Altered House using Nikki Sivils "North Pole Nights"

I had a devil of a time taking a photo of this! There were too many shadows, it was blurry, my tree wouldn't stand up.... I have had this done for several days now, and today was the day to finally get a decent photo! However, it was fun to make. I love these papers from Nikki's Christmas line. I especially love the little elf. Isn't he just the cutest?

A lo using Nikki Sivils "North Pole Nights"

This is my hubby "modeling" his new boots from last Christmas. If you have seen lo's of him in the past, you usually know that he always acting goofy. I guess that is one of the reasons I love him! Everything on the lo is part of the Nikki Sivils "North Pole Nights" collection - minus the goofy pics and letters. To see what other adorable products she carries, check out her website here https://www.nikkisivils.com/mm5/merchant.mvc Thanks for looking!! Have a great weekend!!

Happy Friday everyone!! It is a beautiful day here in Cypress, Texas. It is around 75 degrees, and it is November!! Ahh, that is the one thing good about being back down south. I might be shoveling snow if right now if I were up north!

Some Pebble's Inc. for ya!

I hardly ever do these clean line lo's or this size for that matter. However, I decided I would go for it. I actually love how it turned out. More so, I guess because I adore this photo of Hayden. I used Pebble's Inc. Downtown papers for this lo.

For today's blog hop I did this cute little picture frame using some of their winter rub-ons. It is a little sad for me, because I probably will not see snow like that again for a long while. Now that we are in Texas, there is a part of me that is going to miss playing in the snow. My hubby is thrilled because it means no more shoveling for him. Still it was fun during the time we lived in Massachusetts. Anyway, happy hopping!!

My Last Hoorah...

with A Million Memories as a design team member. These are from their cute October kit. They have added three new members and four of us are moving on. I am taking leave of kit clubs for a while. Whew, they are more time consuming than working for manufacturers. I think that is where I will keep my focus for now. Well, that, and I am Hayden's home room mom this year at his school. I will still be hanging around AMM though, because the girls just rock over there. Plus Michelle always has such great items in her store. I hope you take the time to come check it out and the forums as well. Here is the link http://www.amillionmemories.com
