Love from LJC

One of my favorite blogs to read is LJC FYI. I have been reading it for years. About 3 years ago I sent her a comment about how much I loved her blog....no response. My sister emailed her about a craft and LJC EMAILED HER BACK!!!! It's like I have met the Pope!!!

Your wreaths are really cute! Are the photos black and white? That is a great idea to keep them from overwhelming the holiday colors.

Hi Jenny -

I've been reading your personal blog for more than 2.5 years now and enjoy your posts on Kodak.com as well. I recently hosted a Christmas Craft Party where friends and family gathered to make photo picture wreaths. I thought you might enjoy seeing the finished product, as you're crafty and because the project requires wallet-sized pictures, which I ordered (and encouraged others) from the Kodak Gallery! :) Many of my friends made these as gifts - and it's a fun way to capture pictures of your kids, pets and loved ones.

Anyway, thanks for sharing all of your fun ideas and life happenings. My sister and I enjoy reading them and have been inspired to blog ourselves. You rock!

Happy Holidays!

Christmas Party

Every year Pablo's work has their Christmas party at the Biltmore hotel. Last night was my 3rd year attending. Pablo forgot the camera on the kitchen counter so no photos of us! :( The hotel is always decorated so nice....they have a gingerbread contest and all of the houses are in the lobby. We had a really good time!

Calen's Birthday Gift

Amazon.com is shipping Cal's birthday gift to him! I hope he likes it....

Officially a dork...

As previously posted, I saw Twilight 3 times in the theatre...so far. In the movie the main character has the cutest cell phone that I have ever seen! I just had to have one. So I finally found it and bought it....it came in the mail yesterday. I am soooo excited! :)

Christmas Card Rejects...

This year Pecas is Mrs. Claus and Max is Santa

Save the Sign!

Please check out my sister's blog today about the Made in Oregon sign in Portland (www.orwoodwards.blogspot.com). This sign is the cutest thing...they even put a red nose on the deer every December. The sign has been around since 1940 and they are trying to change it into a University of Oregon sign. Even if you have never been to Portland, help save the sign from becoming just another billboard by emailing your thoughts to Portland's historic landmark planners! Save the sign!

Things done over the 4 day weekend...

• Bought my first cashmere sweater
• Finished my Christmas wreath

• Went to JoAnn's and bought Christmas decorations for the house...I also made a "Merry Christmas" for the fireplace!

• Watched The Family Stone while the turkey baked


• Went to my neighborhood park on Saturday. They have a farmer's market....I bought veggies, fruit and local honey. Max went with me and made a lot of friends.

• Watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. I just love James Taylor and he was in it this year!
• My Aunt Karen came up for a day. We went shopping in Cave Creek and had a really nice lunch at Tonto's Bar and Grill (on the golf course, very pretty, and YUMMY food). She bought a rocking chair and I walked away with a mexican fireplace (chiminah?) and a cactus yard art piece. There was a TON of yard art at every store we went to....one looked like the Serta sheep to me...
  
  
  
• Went with Cam and saw Australia...SO GOOD!
• I am poor this year, so I made Christmas decor out of last year's cards that we got and some cute ribbon that I had.
