Handmade gifts

 

My girlfriend suz - Alive in Wonderful is taking the "handmade pledge" and buying handmade items for christmas gifts - 

I am taking the same pledge. 

I've already started on my Christmas cards, next I will work on my gift tags then I will start shopping for my gifts from etsy.

I'm really going to try to buy only handmade things - wish me luck

May your holidays be filled with the sounds of laughter and a heart filled with the gift of giving.

Happy Holidays.

You're going to see a lot of pics of this player throughout the years.

I like this.

It's amazing how many cares disappear when one decides not to be something, 

but to be someone.

looks like #13 Tucker (Marcy's boy)  is saying to Alrik #50 "what the heck?"

my son (#50) is a tad bit taller than most, he drinks a lot of milk.

Inspiration

Here are some of things I look at for inspiration - 

Elsie has such a whimsical fun colorful free style.

even decor type books can inspire me. Rachel has such an easy soft palette. 

my friend is funny

My friend Suz is a riot 

whenever i'm laughing at my computer hubby looks up at me and says "Suzanne's blog?"

"yep" i say - she makes me laugh!!

and laughing is my favorite thing
