Talking In Circles

It's Only ONE Week Away!

Gosh - this month is flying by just way too fast! I've still been keeping up with our Disney Advent tags... but haven't been very good at posting them.  Here are the last few days...

It's been a busy week.  Rylan had his first violin concert.  I can't believe how well he is doing for only starting the instrument three months ago!  Also this week, I went to a "Sweet & Savory" party at my friend Mary's house.  We all make an appetizer to share, then combine it with a cookie exchange.  We all scrapbook our recipes and in the end have an adorable recipe book.  I ran out of time to scrap my appetizer recipe... so here it is:

Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Ingredients:
1 can of artichokes, drained & chopped
1 jar (10 ounces) Alfredo sauce
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, cooked and drained
4 garlic cloves finely chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (I used more)
1/3 cup parmesan cheese

Directions:
Blend all ingredients together. Pour into oven safe dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips or crackers. (I added cheese on top before baking.)

So many things to do before Tuesday!  Why Tuesday you ask?  Well... I can't tell you yet - but wait until you see Tuesday's post!  :)

Busy Weekend!

Busy weekend!  Went to see Stars Wars in concert last night.  It was fabulous!  An orchestra played to snipets of the six movies.  It was narrated by the man who played C3PO.  It was really really good.  Today we have basketball - then church!  And in the midst of everything - I managed to finish two more designs so far this weekend for Wednesday's new kit release at the-whole-kit-n-kaboodle.com! :)  Goal is two more tonight after church!

Time's a Ticking... Only 16 Days!

I can't believe I'm actually keeping up with these tags! lol  I know we already used this Pooh diecut, but he was leftover from a kit I was workking on today and I couldn't "BEAR" to throw him away! :)

The creative juices were flowing again today.  I now have three new designs ready for next week's kit release at The-Whole-Kit-N-Kaboodle.  My goal is one new design a day through next Wednesday!  My Energizer Bunny batteries are in full force!  :)  *knock on wood*

17 More Days!

*Whew* Got this one designed by the skin of my teeth tonight!  It's 17 more days... for another hour :)  Caleb actually designed this one!  I think Daisy will be the closest thing to a Disney princess as we will get.

Huge night of homework tonight!  Caleb has two big presentations tomorrow.  Having a Cricut really comes in handy for these school projects!  {Speaking of Cricut... I've been designing away!  More new kit releases next week at The-Whole-K-N-Kaboodle.com!}

The Christmas Decorating Has Begun!

18 more days until my favorite holiday of the year! We put up two of our Christmas trees yesterday... the main family one, then one in memory of Grandma Hancock.  (We actually have three trees up if you include the Advent tree that we are making this year.)  Just one more tree to go - but probably won't get to it until this weekend.  Busy designing for the December kit release for The-Whole Kit-N-Kaboodle.com!  Be watching on-line next Tuesday!

19 Days to Go!

Time is ticking! Gosh, the days seem to fly by so quickly.  At what age does that seem to start?? lol  Finally getting around to putting up all the Christmas trees today.  Thinking of putting up one in memory of my Grandma Hancock.  Still miss her incredibly.  I have three tabletop Christmas trees that she gave me a few years ago, so I think I may take off all the ornaments and make one large tree for my office :) 

Okay... off to bake... my parents are over for lunch today!  Love love love this time of year!

Less Than 3 Weeks!

Here is today's Disney Christmas Advent tag... only 20 days to go!  Caleb's first basketball game and Christmas with the extended family today.

21 Days Until Christmas!

Here are tags 22 and 21 since I ran out of time to post yesterday :)  I'm having so much fun with these!  With only 3 weeks left it's time to get in gear and get the house decorated and the presents finished up. I'd love to decorate in all Disney this year!  lol  For some reason I'm in the Mickey mood! I saw this Mickey lamp post at JCPenney ... and I'd LOVE to get it!  But I think D might just die if I spent that kind of money on a season light! So I guess I'll stick with my little handmade Disney ornaments :)
