Good mornin'!!

Good mornin', good mornin'! It's great to stay out late, good mornin', good mornin' to you!!! Okay, I'm not exactly Debbie Reynolds when I sing, but you get the idea!! Singin' in the Rain is my all time favourite musical and I sing that song a lot, it's so cute!

Last night Emileigh and I went out for a girls night. Once every couple of months, I go out to dinner and the movies with a bunch of girls and last night Emileigh came with us for the first time and we had a lot of fun! I mean, she is almost 15 for pete's sake! So went and saw Catch and Release with Jennifer Garner and it was a real chick flick!! We always go see a romantic comedy that we KNOW the men will never see with us! And it was a real sappy, yet FUNNY comedy. (Also we made another run to Michael's...ya know....since we were in London and all!)

OH!! Some of you had asked that I get Feedblitz so that you can subscribe to my blog!! Well, it took me a big to figure out exactly how to do that....but with the help of my good friend Cindy Lou, I got it added last night! So now you can subscribe, so that whenever I put up a new posting, it will automatically notify you in your email!!! How cool is that?? That way you will never miss a new project, tutorial or just my silly blurbs!!

Today I thought I would show you a project that I made for my parents for Christmas. I purchased a chipboard accordian from my local scrapbook store, covered it with Melissa Frances patterned paper which I sanded around the edges and added some charms, some metal words like 'joy' and some vintage stickers. The pictures I am really happy with. I was fiddling around with my new digital camera that I got from my honey for Christmas (actually before Christmas, heehee) and I like the pictures taken with natural light the best. So one day Emileigh was sittin' on the couch, doin' the teenage thing and I grabbed the camera and started shooting her with just the light coming in from the window. I made her laugh and make serious faces and I got a bunch of different shots. I picked out my faves, cropped them down to 3x3 squares and adhered them to the accordian at jaunty angles!! And voila! Now it's a lovely decoration that Mom has displayed on a shelf! Something like this makes a great gift! Now I need to make one for myself!!

Happy Kraftin'!
