Pillow Boxes and Traditions

I didn't get to finish anymore pages in my December Daily, so I thought I would share my pillow boxes that I had made :)
I am really having fun with this pillow box punch board.
If you noticed I made a bit of an error on this one.
One flap goes out and the other flap on the other end goes in….I must have punched the finger notch on opposite ends…oh well, it still is pretty :)

I have even been making different sizes of these pillow boxes.
There will be a few of these boxes under the tree ;)

I worked today!!!
I know right?!  I'm suppose to be retired!!
But the company needed some paper work looked up and Wayne volunteered me…such a sweetie eh, teehee.
As it was my book work from last year, I knew exactly what I was looking for, so it took me less than 5 minutes to get the papers that they needed.
I was a bit sad to walk by my old photocopier, my fax machine, my file cabinet, and my boxes and boxes of paper work….but not sad enough to go back to work, lol.

I also got my Scrap for Heart crop tickets today :)
It isn't until February 1st but today was the last day to get the free gift.
And who doesn't like a free gift. It is an insulated lunch bag.

I was checking out one of my favourite artists on FB and found out I won some of her fabric :)
Sadly I won this back in October and I am sure it is too late to claim my prize :(
Don't I look all happy there, teehee.

For Heidi Swapp's photo a day challenge the prompt was
"Wish"
I had Kristy help me with this one.
I have no idea how to write on my photos and for some reason my phone wouldn't download the app.
Thank you Kristy :)

Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine's photo prompt.
"Traditions"
We have many traditions, like watching Christmas movies, baking, where we celebrate the days and that Wayne goes overboard on his gifts he gives.
But the one I choose is Christmas PJ's :)
After getting together with Wayne's side of the family and enjoying a wonderful feast and family, we come back home in the evening and the girls are allowed to open one gift…of my choice ;)
I always give them their Christmas PJ's :)
Aren't they adorable. :)

This evening was spent watching a couple of Christmas movies. Wayne's favourite is "Jingle all the Way" and one of mine (as I have many favourites) "A Christmas Story".
What is your favourite Christmas movie?

Hope you all had a wonderful and creative Monday :)

Creating and some photo prompts

It was another freezing day out today, but I was lucky enough not to have to go out in it :)
But because of the weather, Friday Night Scrapbooking was at a minimum, lol.
My die hard SIL/friend Sharon was the only one who braved the cold…and she doesn't even have a  car starter, lol.
I had so many things to work on tonight, but just didn't have the umph to do them.
So I pulled out that pillow box punch board and played.
I also played with the envelope punch board but didn't finish my project, so I will share that another day ;)
Again I used a cupcake wrapper for the accordion piece and a dimensional sticker of that bird for the centre.

Day 13 of Canadian Scrapbookers Magazine.
"Gifts"
I did some wrapping today :)

Day 13 of Heidi Swapp's photo a day challenge.
"Ugly Sweater"
Honestly I don't have any ugly sweaters…actually I am not a big sweater person.
Except for this one.
I LOVE this sweater.
My daughters call it my Ol' Lady Sweater.
I have no idea on how old it is…lets just say, I may have bought it before I had children, lol.
But why I put it with this photo prompt, is because there are holes where buttons used to be. I can't even sew a button back on, as there are big gapping holes where buttons once were.
There is paint on it. I wear this in my craft room as I create, as my craft room is in the basement in a corner room, and it gets chilly in there.
The cuffs are starting to unravel. I just keep rolling up the sleeves. See the long thread on the left, yup that is from the cuff unraveling, lol.
What I love about this sweater is that it is light, warm and has pockets to keep my cell phone and treasures I pick up in.
Plus it bugs my girls that I still wear it ;)

I hope you all had a warm and creative Friday :)
