What did you get under the tree? I was thinking that I really need to do something about my organizating issues for the New year. I'm growing out of house and home with my scrap supplies....maybe I should quit my job and open my house as a scrapbooking store? What do you think? Lol

Here's my creation for this week's challenge. It's a Tussy Mussie and you can find it on the above CD'S. There are so many other adorable templates, images and paper :-) .

Hi all!! A happy Sunday to you! Christmas is in full swing and I love this time of year! The decorations, the giving, the lights...every year Redding has Christmas light contests and it's so fun to drive around and see what everyone does! If I can I'll share some pictures of some fun decorated houses!
