It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

I love the Christmas season, but I do not let it "happen" at home until after Thanksgiving. This weekend we set up our tree, then moved the tree, put out all the holiday snowman decorations and put up the lights on the house.
There are a few more things to get out and then the card making begins. I need to figure out what type of cards I want to make this year and get a move on.
I am also going to do a version of a December Daily this year. I always say I'm going to do it and then remember about it the day after Christmas. Hopefully I can work on this tonight. I'm going to go with Teresa Collins Noel Album kit as a base and then add to it (we have them at the store).

Getting crafty with Punky

Crop Night last night turned out to be very productive. I started and COMPLETED a mini in 1 day!
I am very happy with my results.
I created a mini for my munchkin- With all the excitement for the Giants winning the World Series,
Madie asked me "how long have I been a Giants fan?"
I told her she was born a Giants fan and she gave me a crazy look
-a cross between what? and I knew that-
those of you that know Madie... you know exactly what look I am talking about.

Within the following days, I was informed with the "Mom, your slacking" tone...
There are not very many pictures of me at Giants games in my scrapbook Mom. You said I was a Giants fan.

Oh brother...
she totally called me out...
So here we go, just for Madie! To prove to my girl that she IS a GIANTS fan...
We've celebrated 3 of her 6 birthdays at the yard.

Items used:
Punky Sprouts Album, MME So Sophie papers, journal tag and alpha stickers, Hambly Overlays, Teresa Collins Celebrate chipboard, Webster Pages Glitter Buttons, Making Memories Tiny Alpha, Jenni Bowlin & Ranger Paint Dabbers, Alcohol Inks, Perfect Pearls Mist & Black Sakura glaze pen

We WIN!!

Oh yay baby!!

Years of ball games in the wind and fog and rain all all worth it to say
The San Francisco Giants are the WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

Orange October, but it's NOVEMBER??

That's OK! Because it could be the last day of the 2010 World Series!

For those of you that know me, you know that I am a HUGE Giants fan.
Since they have opened the park  in China Basin I have been to at least 15 games every year, and that's a conservative number. Rain or shine, club level seats, bleachers or top deck, if I can get tickets, I'm there.

I am also a HUGE fan of Halloween, but this year my orange and black came from my boys! I totally and completely missed out on decorating, going to the pumpkin patch, carving pumpkins and everything, well almost. We did go trick or treating last night, but it was during commercials and had the cell phone in hand giving us updates during the 3rd and 4th innings. The kids know and are just as excited as we are for the game. We've been wearing orange and black and our GIANTS gear All month. For me, I've been wearing my gear all October- since the Giants season was on the line playing the Padres. It has been amazing!

So I just have to post to say...
LET'S GO GIANTS *clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*
LET'S GO GIANTS *clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*
LET'S GO GIANTS *clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*

You can do it boys! Your fans have faith in you!
