Our vacation at Myrtle Beach is nearly over, but we’re having a blast!

Doing all the touristy things, and stuff…

Staying at Stan’s cousin’s AMAZING penthouse condo…

and even getting to scrap with my friend Amanda Thorderson’s Song of Hope brag book and kit!

We’ll be back soon!  See ya then!

I’m guest blogger today on the Thrifty Mommy site - go check it out!  Karen and Kelly keep you up to date on all the best ways to stay thrifty - dig back thru their archives for all kinds of neat stuff.  They’ll link you to Kim Komando’s free downloads as well as lots of other great sites and posts.  Don’t forget to read MY post (although you are already converts…) and click on the link to the slide show of my layouts.  I don’t post them in galleries or on groups that often, so here’s your chance to see my work!

Well, off to the beach!  We’re in Myrtle Beach, the water is 85F, and we have a brand new boogie board that needs breaking in!

Hopefully I’ll have some great photos to scrap for you later!

Just read this great article about gas prices and wanted to pass it along. (See it here). I know that Jenn and I are feeling the pinch at the pump but mostly we feel it buying food. Luckily we can take all the money Jenn used to spend on papers and spend it on gas and food! Help me out - I’m curious about what you’re paying. Leave a comment with:

+ Cost of a gallon of milk
+ Cost of a dozen eggs
+ Where you are (City, State, Country)

I’ll summarize the data in a later post. And thanks for satisfying my curiosity!

A VERY merry time was had by all at the White House today, we hope you and yours had a wonderful day too! The BIG surprise of the day was… a Wii! Thanks to the generosity of my friend jenjen, she was able to procure not ONE, but TWO Wii systems. And through the bigness of her heart, instead of selling it for MEGA bucks on e-bay, she sold it to me at cost! AND went out in the wind and snow to ship it so it would be here on time. I had already told the family NO WAY are y’all getting a Wii, I REFUSE to stand in line at 6AM, so boy were they surprised!!

My son even CRIED he was so happy! Needless to say, the rest of the day was spent bowling, golfing and playing tennis! Now all that’s left is the cleaning up. Looks like a toy store threw up in my living room!

Here’s a little QP from my layout, to give you all a quick head start on your holiday scrapping! If you’d like the coordinating pieces to make more layouts, see the previous post - everything I used is in the card kit I have for sale here on the blog!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

I finally got our Christmas card together, and Stan printed them for me. They’re just gorgeous - large and glossy and fun! So from my family to yours - Merry Christmas and all the joys of the season!

Everything on the card came from my Northern Exposure kit or my new Winter Nights kit!

And for a little gift to you - here are two quick cards you can use! Click on the images to download!

Hope you’re all surviving the season! I’m up to my elbows in chocolate and peanut butter making gift boxes for Stan’s customers and our teachers and friends and family! Wish I could send you some too!

Merry Christmas!
