My Elder law teacher has still not posted grades. I'm stalking my school website as you read this. Driving me nuts!

I saw that Shopping our stash site had a new challenge up that is to use krafty paper or make a tag or whatnot. Lately I've been kinda feeling the whole tag thing. I made a tag and then made it into another Christmas card. I really don't want to make anymore Christmas cards. I can't seem to stop myself. WTH? I still am procrastinating actually writing out my Christmas cards and sending them even though they are sitting there ready. I even purchased matching Christmas stamps to put on the envelopes weeks ago... so sad.

Here's the card I made for the newest Shopping our stash challenge!






























The house sticker and snowflake sticker-cosmo cricket, punch snowflakes- Martha stewart, pp-BG, red sparkly tinsel-have no idea, brads-joanns, kraft paper-Tim Holtz (base house is on), blue and wht ribbon- Michaels, metal chain- Tim Holtz, Let it snow sticker-SRM sticker, and card base-bazzill.



Today I had an electrician come out and fix a handful of things I needed done in my house. The big thing I got was a light in my pantry. You do not know how happy this makes me. I'm like a nut about my pantry. I have very little kitchen space. I just bought 4 spice racks to smoosh all our spices in our pantry now too. Its so awesome. Does it look all fancy smancy pretty like stuff on Pinterest. Nah.. not really, but it is organized and is packed full. I use the space I have dang it! I think thats the biggest solution to having a small space or a place you are stuck in and have kinda outgrown. Thats our problem. This house was fine with only one child. We had more than enough room. We've just outgrown in with having another child and just accumulating stuff over the years.

Well I am off to watch a CSI episode online. Today I have to give out teacher gifts to some of Leo's teachers. I had so many this year. I got his 3 speech teachers and one of the office ladies each one of these Godiva peppermint crunch bars and a 5 dollar Starbucks gift card each in an envelope with a pretty Christmas card made by me. Chocolate and Coffee gift cards.




















I don't think any teacher would begrudge that gift. Am I right?
Hope you all are having a great holiday season.

Oh! I wanted to know. Where do you all get your gingerbread houses to make from? I'd really like one that has premade frosting in it. I hate having to mix the frosting myself. Any good kits out there?

HA! i was secretly hoping you'd play along at SOS this week b/c few ppl IN THE WORLD rock the tags OR the kraft more than you do, as is extremely well proven right here! love♥LOVE♥love that awesome card!!!

ps: my advice for getting excited about MAILING xmas cards is make a really cool digi-label... that's when i become COMMITTED, when i have to mail them to "show off" my labels!!! :) :) :)
