Mommy's Little Elves

My little elves have been very busy. Check this out!

Cards

My mom has me on a new kick...handmade cards! She has ALL the equipment to make it super fun, so I'm making our family cards this year.



These are my first 6. I decided to go with a very untraditional combination - pink & green! I had some paper in a Christmas Paper Stack from last year left over, so I decided to start there. I think they're adorable! I'm looking forward to making the rest. I have 30 to go!!



I used a combination of Cuttlebug Embossing Folders (snowflakes), Cricut Christmas (Merry), buttons and ribbon. I've learned that the trick to cards is the embossing and ink/chalk. Those 2 things can totally change the look.


I'll be adding more over the next week as I get them done. I also have another Christmas project in process. Hopefully I'll finish that this week!


We did get the lights on the house and the tree up. Thanks to Lamar...He's done a LOT of work this weekend!

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving. I've enjoyed playing with the girls, spending time with family, shopping and of course eating. Here's some pictures from our trip to Salado.

Mommy & Karsyn tired and FULL - ready to take a nap on the road.

Attempt 1 of many to get a Kirk Family Picture for Gigi's Christmas cards.

Since we're all dressed, let's try to get a family picture...turned out just like they always do! I think Daddy's worse than the girls! :)

They're like the Osmonds only cuter!

Sorry...bad joke, but they've been in the news so much lately I couldn't help it.

For your enjoyment "My God is so Great" and "The Itsy Bitsy Spider"

So...what is today? November 7th...not even Thanksgiving and one of our local stations is playing Christmas music and nothing else. Ahhhh!!! I don't think I can handle it. I love Christmas and have grown to like Christmas music, but there's just something about playing it before Thanksgiving that I don't like. Anyone else agree???

By the way - I'm going to try and video the girls singing some songs tonight. Too cute!
