December Daily - Twenty Seventh

The day after Christmas was almost as fun as Christmas day! It was so relaxing, just me and the boys at home. Christopher was busy building his Lego City Garage, Dan was tinkering with his new electric guitar amp and I managed to get some scrapbooking time in!

Here's a page I made of my son giving me a special gift. I just started collecting The Original Snow Village pieces from Department 56 this year and Christopher got me this adorable little Christmas Town Tour Bus. You can't tell from this photo that the little bus is covered with real working lights! My son adores school buses so it was quite appropriate for him to give me a bus!

Tonight, we finally ventured from the house to go out to dinner. We went to our favorite Mexican Restaurant, Fiesta Mexicana. Afterwards, Christopher always likes to go have ice cream at The Golden Cone. Tonight he had Moose tracks with gummy bears! What a combo!

Thanks once again for stopping by my Daily December blog post. Tomorrow I shall be trying to get back into a typical weekday routine. Tomorrow come by to see see the new 2 Sketches 4 You challenge and my take on the sketch. Kathy :)

Too Much Fun

I've been neglecting my blog lately because there's just too many fun things going on this spring! There have been some birthdays to celebrate, including my own. Christopher has been off from school for spring break and we had a couple family outings. One to the Museum of Life and Sciences in Durham and one out to Volmer Farms in Bunn for some out-of-this world strawberry picking! Then there was Easter and all the activities that go along with that. I bet we're not the only ones enjoying the season. Fortunately, I've been finding a little time here and there to keep up with my scrapbooking so I've posted some pages that I've made for these activities. Enjoy!

Chloe's Closet

I love new scrapbook paper lines with pretty matching embellishments and ribbons and Chloe's closet is my new favorite. This line is manufactured by Making Memories and I found it at Michael's of all places. I made the cards and scrapbook page above with the line and find these colors are perfect for spring crafting.
