Love taking the afternoon off to read... or to scrap!

The Uptown kit is filled with fabulous characters, furniture, and props!

Sit down and enjoy a fresh baked pastry with the morning paper

Celebrating Christmas

Even the animals of the forest are friends with Father Christmas

ah, the memories!

Oh what fun it is to ride!

I loved Arline Florentino's scene with the polar bear flying the Christmas plane & dropping presents with the little girl watching in wonder. I had to scraplift it. Thank you Arline for the inspiration!

Merry Christmas! Wouldn't it be fun to be invited to tour Santa's workshop? 2 page spread… hope you can see the details

Nothing like a relaxing in a hot sudsy tub after a long day of shopping!

The mouse choir sing Silent Night

I love train scenes - especially winter train scenes.

Looks like Mr Mouse has found himself a small tree! Just a short drive thru Mushroom Forest, and he'll soon be home with his family in Mouse Town.

I see someone peeking in the window looking for a midnight snack!

I fell in love with a scene created by Ana Santos. The toys were placed perfectly under the tree, and the elf holding the lantern was soooo cute! I had to scraplift it! Here's my take on the Elfin Magic. Thank you Ana for the inspiration!

When you're as hungry as a bear, you need a BIG cupcake!

Who knew mice could sing? And play guitar?!

The bears get together in the forest to exchange gifts

I know this family looks sad, even though we think they should be happy at Christmas. We must remember many people have experienced a loss, and the Holidays are a reminder that their loved one will not be with them this year. We should always treat others with kindness, but especially this time...
