Khloe and I had our first real mommy/daughter shopping trip yesterday and surprisingly it went great! Even through the long car ride there really were no tears, no screaming fits, no temper tantrums, etc.

The only thing that comes to mind was being in Target and she was sitting in the cart trying to get her coat off and she has recently decided that she needs to do EVERYTHING herself. There can be no help from us. So I tried to help take her coat off and she SCREAMED...."NO...DO IT"....which translates to "No, let me do it and if you try and help me I'm going to let everyone in this store know what is going on." So I pulled back and kept my head down and tried to imagine that not one of the 50 people that were standing around me heard my daughter. Don't worry I have a really good imagination! Thank goodness that is the only thing that resulted in any kind of screaming yesterday and as soon I as turned away from her she calmed down and got her own coat off. PHEW!

We hit Archivers first....of course. For those of you who have never been in there...which I was probably the only scrapbooker alive who had not....get there FAST!!! I don't think I had ever set foot in one until about 6 months or a year ago. I know...can you believe it? So we started there and if there was ever a doubt in my mind that Khloe was not my daughter (even though the delivery process is still firmly implanted in my mind) all of my wondering has stopped. She LOVES that store. Which is maybe a little dangerous...but we have a few years yet I figure.

We picked up some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist...which I have never used and am extremely excited to try. I was going to pick up some of their masks, but decided I would just try to make my own on my cricut. I also picked up some of these Piggy Tales "pig tails." I've never used these before either and thought they might be something fun to try. Make some sort of three dimensional page or something. Interesting aren't they? They might require a bit more thought before I use them.

I am going to start work on my challenge page tonight...I work better under pressure. It should be a fun weekend!

Short on supplies....

Ok first and foremost....here is some more goodies that will be included in the 2010 book that we will be doing for the January crop. I have lots of plans for this book and it includes tons of cool stuff.

I have been working hard on my December Daily book, although most of my stuff for this book is still on the UPS truck that was supposed to arrive at my house on Friday. Yep, you calculated right...if I get the supplies Monday this only gives me one day to complete my book before December 1st. Wonderful!

The good news is this forced me to scrounge around and use some of my stuff that has been laying around so that I could get started...and I must say it has been turning out pretty good, I think. So at this point I am not quite half done and am at a stopping point. It looks like I will have lots of work ahead of me on Monday. Let's just hope the truck gets here early tomorrow!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! We got our tree cut down and put it up last night. I LOVE LOVE LOVE a fresh cut tree. Our livingroom is looking so festive now! It has definitely put me in the mood for Christmas. I just can't believe how fast the time is going. I want December to just slooooooow down so we can enjoy it!

Elle's Studio

I have officially started putting together the projects for the Snowflake Scrap in January!

YAY!

I will post the projects that will be available at the scrapbooking event the first week of December. In the meantime, I decided to start showcasing some of the products we will be using in the projects.

The first ones are these CUTE calendar tags from Elle's Studio. I have had my eye on them for quite awhile and I think I found the perfect project to use them on! Elle has tons of cute things in her shop so be sure and check it out!

Anyone looking for a Cricut.....

Ok so I have lots of exciting news! If there are some of you out there who don't have a Cricut, there is a HUGE sale going on over at Craft-e-Corner!

If you DO have a Cricut, be sure and still check out the sale. There is the new Gypsy on sale, the Jukebox is on sale, cartridges on sale....everything is on sale!!!!

I am looking at getting the Cricut Expression with + the Design Studio Software. I think by far this is the best deal! You get the Cricut + 2 cartridges + the Design Studio Software for only $269.84! It normally retails for $529.98!

THEN....if you go to the bottom of the screen there is a little place that says "Click here to join our email list and get 10% off." I tried it out and the email that you get with the 10% off says it is good on all sale, clearance, and regular price merchandise.

WHOO HOO!!! That makes the Cricut machine just that much cheaper!

So head over and pick yourself up a machine or some accessories...or better yet.......let Santa know that is what you want for Christmas! :)

Oh and to sweeten the deal a bit....FREE SHIPPING!!!
