One of my goals for December is to give a gift each day in December. Today I managed to give three gifts. So that should cover me for tomorrow, too.

1) I gave a 1969 Auburn cookbook to a friend at work.
2) I made a layout for my neighbor of her son and new daughter-in-law on their wedding day.
3) I helped a friend resolve a problem, it was kind of a unexpected blessing for them.

The only one I can share, because it is digital is the layout. So here it is:



Thanks for reading, and I would love for you to leave me a comment so I know you stopped by.

I am so excited, I am joining the Charming Girls Quilt Club. This is going to be so much fun. I plan to be participating in projects with the group and posting my progress. Wish me luck!

Here is a link Charming Chatter, if you want to know more about it.

Mama’s Holiday Wish List Meme

TodaysMama and GameStop are giving away a sleighful of gifts this holiday season and to enter I’m sharing this meme with you.

1. What is your holiday wish for your family?
My holiday wish for my family is that we can gather and enjoy one another's company, that we can look beyond our differences and choose to love each other.

2. What is your Christmas morning tradition?
Coffee, presents, breakfast, fun!

3. If you could ask Santa for one, completely decadent wish for yourself, what would it be?
New floors throughout the house.

4. How do you make the holidays special without spending any money?
Decorating the house and visiting places that are beautifully decorated. Enjoying Christmas Cantatas, and giving what I can to those less fortunate.

5. What games did you play with your family growing up?
Card games with my Sister and jigsaw puzzles with my Dad.

6. What holiday tradition have you carried on from your own childhood?
Opening one fist on Christmas eve, and getting together with family.

7. Where would you go for a Christmas-away-from-home trip?
I would go to Key West, Florida or to Europe to visit the Bavarian Christmas Markets.

8. Check out GameStop and tell us, what are the three top items on your GameStop Wish List this year?
Xbox 360, Fable III, and Beautiful Katamari.

Take a look at this awesome illustration set "Kelly Bea" by Wish Bliss Studio. I just love this artwork. It is so cute and whimsical and perfect for fun seaside scrapbooking pages. The product is available at Scrap Artist. Product is linked to the store.

Wow, what an awesome weekend. Three day holiday weekend and lot accomplished. I finished 4 layouts and put away all our Christmas decorations. Whew, wish I could leave it up all year. I so enjoyed having the tree up.

Next on my agenda is to begin the Art Caravan Journal, journaling with digital art. Please leave me a comment if you like my posted layouts.
