I still haven't done my Christmas cards, blogging instead

I actually did it. Yep thats right. I redid my blog look. It isn't drastic or anything, but still. New banner, fixed it up here and there. I like it. I'm glad I did it. It makes it feel revamped in a way. I also got some more digital magic worked on around here. I wanted to do the sketch this week over at Sketchy Thursdays. I'm horribly behind in my scrapbooking. I think my kids are going to be like where is 2011, Mom? What happened? haha No they won't really. But I might.

Here's this week's sketch:



















Here is the layout I made. I really wanted to use these pictures. I love them so.































I have to tell you about my newest purchase. I finally broke down. I resold my school books back to Amazon and had a credit. So I finally got a Big Shot Sizzix and its on its way. Can you believe I don't have any type of paper cutter die cut thing. I have a little mini Sizzix, but thats it. None of the other circuits or whatnot. Nothing.

I have been in love with Tim Holtz's dies for the big shot for awhile now. I want one dang it. Thats it. Its on its way. I found it for 60 bucks, free shipping on Amazon brand new. Not too shabby.
Hope you are all doing well! Thanks for looking.
