JYC 3

Today day 3 of December ( actually writing this on the 4th. oops) The prompt is all about cards! Ahh Christmas card.... I used to have them out timely and send lots of them as the years go bye less and less cards get sent. This year I my goal is to send out 30 hand made Christmas cards. I will start making them on monday the 6th of December, all I need is to design them, sign them, write an message in them and put the address on the envelops put stamps on them, and mail them off by Christmas! Isn't it sad we do not have even One Christmas card yet! Well we have the ones from last year out. I will have to admit I love getting cards in the mail any type! So let the card creativeness begin!

JYC 2 - The weather

Prompt for day 2 - We discuss the weather on the 2nd of December. Well today is not a normal December 2nd. It is cold about 45 degrees out and we have sun and no wind. We have been having high winds lately. Our first snow came on Monday November 22nd and lasted about 3 days. The freeway (I5) was shut down because of all the snow and ice. Even though the road was sanded and salted the snow froze over it and was one big skating rink. On a normal day Dad can get home in little over an hour on this day it took little over 7 1/2 hours. I am hopeful that we will get more snow and I want it for a snowy Christmas.

JYC 1

Hi, I have been a bad blogger so to kick off me blogging again I have decide to take a class online called Journal Your Christmas. I get prompts/suggestions about what to write about each day, my goal is to write something on my blog everyday. So the prompt for day 1 is all about making a Christmas manifesto - making a promise to yourself to enjoy this project and relish the holiday season.

I was going to do a digital scrapbook or album this year but know I will never have the time right now to complete it sooo It will all be about me blogging my Christmas with pictures and stories. I am really excited and am now done with day one! go me!! ;)

Almost Artesian award day 2

This is a 3pc outfit. The jacket is from the dollar store the jeans are from a thrift store and the onsies are from a chain store. I tie died the onsie with re inkers, and ironed on the big shot flowers border to the onsie, jacket, and jeans. It was really easy and I think it turned out really cute! To tie die the onsie all you do is put water and drops of re-inkers into a shallow baking dish. (I used rubberbands to make my circles) Put onsie in until you get the color you want. I then rung it out and put it in the dryer, once dried I undid the rubberbands and voila, finished. To set the die put 1 cup vinegar in the wash with your onsie after it is the color you want it.
