Christmas Poem

Here's a poem thats perfect for us scrapper's....  I got this off of Scrap-n-away's blog.  This is a retreat up in the mountains in Fraizer Park, CA...  Lovely looking place and I hear good things about it.  Bonnie the owner says she received it in an email and doesn't know the author....  LMAO after reading it!!  Even DH thought it was funny...Twas the night before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas, I'm glued to the tree.
I'm wondering what Santa brought just for me.
Could it be cardstock or chipboard or lace?
Or a Cricut, I said, with a smile on my face.
And that's when I heard him,
"Hi Santa, " I said
"You know....good little girls
should be in their beds."
"I know I should Santa,
and now I've got caught.
But I was just so excited
To see what you brought."
"Well, let's take a look
in this room where you work.
He shook his head quickly,
And left with a jerk.
I heard him exclaim
as he put it in gear.
"You've got enough crap,
I'll see you next year!

December Daily Album Day 4

I got behind on my LO's but am slowly catching up.... Have to do yesterday's and today's....  Here's our decorated tree.

Supplies:

Everything is from J3 Designs... Except the little boy which I received in the mail from a friend.  (Saturday Evening Post)   TFL.....PattiM

Journaling:

Our grandson's decorated the tree with ornaments from the past and the present.  We took pictures of the whole process, the fun, the mess, even us standing in front of the tree.  See how beautiful our Christmas tree looks.  See how it shines with the light.  When you come into the house and see the tree, you just know Santa will be coming to our house to leave that one special present for each child.  And we will look back years from now and remember it all.  Only problem is, after Mema charged the battery for the camera - knowing that she would have lots of pictures to scrapbook - she forgot to check to see if the memory card was in the camera... OOOOOPS!

SANTA BABY BY BASIC GREY

HEATHER at ALL MOMENTS REMEMBERED (My favorite place to shop)posted this on the MB.  I came in her newsletter from Basic Grey.  I left some links to what the name is and some I put what I like that matched.....  Have fun drooling.....

Santa baby, slip some Wassail™ under the tree, for me 
I’ve been a awful good girl 
Santa baby, I have a crop to go to tonight 
Santa baby, a collection pack of Bittersweet™ too, will do 
Valentine’s is coming so fast 
Santa baby, I want to make my love cards tonight 
Think of all that I’ll create 
Think of all the pages that simply cannot wait 
Next year I’ll be a good girl, too 
If you’ll bring me some BG loot 
[bah-dum, bah-dum] 
Santa baby, I want a set of printed chip shapes, in case 
I need some stars on my page 
Santa baby, bring me one of every set 
Santa honey, there’s one little thing I really need, a mat— 
magnetic with all the tacks 
Santa baby, a Rub-On Roller would be the best 
Come and make my holidays 
with some color rub-ons so that I can play 
I really do believe you know 
That BasicGrey would make my Christmas glow 
[bah-dum, bah-dum] 
Santa cutie, fill my sock with buttons and 
stamps and brads 
glazed and painted for me 
Santa baby, I have a lot of projects to make 
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a pack 
of every BasicGrey line 
Santa baby, I know you’ll fit them into your sack

THANK YOU FOR THE SURPRISES IN MY MAIL!!

I want to thank everyone for the sweet surprises that arrived in my mail box.  It's always nice to receive from my scrapping/card making friends.  THANK YOU!!
The first 2 pictures are from Heather over at All Moments Remembered.  She's the DT coordinator and as you can see she's very talented.  Not only did she send this cute ATC but she also sent this adorable necklace that she made.  Her ATC says:

{Every day lived well makes yesterday a fond remembrance and every tomorrow a dream of hope.}

This next ATC is from Lyn.  Tilda & Friends ATC CHallenge Blog did a swap and I was lucky enough to receive this cute ATC from her by air mail (par avion).    This cute Christmas card and Friends Forever Atc are from a AMR member I've met IRL.  Samantha/ScrappySam is mega talented and such a sweetie.  And last but in no way the least is a Christmas card from Leslie/SoCalScrapr.  The picture came out a little blurry but you can see how cute the card is and it brought a huge smile to my face.  I would also like to let Leslie know she's in my thoughts and prayer's.  Hope your day goes easy and your symptom free.  We're all sending positive vibes your way.  Lots of hugs, PattiM
