Guesting!

Like many of you, we have had a busy, busy December!  I've been volunteering at two school libraries, planning Christmas activities, enjoying my ladies class at church, and doing the wife & mommy thing (which is full-time in and of itself!)  I am so looking forward to Christmas and New Year's this year...this has been a hard year for our family, but we have come through it, and I am ready to celebrate!

Aside from the hustle and bustle of holiday activities, I've also been enjoying two wonderful guest spots with a few of my absolute favorite designers, Connie Prince and Meg Mullens.  And of course my most favorite designer of all, Tracy of Trixie Scraps, has been cranking out some GORGEOUS Christmas kits.  And since I've got some down time, I'm going to show you some of the layouts I've been able to create this month.

I have so many snow pictures from the past two winters...so far, none this year.  We've had snow in the state (blizzards to our west, in fact), but at our house, we've had nothing but rain.  As much as I'd like to see some of the fluffy white stuff on the ground, I will not complain about the rain.  After more than a year of drought, it has been a blessing.  With that, I'm going to sign off...we've got friends coming over this evening, and I need to clean up the house and bake some sand tarts.  Merry Christmas, friends!
