A few Xmas pics........

......to share. Take a look at that cool sunset. It was red and purple....amazingly gorgeous! This picture is one of my favorites of the day.

The next pic is of my sister and her family. She has 4 daughters. No boys, just girls. Poor JR. He's the only man in the house with all those hormones!!!!!!!!! lol My sister looks great. She has been dieting since April and has lost over 60 lbs. Props to her. Now if I could only have her drive and motivation.........oooooooooooh, i'd be looking good!

Picture three is me and my two sisters and two cousins who are sisters. Our mothers are cousins and their mothers were sisters.
And our dads were brothers.

Are you totally confused now? ehehhehehe
Picture 4 is my nephew Austin. This little guy loved the paper more that the gifts. It was so fun to watch him go buck wild with the tissue paper and wrapping paper! His brand new baby sister was asleep the whole time. She is so sweet!

Picture 6 is a whole lotta gifts. This was the scene at my sisters house. Crazy!!!!!!!

I'm kind of bummed that alot of my pictures came out blurry. I could kick myself for not checking the photos as I was taking them. I usually do that, but my batteries were running low and I figured it would save the juice by not looking back at them. My cousin took alot of pics, so I'm hoping to get some from her. I know she took a really nice one of me and David.

And where is Jaden opening his gifts????he wanted no part in it.I have only a few pics of him.He got sick yesterday. Fever and upchucking.guess that's why.So it's on to 2007!!!!!!!!!! Wow. Time for making resolutions I can't keep.

lol

Oh Crap! It's Almost Christmas!!!

There are simply not enought hours in the day. I still need to do make two more gifts. I pulled a late nighter last night. The following pics are frames that I made for my nieces rooms, a wall hanging and frames for baby Chloe and a gift card holder for my co-worker. Some came out really blurry, so I'm not sharing those.

Please don't look at the hideous wrinkled beyond belief sheet that i used as a backdrop. My house is in shambles and the kitchen had the best light at 2 am............I really need to fold my laundry after it comes out of the dryer. HA!

I used a 12x12 frames with 5x7 openings from Michael's that I covered with Hambly Overlays and used "She" quotes from Kobi Yamada on the frames like "She turned her can'ts into cans and her dreams into plans," "She colored her world with only the brightest of hues," and "she is an artist and her life is her canvas."

The "Chloe" wall hanging was fun to make. I used Creative Imagination letters, K and Co papers and Making Memories embellies. I really enjoyed making the Gift card holder, also made by Creative Imaginations. The Basic Grey snowman paper is soooooooo cute, I have to go get more of it! I also did some hambly action on it with the snowflake overlay and Merry Christmas Rubon.

Since I was snapping pics at 2 am......why not share some photos of my Xmas tree and Decor?

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas in the Park

Just a few pics of us enjoying Christmas in the Park in San Jose. A park is transformed into a winter wonderland complete with decorated trees, carnival rides and fake snow......right plop in the middle of downtown San Ho.

Jaden and Demiree had the best time. They were all smiles and giggles.

Love that.

Only 4 days left till Christmas people!!!!! Good Lord. Remember those little gifts I had to make? Um Yeah. Still not completly done. I think I'm just going to go out and buy things. Forget making them.

My new years resolution.

Stop F'ng Procrastinating!

Peace out yo.

New Baby....New Projects...

Introducing Chloe Rebeeca Henry! She finally made her appearance on December 9th.......5 days after her due date! Look at her proud papa holding her.......so happy for them! She is doing really well and later today I'm going to snap a few Christmas pics of her and her big brother Austin!

Here are a few cards I made.....really loving the Hero card. It's my favorite of the bunch. The Happy Spring card looks really cool in real life, since it's base is a hambly screen print, it's hard to tell where the top is in the pic. I finally got to use up some pics i took in my aunts garden in my thanks card. Let's see if i have some pub luck with these babies!

Last night, I hunkered down and finished up a gift for baby Chloe, some cool altered frames for my teenage nieces and two layouts just for me! :) I worked non stop until the wee hours. Still have more stuff to do.

Hope you guys are doing great!

We're almost there people!

Xmas in 5 days!

woooooooooot!!

EDITED TO ADD: Card Pics Removed due to Publication!

Can I get a wooooooot, WOOOOOOT!?

Cp out!

So, So Busy.

So much going on.
Crazy busy.
So much still to do!

Still need to make about 7 Christmas gifts by friday.
holy ca-ca.

Asked Jaden what he wanted from Santa. His lists consists of the following:

Cheese.
Robot.
Power Ranger.
Marshmellows.
Dinosaur.
Chuckey Cheese.

Dude likes cheese, huh?
I say that list is pretty dang a done deal. (read that again, sounds funny.lol)

NEWSFLASH.......all you potty training mammas out there.......Jaden used the potty all day yesterday!

ALL DAY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys, I'm stoked. We've said goodbye to Huggies already, and hope to bid Pull-Ups buh-bye soon too! I am semi embarassed to say that he is 3!

My sis in law had her baby on the 9th.......baby Chole Rebecca! She favors her mamma, dark hair. Blondie haired Big Bro Austin and Chocolate Haired Chloe. So different, so cute!

David had his birthday on the 10th........he hit the big 31. We had Red Lobster for Lunch and Mexican for dinner.

My friend lost her little girl on the 11th. Such a sad day. So sorry for her great loss.

I havent' really been to eager to scrap lately. I guess that is why I've been putting off those gifts i NEED to make. I did make just a few cards for a call. but that's it.

Hoping for more productive couple of days. We are making Tamales on Friday or Saturday. I plan on taking pics. I've never taken pics of the whole tamale deal.

So not looking foward to all that work, but hecka looking forward to eating some!

Peace out.
Kiss your babies and Hubbies.

pictures later!

HEY HEY Hello!

Did any one ever see a movie mid 90's movie called "Party Girl" with Parker Posey? Well, if ya didn't ya won't get my title of this post. It's alright. Your forgiven. :)

So yeah. We totally froze our patooties off at the Christmas Parade last Thursday..........took many pictures but this is the only decent one. The other ones basically look like fireworks instead of lighted Xmas floats. I'm not a good at night-lots of light-kind of picture taker. Need to work on that. :)

*********************************

Got the urge to scrap at about 11 pm last night. Pulled out my stuff and made 2 layouts and a card. Really loving the new Zsiage papers mixed with the Hambly rubons and overlays. Rather than saving scraps, I've been making cards with the excess papers and making a mini version of the layout into a card. Working great so far! I'm going to send this one in to the Cards Wedding call.

Finally creeped in to bed at about 1 am.............then fell asleep an hour later. Got up bright and early for work and boy, am I hating life right about now.

Oh.....heroes is on tonight! Last eppi until next year! Sounds like a long time but just a few weeks. So they all meet up in NYC. It's gonna be good!

Today is my Sister in law's due date. Still no baby girl. She's been walking like crazy to get this baby to finally make her appearance. Hopefully soon our family will be blessed with a new little life. Looking forward to meeting little Miss Chloe Rebecca. ...............can't wait to hold her!

alright folks.

im outie.

Peace, CP :)
