bad blogger, bad blogger!

Yikes! I haven't blogged since Dec 16th....yep, I'm officially a bad blogger. I need to do a catch up post with some pics...let me load some of the hundreds of photos I took over holidays and beyond 7 I promise to have some updated posts soon :-)

Wordless Wednesday...making applesauce

weaving the day away

the colors are a bit wonky here, but this is my latest rug weaving project. I took a "refresher" course at one of my favorite places, Alewives in Damriscotta Mills. In between orders for custom holiday cards, working on handmade Christmas presents, and making our own Christmas cards I am weaving a row or two of this rug....very relaxing! Was thinking about making 1 or 2 for gifts but I'm out of time on that so I'll start them as gifts for birthdays and such.

Wordless Wednesday....my latest fabric project

for all you scrapbookers...this is Basic Grey's fabric line "Eva"

Thanksgiving

(ok, I'm a bad scrapper...didn't even bring my camera for Thanksgiving, so no photos. I made the apple pie above after being inspired by one on "Martha Stewart"...)

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving...here's a quick re-cap of my holiday weekend.....

*my sister in law, Cami arrived early from Oklahoma, and we all went to see "New Moon". LOVED IT!!! I know I'm the minority (at least in my family) but I am so Team Jacob...hello, did you not see him shirtless through the entire movie?! Of course, I haven't read "Breaking Dawn" yet (holding out b/c then once I read it it will be over for awhile..I know I'm weird), and I hear that I will not love Jacob any longer. Bummer.

*Thanksgiving was held at my mother in law's. I was responsible for appetizer (made yummy cheese ball from Stonewall Kitchen recipe) & mashed potatoes (of which I made a ton...we are now eating Shepherd's Pie with leftovers). A fun day of playing with kids, hanging out with family, tasty wine, and lots of food.

*went shopping with sis in law, Sunithi, on Black Friday. Wasn't totally crazy & we left at 8am. I was impressed with how organized the stores were with lines & check out. We scored some crazy good deals and were home by 11am.

hope you all had a great weekend too!

last group of Disney layouts

top layout from trip Patrick & I took in 2007....so empty then that we/I could go on any rides we wanted multiple times without waiting. I LOVED this one...Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom.

This really simple (but BRIGHT!) layout is from a trip I took with just my Mom back in 1994.

more Disney layouts

Animal Kingdom & Magic Kingdom layouts from our trip to Disney in Jan of 2007....dying for another trip soon as I am having Disney withdrawl ;-)
