i'm really rather shocked by how much i got done this weekend. and i didn't even get started till saturday as i worked the gate at the high school football game friday night (go golden bears! we're playing in the state semi-finals this weekend!). so chelle came over saturday morning and g had a playdate as one of his besties spent the night friday night (our first time having a sleepover at our place). i was just a busy beaver all day long with chelle's encouragement (i like company when i scrap) and somehow managed to keep my momentum today.
this is what i got done:
- december daily cover, binding, and christmas card page
- october daily binding plus pages 4-13
- calendar bingo card mini cover, binding, and sept-dec
- unfinished october kit page
- jbs christmas garland ornament
- new page inspired by the christmas garland ornament
there will be lots of scrappy shares this week! the page here is the one i finished from my october kit. i think it's mostly the october artisan add-on actually. it was originally intended for shimelle's pretty paper party, but got benched for something else. i love the way it turned out. i wanted the papers on it to look as chaotic as my dining room table. yes, it looks like that quite often. not today though. i somehow managed to clean up between projects. i am just out of control. ha.
i've got a playdate at chelle's house scheduled for wednesday then a five day weekend. woot!
this is what i hope to accomplish the rest of the week:
- finish dec daily. only lacks the year in review page. need to get pics printed for that.
- finish oct daily. days 14-31. also need to get pics printed for that.
- finish shimelle's learn something new every day mini. days 19-30.
- 4 cub scout thank you cards (by tuesday evening).
- dig into the december jbs mercantile kit. yum!
- foundation for my 2011 journal your christmas/december daily.
and i just have to share these photos from this morning. isn't my angel baby so adorable? this is him when he finally woke up at 11:00 this morning. i think he had sleepover hangover.
have you ever seen such amazing pillow tracks? i laughed and laughed and laughed. :)




dude. that list!

Doris! Man alive, I love that chaotic in a fabulous way page! You and Jill have the best handwriting, seriously, your handwriting is always the perfect touch for your pages. And it's funny how your "hand" reminds me of your actual scrapbooking style.
Pillow tracks, : ) don't know if I've ever hear that. But he is the cutest kid! Well, your kid and my kid : )
