Okay, I just feel you have to see my tree at night. I think it is so magical and wish you could see it in person. One strand of lights are set to blink, twinkle, glow etc. It is so fun to watch and see what comes next. So here are a few photos for you to see.

Last night, burning the midnight oil once again, Connie came and decorated our piano. I was the clean up girl. I basically did whatever she told me to do in between my cleaning. I have no clue and feel like I am in the way when she is in her zone. So I just pick up wrappers and vacuum snow. Here is what the piano looked like this morning. I think it is beautiful and full of fun!

Her husband Rick is decorating our mantel using pieces of their village. So I will have more photos later of that. It will be so pretty and I promise you have never seen a village like they have. It is truly magical and unbelievable. Store displays aren’t as nice as their village. They have been collecting pieces for years and really do a wonderful job putting it all together. Now if I could just find someone to finish up my shopping and making my cards I would really have this Christmas stuff finished in no time. Sadly though, I think I have used up all of my elves and better kick it into high gear as I can feel the clock ticking down fast.

Happy Holidays.

Wow… I think I have finally calmed down from my fabulous day yesterday. I will certainly be scrapping Nov. 9, 2006 for sure! It was just one great moment after another. Thank you to all who have e-mailed me with Congrats and good luck wishes. I’m just overwhelmed that so many would take the time to e-mail me. Hugs to all of you. I thought I would post the mini album I created to try for a spot on the 2007 Maya Road Design Team. I love altering chipboard! There are so many ways to make a project really unique with their products… painting, sanding, covering with paper etc. If you have not tried their products you really need to do so. Their quality is top notch! I am also having a great time with my new sewing machine. My BIL surprised me with a new one. I must say I don’t think I have ever been so surprised over an unexpected gift as I was that day. Thanks again, Dougie! It is just too much fun to use all the different stitches. You will notice a lot of sewing in my entry as well as all my layouts and projects. Well, wishing everyone a wonderful day and thanks again for all your support. Now I just have to wait until the 14th to see if I am one of the final 6.
