Such a cool template, your paper and photos make it seem like beautiful stained glass!

Soooo cool! I love how you stripped down the template and created this gorgeous LO! I had to do a double take at it to see the -once seen, can't be unseen - template, snowflake, and clusters :p

I don't think there is any way possible to catch up on both Sat/Sun personals, so I'm gonna take my own gosh dang advice and not stress about it. At least not stress too much. I'll read through everything -- and maybe I'll leave it at that. ETA: I read through the entire weekend thread and...

It can't really be Monday? For real? I feel like I need a restart for a full weekend. A three-day weekend, perhaps. Who knows how to make that happen? Anyone? Bueller? Cait and I had a good day yesterday with our baking. I say good, rather than great, because we had more than a few technical...

Christmas Eve is always at my parents' house, ever since I was a kid. That meal starts with snacks and appetizers. Always need the teeny-weenies- meat and vegan options. Quichess. My mom insists on making a lagana and ham with all of the sides. We fill up there and then roll out the door. Next...

ME tooooooooo!!!!!

100%! My tree is a mismatch of ornaments through the years-- including many handmade ones by my kids!

That's a fascinating train of thought. I hadn't considered the "why." But I think you are right about it. Everything is louder, brighter, "noisier," so it's like my senses and brain are overwhelmed. The purple LO I scrapped was almost jarring to look at. I am going to keep that in mind as I...

I am guessing for @GraceJ 1. Lie 2. True 3. True Next up from me: 1. My Christmas tree has a theme; everything matches. 2. I could eat Christmas cookies at every meal. 3. Santa visits my childhood home on the fire engine on Christmas Eve.

Bwuahahaha!!!! David is in the doghouse this year :jail1:

You are correct!! My "kids" are 27 and 29 and they still get gifts from Santa and a stocking too :D

Good morning! It is only 7 am and this poor Faery is already feeling swamped! I have so much to do around the house before our 8+ hours of nonstop baking begins. I am patting myself on the back, I remembered to get the butter and cream cheese out of the fridge. A few minutes ago, I finished my...

@scribler 1. Lie 2. True 3. True (I can't see you making David purchase allllll his gifts! But-- maybe I am wrong:D) My family considers Christmas a full two-day holiday. Santa doesn't bring presents to my house anymore. I watch It's a Wonderful Life when I wrap presents.

The shabby paper and softly colored journal cards are beautiful, the LO feels very cozy and vintage!

I love the soft colors and your clustering is so realistic!
