Stop...wait...was that Christmas Break?


ZZzzzzzoooom!
Christmas break came and went! Whew! What a great ride! Can't believe it's 2009!! We said hello and good bye to so many during the holiday break - it was good, very good. Andy has returned back to Alabama (should be registering for school tomorrow)! The boys are already missing their big brother! It was SO good to have him home - hair and all!
Cousins, nieces, kinfolk (and I USED to
be the tallest... now I'm the shortest of those over 10 yrs. old - arg!)
Got to visit and play games with lots of family! (Qwirkle, 42, Spades...) It was great to see everyone!


Gracie experienced her first Christmas and now she has her own blog YEAH! You can check out the sweetest baby girl here at Gracie's Memories! We're going to LOVE that link!

We cooked, cleaned, organized, threw away a LOT of junk and still had time to decorate this month in "Snowmen"! hahaha! KV just loves that - not!!

Now its time to jump back into crafting and recycle some sale Christmas/winter cards into "Thank You" cards - Hey - with all the 75% sales on cards - even just the envelopes are a bargain at that price... and I do go through many envelopes throughout the year...! I found these cards with silver snowflakes and a pastel-blue felt surfaced to "add-on" some embossed extras and embellishments. What do you think? Is it cheating when you buy cards and "add on"? They're still unique and hand touched... That's about how I cook - semi-homemade...if it comes out of my stove - it's home cooked, right?

How was your Monday today?
It was cold in the Texas panhandle -
Good thing UT is playing the Fiesta Bowl in Arizona tonight- it'll be warmer there!
Hey Andy - what's the difference between Alabama and Corn Flakes? Only one belongs in a bowl... ouch! Sorry... ):

I agree with you that that was the shortest break ever!! We had to go back Friday......but this is the first day for our kids. :( Oh, well....and I have to agree that anything that comes out of my stove IS homemade, whether it be from a pizza box or whatever!!!
