Man… I have been about to bust holding in all these Maya Road new release secrets. Finally, we get to start sharing!! It has been torture I tell ya flat out torture! So here is my first sneak peek…. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new Velvet Sparkle Blossoms… oh my gosh the quality of these hand stitched VELVET flowers is incredible. The rhinestones in the center sparkle like diamonds…pure bliss!!! The new Scrolls are another of my absolute favorites. Covering these beauties in Antique Silver Fine Glass Glitter by Art Glitter Institute makes my heart skip beats. The album shown is about my great grandparents.

To see an additional project I created using the Jan. Kit by Cocoa Daisy and some more new release Maya Road products go check out the MMM Blog.

Oh I wonder which project I will show tomorrow… it is so hard to pick just one.

Sorry I don’t have any projects or layouts to share today. But here is a really cute photo of “Sonny” my golden retriever. He is wearing the Santa hat “Zeus” had his photo taken in a few days ago.

At the moment, I am working on several things for Maya Road and Cocoa Daisy but can’t share until Jan. 1st! I think this is the hardest part about being on a DT. I always want to share my creations as soon as I finish. The waiting just kills me. So, I found this really cute list of questions on the net and thought it would be fun to share them with you. I plan on making a mini album using all my families answers. On Christmas Eve I’m going to hand this out and have them fill in the answers. Then take a photo of each person and create a journal. I think it will be fun to have and reflect on in the future.

Whether it is yours or a disposable just give a kid a camera. You will love seeing what they feel is photo worthy. I have so much fun looking at what photos my daughter Ansley (12 yrs. old) ends up taking and am always amazed with her self portraits. She has quite the eye for photography. Here are a few really neat photos she took last night that I altered. I LOVE any photo with a Sepia tone.

I spent this weekend cleaning and organizing my scraproom. I now have all my Maya Road and Cocoa Daisy products organized and placed in drawers for easy access. Next, will be my PaperDillies products once that gets started in Jan. I have a few projects and Challenges I need to work on and try to finish today for Maya Road. I want to get a head start before projects need to be completed for CHA.

Wishing you all a “Happy Monday.” Hope you get to be creative and if so please share your projects with me.
