Santa Baby

Just because she's tiny, doesn't mean she shouldn't get to sit on Santa's lap this year.

Jonathan and I had been dreading the visit to Mall Santa..neither one of us likes going to the mall.  Then waiting in line with a possibly screaming baby who like to poop on herself, to get a crappy photo.  Not worth the effort!  Enter The Mullikin Studio!  They've had a brilliant idea...they get Santa to come to their studio and you book a specific time to visit.  No waiting, no screaming, and best of all, no mall!  These are the people who took our maternity photos, and Aurora's newborn photos.  We're getting ready for her 3 month photos (can you believe it?!)  But in the mean time..

 Santa and Mrs. Claus.  Aurora is on the good list.

A personal favorite.  No crying, and no pooping, but a little yawning.

We tried for a smile, but couldn't get one.  Oh well. 

Keep on the lookout for 2 month pictures, that's next week already!  And Turkey Day!

Christmas Beasties 2010

So I haven't managed to do anything crafty lately, but I have managed to take pictures of my fur-babies for our Christmas card this year.

Oliver did pretty amazing! Once he figured out he was getting treats..he was all for sitting still.

And he didn't mind the Santa hat that much.

Adorable!



Bean also did fairly well.

He loves treats. He was eating one here..

Aster did not like it at all.

But I managed to get a few decent shots. He was interested while it was his brother's turn..but when his number came up, he was having none of it.

Chippy is always the most difficult.

19 pounds of cat, it's difficult to make him do what you want. Since he can't smell he is not food motivated.

I think our Christmas cards are going to be pretty cute this year. Look for them coming to a mail box near you...in the next few weeks.

Hope everyone is having a good holiday season.

Christmas Tree and Christmas Kitties

I promised some Christmas tree and kitty pictures, so that is what I'll be delivering today. Some of these pictures were on the Christmas cards Jonathan and I sent out this year...yeah we're those people..we don't have any kids, so we use cats...

Any way, this is our tree, it looks a bit different now, there's more stuff on it, after we went to Sam's club, we found some more stuff that matches the theme we already have..it looks pretty awesome. There's more stuff under it too :-)

We spent a long time trying to take these pictures, because cats just don't want to cooperate. This is Aster by himself in the sleigh we borrowed from Jonathan's mother.

This is my winner, Bean being so cute in the Santa hat. He was the only one we could get to wear that hat. This is why he gets to stay..because he's do darn cute.

Chippy was the most difficult, he didn't want to participate at all.

It was tough to get all three of them to sit together. We wanted so badly to have them sitting with the sleigh, but it just wouldn't happen.

In the end we got them all on the table together, mostly looking in the same direction.

Our cards turned out really cute, I think.

I'm ready for this weekend, I've finished my mother's Christmas cards, so maybe I'll put a few more of them up, maybe not..because you can see them all in my Scrapjazz gallery. I'm glad that I can get back to some other projects, because you see, I haven't made the scrapbook from out New England trip, and that is going to be a lot of work.

Better get to it.

More Christmas Cards

I realize it's been a long time since I've done anything on here..but seriously, I've been working...see..3 cards.

I really love these digi fairies from The Greeting Farm..they've created one for each season, this is the Autumn fairy, and I love it for this Christmas Card.


I'm pretty pleased how this card turned out as well. The stamp is from the Reason for the Season over at All That Scraps.

This card started out life as something totally different, but I'm glad I changed it, this looks way better. I don't know if you can tell but all the snowflakes are sparkly with Stickles. I did the border with a Martha Stewart punch.

This picture didn't turn out the way I wanted (big surprise). But the letters are embossed, I used white ink and clear embossing powder. Also, the snow under the presents is Stickles covered with white flocking powder..it actually looks pretty cool in person. It's like sparkly fuzzy snow.

That's all for now..hopefully more to come soon.

Elf Shoe Card

I'm still busy busy working on Christmas cards, and this is what I have today.
I've seen someone do this somewhere, but can't remember where. Elf shoes! How cute is this...

The stamp is from the Ollie and Griselda Halloween set over at All That Scraps, I made Halloween cards with it as witch shoes.

Yes, those are real jingle bells on the shoes..so when you shake the card they make noise.

This is the inside, I don't have a saying or anything..yet, I'm waiting on the approval from the boss lady.

Short post today, that's all I have for now.
