Be Merry-December Daily-Day 19 and 20

This page makes me giggle. My dear husband was riding passenger while I drove. I got a text message on my phone and he decided to answer it since I couldn't. Of course my daughter in law (who he was answering) knew it wasn't me right away and asked if it was him. Instead of texting back he took this "selfie" and sent it to her. He surprises me sometimes with the things he does. He's not one to take pictures of himself so I had to document it.

Us girls, on the other hand, love to take our picture. Kylee is still learning, but we're teaching her while she's still young. Khloë knows what it's all about. Lol. The bottom picture was taken while I was watching the girls. Their mommy and daddy had a Christmas party to attend and I was lucky enough to spend the evening playing and posing for pictures with the girls.

December Daily-Day 17 and 18

I think this is one of my favorite pages in my album. It's very simple, but looks a little more decorated.

The strip on the left is just a piece of paper cut to fit from the Simple Stories December kit. The Christmas sticker on December 18th was a freebie I got when I placed an order for supplies. That's two more days that are done!

More Tumblers to Decorate-December Daily-Day 16

I really love these tumblers and I guess I'm not alone. My older nieces (ages 16-19 years) asked if I would make them some for Christmas. I of course went to the store and bought a whole bunch of them. I only need to make about 6, but I think I bought 20 just in case.

In the past I've only gotten the clear ones, but I'm excited to see how these colored ones turn out. The hard part will be deciding which color for which niece. I'll post an update later on how they turned out.

Time to Party-December Daily-Day 14 and 15

I'm still playing catch-up. I know I've already posted these pictures of the tumblers and the birthday girl, but this is how they look in my December Daily album.

All the kids loved their tumblers with their names on them. They also loved having their faces painted. The funny part was after I took this picture of Khloë and showed it to her. She hadn't looked in the mirror so when I showed her the picture she was all excited and laughing at herself because she had a red nose.

Merry Christmas and December Daily-Day 13

Merry Christmas. I hope you all have a safe, healthy and enjoyable holiday season. I will be with family and away from the computer for at least the day so this is just another day from my December Daily. I'm still trying to catch up, but I'm getting closer. I think.

The entire week before Khloë's birthday was a rush trying to get everything done. Mike was a sweetheart and cut out the Mickey/Minnie Mouse heads for me. These will be covered in black and used for photo props at the party.

Some of my Favorite Things and December Daily-Day12

Merry Christmas Eve.
Yumm, Krispy Kreme donuts. When I heard Krispy Kreme was having a sale where you buy one dozen donuts you get a dozen free I had to go. I just had to.

The sale was supposed to be for glazed donuts only, but by the time I got to the cashier to pay for my order they were completely out of glazed donuts. Not to panic me, the lady at the register quickly says, "This is your lucky day. Instead of plain glazed donuts you can have your choice of a dozen filled donuts." Hmmmmm, I'll have lemon and strawberry and apple and........

And no, I did not eat ALL of them myself, but yes, I do need to do a little extra exercising now. And to think I got past Thanksgiving without any extra baggage. I can't say I got through December in the same shape.

How to catch a cat

I guess it's true what they say about cats and boxes. If there's a box in the house the cat is in it. It doesn't matter what size it is or if I'm trying to use it or not. She will squeeze herself into it and claim it as her own. This has made Christmas wrapping somewhat of a challenge. Just when I find the perfect size box for the present I need to wrap Starlet see's it too.

Minnie Mouse Decorations Cont.

I found these close-up pictures of the Minnie Mouse decorations and gifts so I thought I would share.

This first Minnie Mouse was hanging out at the food table. She was cut as large as I could to fit her on a 12x24 mat using the Mickey and Friends Cricut cartridge.

Another large Minnie Mouse cut to fit a 12x24 mat. She was put on a stick and was holding some balloons in the front yard to greet guests to the party.

After the party my little grand-daughter wanted to keep her decorations so they went up on the wall in her bedroom.

A close-up of the cups before the polka dots were added.

I think the dots make them so much cuter. The boys got red and black. The girls got pink and black. Khloë got a special cup with a pink band around it.

I have a few more pictures of the name tags for the food, but I still have to get them on the computer. I'll be back with those later.

December Daily - Trying to catch up

Day 9- Preparations for Khloë's birthday party.

Day 10- Freezing weather and ice on the windshields.

Minnie Mouse Birthday Party

Happy Birthday to my first born Grand-daughter Khloë. She turns 3 years old in two days. Her birthday party was on Sunday and afterwards she proclaimed: "I want my party again!" I guess it was a hit and she had a good time.

Khloë helped me put Minnie Mouse out front to greet her guests.

At the front door guests were greeted with a Minnie Mouse rug and a door hanging that announced Khloë's 3rd Birthday.

Inside there were banners .

 

Another picture of her birthday banner.

Another large Minnie Mouse hanging out by the food.

A cake for the Birthday Girl.

Tumblers for each of the kids with their names in vinyl. Mouse ears made with felt and goodie bags.

A large Minnie Mouse photo prop for all the kiddos. This was a lot of fun and I found the kids all asking to take their pictures. A special thanks to my friend Scrapalette at http://scrapalette.blogspot.com/2013/11/chalkboard-name-cards.html for the idea. She had a big Cricut cut out for a photo prop at the Cricut Circle Mania in Georgia.

We also had Christmas bulbs decorated with the names of the kids in vinyl that they were able to decorate on the inside.

One last picture (for now). Me and 2nd Grand-daughter Kylee.

We also made food labels and a few other banners. I'll have to see if I got any pictures of those.
