Dishin' the Digi

Found a sweet little note in my inbox this morning to say that my Line 'em up papers were one of the featured products in this week's dishing the digi show over at Disc Talk radio. How fun is that? Gotta love those girls!  Thanks Shanah and Deann!  You can listen to Dishin' the digi free each week after you register for the site here. It's a great little program that lists products, layouts and more for you to check out. All that's fun new and exciting. I love that they have links right there to all of the products and layouts they mention. You can also register for the pay programs as well. Such a fun concept for the world of digi!

I've shown them before but here are the featured papers from TwoPeas.  Speaking of TwoPeas I just finished up a kit for the 1st of January. I took a month off so I am excited to release this next one. Think girlie. :)   It's been crazy with deadlines around here so it has been nice to have some time to sit back and design the past week. Love that feeling!!  I'm all ready for Christmas break now. Some time to rest and rejuvenate. Phew!

Mackenzie was an angel in her little production at the preschool. She has been practicing the songs non-stop for the past 4-5 weeks and was eager to show them off at the show. I had to work that day so Tim took the morning off and took the video camera along. She was sooo cute!  I think we have watched that video about 10 times now.  Kenzie loves to see all of her little friends on stage. They sang about 6 songs and played a few little instruments before heading upstairs at the church for snacks and refreshments with the parents. It's crazy how fast they grow up. I keep thinking about next year and how I will have a little Kindergarten kiddo at home! Wow!

Here's to a HAPPY HOLIDAYS and a Merry Christmas to everyone!  I'm looking forward to the New Year. CHA is coming up at the end of January in California- woohoo!!  I'm excited about this next line. Once again lots of blood sweat and tears, but in the end I like it. It makes me happy. I have also been seeing the Notables popping up everywhere lately and it is soo much fun!!

Look who we saw...

We've got winners!

Before I get to the winners, I have to share this photo. I came into the livingroom the other day to find these guys all set up and ready to read their newly borrowed library books. So cute!  The lighting was dark but sometimes you just need to take the shot. I need to do a layout about Kenzie's habits with her toys lately. She is too funny! 

Ok onto the winners. I asked my hubby to pick two numbers between 1 and 23 and he chose #6 and #19.  So GinaCO and Marla you are the lucky winners of some new notables!  Yay!!  Send me your addresses and I'll get them out to you.  Thanks so much everyone for playing!  I am so excited to see these guys in use. The design team has been making some gorgeous projects with them lately and I love love love seeing how people are inspired.  I even saw the notes stamp sneak onto Ali's Disney album- how fun is that?

My report cards go out at work tomorrow- phew! Always feels to good to have those done and out of the way. Then it is onto the rest of my Christmas shopping and my Christmas cards. I have a pile of stuff that needs to be mailed this weekend and I am terrible with postal stuff so I need to get it done asap and take another load off. I'm also watching the mail closely over the next few days. I am in two Christmas swaps and am eagerly awaiting my surprises. So fun to get presents in the mail! And the added intrigue of them both being secret santas makes it even more fun. Can't wait to find out who has me and conversely, I can't wait until my recipients get their packages.  It was fun to buy for them both. :) 

Kenzie and I have been crafting up a storm lately as well. We've made tags to put onto the presents from her this Christmas. We've made ornaments for the Christmas tree and ornaments for he advent calendar. She is having a blast. We also have a kitchen window plastered with snowflakes. And I mean lots! She drew the designs and I cut them out. It has been so fun making stuff with her the older she gets. Now, she wants to make little picture tags for all of her friends at preschool. I am thinking we could make a bunch of them and then tie a little treat or cookie onto each one for the kids in her class. She would love that! I used the frame's from my Frame'emUp set as an overlay over her picture before I printed them out- super easy!
