New week.. New year...

Ah is it 2008 already (OK really tomorrow, but close enough).
One of my resolutions this year is to start back up on the Menu planning, I was doing so good for awhile then a few months ago just kind of stopped. Because of Christmas, going over to friends and having them over I didn't do much of my menu from last week so there will be alot of the same dishes.

Pepperjack chicken rolls, rice and creamed corn

Meatloaf, potatoe wedges, veggie

Pork chop stuffing casserole, green beans

Creamy crockpot chicken and rice, salad

Left over night

Thurs- PepperJack Chicken, Rice roni and creamed corn

Fri- Hamb. Helper and rolls

Sat- Creamy Crockpot chicken and rice, salad

Christmas Journal- Day 20 & 22

Journaling on this one reads-
Unexpected
On Dec.10 my dad was walking backwards at work and tripped over a piece of equip. He ended up breaking 2 bones, having surgery the next day and getting 20 screws and 2 plates put in. He has to stay off it as much as possible, potty breaks only. So during the work week I go over and make him some lunch and visit. I think he is bored, poor guy

This journal page is all done with ribbon, hard to tell, but it comes off the layout to hang off the page.

Cookie Monsters

Even Ryan and Zach got in on the action.Wyatt realized that if he had flour on his hands and clapped them it made a big flour cloud. He just thought it was so funny.Waiting so patiently.

Christmas journal- Days 13,14,16,17,19

Christmas with the boys

Christams Journal- Day12

Well Day 12 was supposed to be about christmas pasts, but i kind of touched on that with my memories one so instead I took a few other people's idea and did it on baking, love how this one turned out.

Day 4, 12 & 14

OK so I am really bouncing around, but am slowly getting caught up.

Christams Journal Day 10

Yea so I looked through my wrapping paper and realized it has been a long time since I have bought paper. I have one Winnie the pooh roll that I have said since my 13 yo was a baby. LOL
Time to recycle the old and bring in the new, I think.

Day 8

Advent Calendar

Here is an advent calendar that I made. Yes I know that I am missing a spot, but I want a cute small old fashioned ginger bread cookie cutter that I would love to find to fill the spot. I figure if it has to wait it can. I really want to find this thing.

Day 6 & 7

What more can I say

Wyatt here is showing Santa his Thomas the Train catalog. So cute.

CJ -Day 5

OK yes I have realized that I passed day 4, but I am still thinking about it. Here is day 5 about counting down to Christmas. Hope you all are enjoying your chrismas so far.

Christmas Journal- Day 2 & 3

So for day 2 we had to journal about the weather and Day 3 was about cards.
Day 2 has pictures from our first snow from Dec.1
Day 3 I used a manila envelope and covered it with paper, it will hold cards we get this year.

Christams journal- Day 1

How much do I love December??? I love this time of year, all the crafts to be made, all the together time with all your friends and family,all the Christmas songs and decorations.

This year I have joined Shimelle in journaling my Christmas. There are lots of us over at her site, hope to see you all there.

This is the first page of my journal.

'It is my commitment to continue on a daily a basis to create something, I declare it is my intention to journal this Christmas. Writing something down every day.I hope by taking a little time each day to reflect, write and create that I will keep my magical spirit of Christmas well and truly alive. I hope to meet others and to share my work and remember why I love Christmas so much. '

This is basically what the manifesto states in pg.1.

Here is another layout I did yesterday of Wyatt.
