It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

I’ve been doing some a lot of Christmas preparation the past couple of days. And it’s not even December yet! For a number of years, I’ve been making my own Christmas tags – I love doing it, it puts me in the Christmas spirit, and it adds a personalized touch to each gift.  This year I got an early start on the tags by using these free journaling cards.  They are the perfect size! I covered up some of the numbers with embellishments and paper but you could leave the cards as they are. I’m also going to incorporate some into Project Life.

 

I’ve also made some progress on holiday shopping. And gift wrapped some of the packages! Couldn’t be happier with my Christmas progress. It makes for a lot less hectic December!

Happy Turkey Day!

Below is the layout for my gingerbread cookie baking extravaganza. The paper is My Mind's Eye (Life Stories) from a while ago and I used Tattered Angels glimmer mist and a hodge podge of past Christmas supplies. 

Gingerbread Cookies

A holiday tradition I absolutely adore is making gingerbread cookies. This is something I've been doing for a couple of years now since I got these adorable cookie cutters at a family Christmas party. I love them because it adds some comedic value to this tasty treat! The scrapbook layout is coming soon!

Project Life

Today was all about catching up on PL. Usually, I'm really good about keeping up to date but October has been a challenge. It has been a VERY busy month. Check out all my hard work:
