Okay, okay... Im finally posting.

I've been a bad blogger lately. I really haven't had much time to post or even read blogs. We have been really busy over here! This is my favorite time of year! That means lots of projects and baking (oh and gaining weight...). We hit up black friday at Walmart and got coats for $8. (for next year) Hmmm... and here are a few other things...

This is what happens when you bake with kids

I re-did my proclamation on the family and hung it up. I'm not so sure it looks complete... so I may be re-doing it. There is ribbon threaded through the top of the wood, but you cant really see it...

I finally finished my advent calendar! Sewing on burlap is NOT easy! But I love how vintage it looks. :)

I finally took a picture of the SL Temple that I like. (after about 5 million) I processed it with my new actions and its finally ready for printing... 16x20 with a black chunky antiqued frame...

Aly got bangs last night!! (she had been chewing on her hair... sick, gross habit. She had actually chewed off hair. {{ gagging }} I cant get over how different bangs make her look! She looks just like a doll. :)

  4. Love all of this. On the proclamation, could you use a lighter thread? Maybe that would show it a bit more? IDK, just a thought. I think it looks fabulous though!
