School has been back in session almost two weeks and I'm quickly reminded of how crazy the Fall Season gets with all the homework and all the soccer. All. The. Soccer. Both kids play on the High School team and they both play on other teams as well (Club and AYSO). In addition, my husband and son are coaching a third team as well this year. If you ever need to locate me, it's guaranteed that I'll be on a soccer field somewhere in Southern … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Cookie Cutter Christmas
Christmas & Holiday Cards
Cell phones and Holly Berries
Have you ever received your cell phone bill and really looked at all the charges closely? Or do you just send them money and be thankful that you have the convenience of a mini computer in your hand everywhere you go? Usually, this is me. Except when the bill comes and it's quite a bit different from what it usually is. Our cell phone bill last month was about $85 higher than usual. I hate when this happens because I can't in good conscious … [Read more...] about Cell phones and Holly Berries

Five Minute Friday – Holiday Candy Bar Wrappers
So many decisions! Now that the Holiday Catalog is out, I just can't make up my mind. Do I work on Halloween goodies? Or Christmas Goodies? Well, lucky you, because I have one of each today and both are candy bar wrappers. So a few nights ago, I decide I'm going to make up several of these to get ready for today's post. I send the kids to the store with $15 cash. I asked them to get me one regular size Hershey bar and the two notebooks they … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Holiday Candy Bar Wrappers

As a Demonstrator, I was able to place my pre-order on 8/2, which I did. Would you believe it took me all month to break out this beautiful Candy Cane Lane pack of paper?

Cookie Cutter Christmas
The upcoming Holiday Catalog has two different stamp sets that coordinate with the same punch, the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. They are the Cookie Cutter Halloween and Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp sets.

Only 150 More Days Until…
Christmas! Do you know why we associate the poinsettia with Christmas? The plant's association with Christmas began in 16th-century Mexico with a story about a little girl. She looked forward to the annual Christmas festival but could not afford to buy a gift to take to the festival. On Christmas Eve, she set out for church to attend the service and picked some weeds along the way. She placed the weeds in the manger as her gift to the baby … [Read more...] about Only 150 More Days Until…
