Glove Swap

 OK so I am addicted to swaps, they are so much fun. I love getting mail even if it is just a postcard. I did a glove swap hosted by Stacey. My partner was Jen and I so love the soft gloves she sent as well as the yummy scent of the tea light candles she sent.

Thank's Jen and Stacey!

                                                       

Valentine door hanger

 I have seen on a few other blogs valentine door hangers that they made, and I loved the idea. So I wanted to make one but mine is a little different, kind of like me. I got the heart at Michael's Craft Store and the tulle at the Craft Warehouse. It did take about 1 1/2 hours to make, there was a lot of cutting and tying. I am not sure if I love it yet but it will do.

This is what I was going for,

but them I kind of liked it this way.

This is to confusing for me, I am so critical of my so called crafting.

A couple swaps

Last month I did a Santa swap hosted by The Mommy-Files.  My swap partner was Sarah. I loved what I got and my kids were just as happy because she sent them some goodies as well

 

Sorry the pictures are kind of crappy

I also did a secret Santa mug swap. I guess I am still not suppose to know who my secret Santa was because I have no clue who sent it to me. Silly me let the person I sent my stuff to know who I am.

              You can't really see but there is a gift card to Starbucks as well.

 Thank you both of my partners and to the people who hosted the swaps as well. I loved what I got and had fun doing the swaps.

Christmas

This is a late post as well but I decided to skip my other December post and go strait to Christmas. We went to my mom and dad's on Christmas eve along with other family. All the kids draw names and the adults buy a decoration and then we play a game to see who gets what. Well when I opened mine I was happy with it, but I was a little surprised because it was not a decoration. Well the box is a joke box the real gift was inside. Everyone was laughing as I opened it but I still didn't get that it was a joke till they told me. So I am slow sue me .I really did think it would of been a different but neat kid of thing. I got a new laptop from my hubby so now I have 2, I also got a cool donut maker which makes really good donuts I might add,  I got few other things that was just as good. Oh well on to my pictures because I am a picture person you know.

This is the Joke box but you have to agree it looks kind of neat

   The night we got our tree. It was SO COLD that night

Yes Santa even gives Emma gifts and left her a cute little doggy stocking

Alyssa's B-Day Party

 I am so behind on my post because dumb comcast messed with our Internet so I have not been able to post. I will start with Alyssa and Kevin's Birthday which was last month. Alyssa has not had a  friend party for the last 3 years so she decided she wanted one this year. She had it at the roller rink. She ended up with 15 kids I think. It was a LONG party. It was from 12:00-4:30, but all the kids had a good time, there was so much going on that  it went by really fast. Well Kevin and Alyssa's birthday are on  the same day so we had to get a picture of him also.

Alyssa is always begging me to buy us something that matches so we got her these for her b-day.

She was very happy but she really wants us to have matching dresses and I don't wear dresses!
