for us!  This year I just want to try to be healthier.  We'll see how long this one lasts!

Here are the last Challenges from our 2009 Design Team.

Week #25 Challenge

We all have some sort of Traditions that we pass down to our children.  Whether it's that favorite old family recipe that you serve on Christmas Eve, or putting the kids in their Sunday best to go see the Santa at the Mall.  Traditions make up who we are, and who our Families are.

The one tradition that I most remember from my childhood was going to get the Christmas tree.  Growing up in Oregon, you didn't go to a lot to get your tree, you went out and cut it down yourself.  There weren't Tree Farms around there, we went up to the woods to get our tree!  We put on all our snow gear, packed some food, and lots of hot chocolate, and set out to find the perfect tree.  It always seemed like we walked for miles before my Mom would make her decision on what tree she wanted.  I always got to get my own tree for my room, that was my favorite part.  That's something I'll always remember, that was our Family Tradition.  What's yours?

Our Design Team shared some of their favorite Holiday Traditions with us this week.

No Shopping Yet.....

We had to drive to Longview yesterday so Ashley could buy a car.

Sorry for the bad photo, this was on my iPhone.

She paid for the whole thing herself, and it's all in her name.  Wow, she's growing up!  It's a cute little Isuzu Rodeo, and fits her personality perfectly!

Longview was a neat little town.  They had this amazing lake/park area right in the middle of town, it was really beautiful.  We'll definitely be making a trip back there this summer. 

So now that she has a car, she and Cody can start looking for work.  It's weird having someone home with me during the day.  It's usually just me and Ridley.  Oh well, it's nice having them here.

I have lots to do in my studio today, sending out the last of the orders and getting things organized for my Moms visit.  She'll be here on the 27th, and she's staying a week.  Yeah!

I'll let you know how shopping goes....

One more week!

OK, there's less than a week left to shop for gifts...I must get started today!

Wish me luck!

Toilet Paper Rolls???

Yep, it's true, we've finally brought toilet paper rolls into our scrapbooking!

 

But hey...we can make anything look fabulous, right?!  These make wonderful Gift Card Holders for the Holidays.

I got this idea from some of the ladies on 2Peas, but was really inspired by the beautiful ones that Stacy Pietryszyn had made.

I had a few scraps that I used on mine.

I think I would have painted the edges of the toilet paper holder, because the paper I used was a little too bright for the brown.  These would look much better with more vintage looking papers.

 

This would be a great little project for the kids, and you could put several together to make a little mini album.  Go to 2Peas and put Toilet Paper in the search, and you'll see all kinds of eye candy!

 

I'll have to pick up some gift cards when I start my Christmas shopping!  :(

 

As with all my projects...you can never have too much ribbon!

Thanks for looking....have a wonderful Thursday!

Another Great Sponsor!

Look what arrived in the mail yesterday.

My favorite Cat's Eye Chalk from Clear Snap!  I have a Chestnut Roan to put in every kit!  Thank you Clear Snap for sponsoring my class at the Craft Super Show.

Here's a fun Birthday card that I got from Debbie.  She knows how much I love Hot Tamales, so she came up with this super cute card.  

When you pull the white tab....the Hot Tamales come out.  Yummy!

Very creative Debbie.  Thank you!

Is Christmas coming too quickly for anyone else?  I have been so busy with so many little projects, I have neglected the whole Christmas shopping thing.  Maybe I can get to it this weekend.  Happy Wednesday!

New Kits are ready!

This month we did two layout kits, one for Christmas, and one for Valentines Day.

You can order them here.

I had a great time at the crop yesterday.  Today I was so exhausted I got up at noon, took a shower, and then went back to bed until 4:30.  Apparently my body needed some rest!

Thanks for a fun day day girls!  I also ran into some of my "old" scrappin' friends, it was great to see them and reconnect a bit.

I only checked a few things off of my To DO list.

1.  The boys got the Christmas light up, and they look great.

2.  I got the Valentine Book done for my Scrap That! Class in February.

3.  And I enjoyed time with Family and Friends.

Thanks for all the Birthday Well Wishes.  I decided I wasn't going to be 41, I would just be 40 and holding.  I logged onto our Message Board just now, and clicked on my page...and it said I was 41!  It reset itself today.  Nice.  I think I'm going to back to bed.  See you tomorrow!
