I found this and thought I would share it with you. I think it would be great fun for both kids and adults. I do believe Ansley and I just might have to Grinch a few people in our neighborhood. Below is how it all works.

You’ve Just Been Grinched!

You’ve been selected as the recipient of this ornament. The Grinch made it just for you! And you don’t want to disappoint the Grinch!

The following are his demands… If you want to see any presents under your Christmas tree!

1. Hang up one copy of his festive face where all can see so you don’t get Grinched again!

2. Make or buy two ornaments.

3. Send them to two unsuspecting friends-you must include pictures of the Grinch and a copy of this letter so the next Grinchee can send off his/her ornament! Make photocopies if necessary.

4. Bring your package to your friend’s house. Ring the bell and take off! The Grinch would be extremely disappointed if you were to get caught.

5. Don’t break the chain if you want a Merry Christmas.

And my friend Patti sent me this link. She Elfed a group of us Fiskateers… we appear in this order… Me, Jane Hasty, Patti Church and Stephenie Hamen. I think it is so funny. They are all at a crop right now and I really do not like being geographically challenged. Because I am here and they are there! Have fun. I’m sure there will be lots of laughs. I miss you three a lot.

We are putting up the tree this evening. I have been cleaning the front room all day. This years tree will look totally different from last years. It is so easy and I love it! First time ever I have placed colored lights on my tree. Ansley is thrilled. I will show photos once we get it just right. Have a wonderful evening.

which means I can show you some layouts I created for ScrapGal. This months theme is confess. Below are a few things I have to confess. But first if you can, you really need to read the ScrapGal newsletter. Dina did a fabulous job putting it together. You will love all the layouts the designers created. As well as the button article Celeste Smith wrote…. lots of ideas for buttons.

I wish I could honestly say this photo was taken December 1^st but I must confess it was not, it was taken March 1^st. Yep, that’s right MARCH 1^ST! Every year, I tell myself I’m taking our Christmas tree down before the middle of January but when the time arrives… I just can’t make myself do it. I won’t start taking it down until I have no other choice and when the temperatures warm up and the scent of spring fills the air, I feel the need. If I could only figure out a way to hide our tree all decorated and out of the way I would. Oh how wonderful it would be to have it hidden. Then as soon as the holidays begin pull it out, plug it in and let the Christmas cheer begin.

Journaling reads:

I have clutched you tightly in my hands for over 20 years. You have been with me at every job, on every road trip, after the birth of each daughter and every other monumental moment in my life. There is nothing more pleasing to the ear on a hot summer day than to hear the pop of your top and the fizz of you being poured into a tall ice filled glass. But I must confess at times there have been others… Sprite Zero, Diet Dr. Pepper and Pepsi One. But I always come back to you as you are my one true love…. There’s just one Diet Coke and you’re the one for me.

Scrap Scene has some cute Easter Projects listed and I’m so happy Angie has my Eater Cards listed. Angie updates a lot so you may need to scroll down a bit. She also has the Bliss Purse Album by Mou Saha. She is the guest designer this month for Cocoa Daisy. I tell you Mou is one talented lady. I just love all her work. Speaking of love… I love the Scalloped-Edged Mini Egg book Erin Lincoln created. It is just too cute.

Also, my Easter Mini Album and Altered Mason Jars are now in publication. My mini album is in the April Scrapbook Trends and my Altered Mason Jars are in the April/May Paper Trends. The Blossoms II Chipboard pieces by Maya Road fit perfectly on the lid. They are really fun to make and take no time at all. Well gotta go and finish typing up my supply lists and instructions for some layouts. Hope you all have a wonderful Monday.
