It's That Time of Year Again

Yup, it's Elf Yourself time!

I had a BLAST elfing the kiddos.  I snatched a couple of pix from Jessie's blog, found some good ones of the Bit and the Bean, and here are the results:



This one just cracks me UP! :o)

Then, new this year:



There are eight "dances" in total and they are all HYSTERICAL!  Go. Play.  Enjoy! :o)

*********************
Today's Sparklies:

1.  I do believe Miss Beanie is feeling a bit better.  She's still a nasty mess, but not quite as grumpy today.
2.  I just love all the holiday crafts Lil and I get to do together.  The hand print wreath is coming together nicely.  I'm also planning on a foot and hand reindeer, a couple of projects Paul sends along, and a clothespin reindeer.  That one's a must!
3.  I got my chores done early today!  I missed yesterday's bathroom cleaning courtesy a Bean who needed holding, so I got all the bathrooms clean and the vacuuming done. Yay!  Jaydee, you asked about my ratio of vinegar to water to avoid smelling like a chips shop.  I use a ratio of approximately 1/3 cup:2/3 cup vinegar to water and then add about 20 drops of essential oils to cut the aroma some.  My current mix is peppermint, cassia, cinnamon leaf, and clove bud with a drop or two of tea tree thrown in for disinfecting purposes.
4.  Elfing the kids! :o)
5.  I got my list from Jen today so I'll have only one gift left to purchase.  YES!!!
6.  I tallied up the number of Christmas cards I'm going to need this year and came up with approximately 80.  I will go CRAZY if I make 80 of the same card, so I decided to do 5 or 6 different designs.  I made 9 cards last night, and found three winners in the bunch.  I've a couple more ideas percolating and I'll work on them tonight.  I'm excited because my poor, neglected stamping blog is finally going to see some action again, lol! :o)

No milestones.

So much fun!

We have a handprint wreath wall hanging on our front door. K- did it last year with her Kindergarten teacher. It is lovely.

My son's foot and handprint reindeer (although we call it a moose) is our tree topper! I love, love, love it!
