Winter wonderland!

Its been snowing outside.
Dumped a lot and then melted!
Then it goes from freezing cold, to just chilly! What strange weather this year.
But that doesn't stop me from having the wintery Christmas-y feel!
Here are the first set of layouts that I did using the Studio Calico December kit.

This first one is the one's of us in front of the tree! We have such a good time
together. We laughed a lot this day, and had so much fun!



This one is my favorite! During the holiday's I love to pull out Christmas music!
We have several different artist singing Christmas songs, but my all time
favorite is Bing Crosby.

He is Christmas to me when I think of music!! When I was a little
girl, my mom played a lot of Bing as well because she loved him too. So I grew up listening
to Bing sing Christmas songs and have always felt warm in my heart when I hear him sing
them! I wanted to document my love for his music during the holiday's!


Grateful list this week in honor of the holidays:

1. Not working on Saturday.
2. Finally finding a smell I really like! It's from Chanel!
3. Wrapping presents because the excitement is wonderful!
4. Reese cheesecakes. Enough said.

Your layouts are great! Love the Bing Crosby one and the snowman in the first one is so cute. The kit is amazing. I will have to find those papers and embellishments somewhere!
Hope you have a blessed week and I just want to tell you again how grateful I am to know you have been lifting us before the Father. I can feel it. So thank you my friend.
