scrap the girls- December

http://scrap-the-girls.blogspot.com/

Hello Bloggers and welcome to the start of another Super 

Silly Season.  

I really wasn't getting into things much, well I guess it was only November! 

I'd made a start on my presents but it was all sounding like too much hard 

work and constantly rushing here and there.

But today, the 1st of December, after picking up the kiddos from School, my youngest asked

me if we could put up the tree? We always put up our tree the 1st couple of days in December anyway

but I just wasn't feeling festive.

But how can you refuse an enthusiatic 6 year old?

So I got the ladder out and pulled down the boxes in the garage

and the kids all helped decorate the tree, and for the most part they were 

really enthusiatic about it.  Even when I made them stand still for photos!!

 I stood back and

let the kids jam all their many kindergarten made ornaments on the tree, they laughed with each other

over their crafty efforts, they Danced to Christmas Carols and messed around with 

Santa hats and reindeer antlers.  

It was.....special.  

And all of a sudden Christmas is here and I don't care 

that it'll busy and hectic and lots of work.

I'm looking forward to cooking Christmas treats and going to 

sing carols and wrapping presents. It's all worth it to 

share these times with my children.

(I'll remember to think of this post again tomorrow morning

in the middle of that crazy breakfast, getting ready for school and out the door on time routine, when 

they are all driving me batty!!!!) haha

OK better get on with my Scrappy share!

Scrap the Girls Challenge this month is all about Babies.

December is after all the month we Celebrate the birth of Christ.

I decided to continue the December theme with my sample and scrap some

Christmas photo's of my baby girl.

I used Jilly-Bean Soup, Making Memories and Purple Pumpkin embellishments.

lots of distressing and misting added to my Christmas paper. I love the effect created when using 

the lid off a glimmermist bottle to make these circle stains.

And the enthusiastic 6 year old I mentioned above, well

these are some pictures of her first Christmas and helping to 

decorate the tree even back then.   :)

I hope you're inspired to get scrapping some baby photos' - Remember Girls only for Scrap the Girls 

Challenges.
