It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Ahoy maties! Hope ya'll had a pleasant weekend. Mine was delightful, thank you for asking! On Friday and Saturday I went to two art/craft stores and stocked up, spending a little more than I probably should have. But I was determined to be crafty this weekend! Of course, there were many distrations. Number one being Rob, of course. Then there were the duct cleaning guys. Oh yeah, and that nap I took on Sunday. Anyway, I was able to play around a little and make a few holiday cards. Here are some photos.

Here is Santa with a glittery beard and jiggly eyes:


And here's a glittery snowman, also with jiggly eyes. You should see how many different kinds of jiggly eyes I bought! This card also has snowflakes that I punched out and glued on there with a little clear bead in the center.


And this one is kinda plain, but I like it.


I also started making my own personal Christmas cards, but those will be kept a secret until Christmas! :-)

The moral of this post: Jiggly eyes are da bomb!

I want to read shopaholic and sister!! I'm just waiting until I can buy it cheap on half.com or something. I'm still waiting for "Can You Keep a Secret" to come out in softcover. So what happens??? Does she get pregnant??? Is there going to be a Shopaholic Has a Baby book????

By the way, have you seen that in a few weeks "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" is going to be on ABC?? I can't wait to see it! I hope it's done well.

yeah, mel! you guessed it. :D
i'm so freakin' excited! can you imagine?! becky pregnant. haha. anyway, target has the hardcover shopaholic and sister for 16 bucks, which is pretty reasonable. see, if i lived beside you, i would lend you books, and have quiet "relations", like a good neighbor should :) haha!!!!!

and OH! I AM SO EXCITED about the abc special! i read the book awhile back, and craig said, "don't get excited, the movie is never as good as the book." and i know that, but i was still kinda excited.... :D
