One week before Christmas

The week before Christmas and everyone is hurrying around, etc.  I only worked 3 days so that was really nice as I had time to play and get my hands dirty--mostly with alcohol ink.
Truman has a new spot to sit-hasn't harmed anything yet...


I made my sisters and Sandy a small Graphic 45 shadowbox...
This one above is Sandy's


This one is Phyllis'

And this one is Dee's--that is a picture of her in it....

I saw a tutorial on the Internet for glass ornaments with alcohol ink so I just had to try them--I did some square ones.....   These I gave along with shadow boxes




I saw a banner with old pictures in the gift shop at the hospital last year for $35 so I decided to make one using pictures I scanned from an old book on Frosty---I sewed all the pictures to Graphic 45 paper and strung together with twill from StampinUp.


My niece Stephanie made the GR Press for basketball this past week....


Friday night I went with Sandy and sister Dee and Phyllis to Reds on the River for our Christmas dinner.....



We then came back to my house to exchange gifts...




Saturday I woke up to snow--mostly on roads and decks....



Dixon had some good pictures taken....









Then I finished all the rest of my ornaments--the round ones I am giving to my co-workers..
I saw this first on The creativepointe Blog and went from there...











I was pretty happy how they turned out-now to just wrap them and some other gifts.
I bought mu Mom some new clothes as she hasn'[t had any for a while since I got her 2 new sweaters a couple of months ago--have to press them before I take them so she can wear them right away.
We have a family get together at The Omelet Shoppe on Christmas Eve for lunch so that should be fun.
