First up - in scrappy news here are two I have finished. You can clearly see that I was diving back into my random photos to scrap box as these are from three decades apart. These four random images of my daddy and his dog Phaedra were first in the pile and, with that little fox in mind, this page used some scraps and some more fussy cutting from that pretty floral paper int he Cocoa Daisy kit.
Next up is a long overdue page to add to Jarad's firefighter album that I stared when he first joined HFD. This is his "big" promotion ceremony to EO that happened in 2009. These pages are hard - gotta keep them manly but I like them pretty at the same time. I am kinda over the fire related paper and such but for fun I may pull some of that stash out and try to use it sparingly to keep the flavor of the book. I still need to add to this - more photos need to be printed first. He was just promoted to Jr. Captain so I need to get that in the book too.
I have about three pages that are almost finished that still need to be added and - wait for it - 6 weeks of Project Life that I completed over Thanksgiving break to add to. I am now only 5 weeks behind! I am totally gonna catch up. (happy dance)
Update - here is one of the now completed pages -
And in non scrappy news:
I made cinnamon rolls from scratch - they were slap your momma good. Found the recipe on Sally's Baking Addiction - it is the overnight roll recipe. I can't recommend it enough. The kids would agree.
We spend Friday decorating our house and then Saturday doing my mothers. She was all smiles to have everything done and the boxes put away. Yes, I asked them to pose for a post decorating photo. They are so good to me.
Then we celebrated Jarad's birthday with a little brownie sunday fun. He and Wyatt watched the Texans and we played a game of Wits and Wagers together - fun game - I think we have many more rounds in our future.
And of course - Peppermint has returned!!!
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Merry Christmas!
