I am back! I was abducted by aliens and taken to outerspace. However, they sent me back because they thought I was going to take over their planet and I kept complaining about the lack of scrappy stores. So, my spaceship finally landed.

Can you believe I am the only house on our street that has their Christmas tree up? Yea, I know it's hard to believe. I am a Christmas freak. I always decorate early because it takes awhile to get eveything just right. This year I strayed from my usual pink and girly color scheme and opted for more traditional colors. I thought the reds would be more exciting for Abigail. I even went a step further and let her and Mark put ornaments on the tree. That is a HUGE step for me. I don't normally let anyone touch my tree...excuse me, OUR tree...but Abigail had so much fun and it is worth having ornament clumps just to see her smile. Ok, enough about the tree. I'll post photos when I get some.

I have tried to scrap but so far I haven't liked anything I have started. But, I have ordered new product, discovered a new scrappy store that has opened in the next town, AND I got an awesome package from Heather.

Heather sent some new Noteworthy....I am very excited. Thank you Heather!!!!!

Hopefully, I will be able to get my scrappin' groove on before I loose my mind.

So, how about some Halloween photos. Little late but that's ok.

My Hunk of Burning Love....he was Elvis. Look at the sexy, hairy chest. Now, ya'll don't be dreaming of my dog tonight when ya'll go to sleep.

And.....Abigail as Hannah Montana. Check out that wig.

Have a wonderful day!!!!

Yay your back!!!! Glad you liked the goodies. So cool you found a new store! If there is anything you want and can't get, let me know. I am so jealous that you have your tree up! I am doing mine much later this year because Chloe won't leave anything alone this year. I'm missing it though!!!

I also love Christmas. We put our tree up the weekend after Thanksgiving. I love to watch the kids decorate the tree. BUT I have some very special ornaments that they know are mine and I put those up. While they are decorating I love to listen to all the kids talk to each other "Here is your ornament!" "Here is mine!" I will take turns (not every year) and they will pick out an ornament that is just theirs. Always interesting what they pick out. Sometimes cute, somethimes......very interesting choices they make :) But I figure they are memories for me to have when they are gone. Abigail would love this. Love the Goodies you got.

Hey, I'm glad you escaped from the aliens! I've missed ya.

But I think I'm really jealous now. All that Noteworthy looks mighty spectacular...me wants some soooo bad and haven't gotten any yet :(

Really glad that you got a new scrappy store. I just saw an ad in the newspaper for a new one around me too, so I must pay a visit soon, and hope that they have some Noteworthy for me!

Elvis looks mighty fine reincarnated as Albert! :) Diggin' the Hannah Montana wid too!

Listen I don't know what you have been smoking but I would love some, so please share.
This post is hilarious. You know you should have opened up your own scrapbook store as you would have the edge over a non-existent market.
I've missed you and so nice to have you back. I love the pictures. Elvis rules and Albert looks great! I hear you about the tree, but so worth the look of excitement on the faces of my children. So happy you got you some Noteworthy products, they are so pretty aren't they. I know you will do something fabulous with them. I want to see pics. of the tree, please share.

roflmbo....how hilarious are those pics. I totally love it. The best part of Christmas for me when the girls were young was watching them decorate the tree and do paper chains and stuff. Just some of the things we have to allow to let our kids enjoy. Of course, we had THE designer tree too, but loved letting the kids do their thing. Besides, at Abigails age, you can always always redistribute the clumps and she won't notice. LOL. And yes I can believe you are the only one that has your Christmas tree up. I love Christmas too, but for cryin out loud girlfriend, let me get through the Thanksgiving Feast first...LOL....Love and hugs... btw, I bet the Aliens just couldn't put up with your cheery little christmas attitude right now...LOL...Love ya.
