This is one of my favorite events. It's a two part in the next town over. There is a walk thru a park with huge posters telling the story of Christmas. Then you arrive at a little church. This particular year, they had a candlelight singalong. Then you drive maybe a mile away to another church where they have maybe 200 nativities of different sizes and themes on display. Everyone walks around and checks them all out, while there is live music (choirs, piano, harp...) playing in the chapel. They often have a little scavenger hunt to keep the kiddos looking, but big kids can fill it out all in one shot, haha.
Anyway, it's a really nice evening, all about the true meaning of Christmas and I love it.
Last December, my daughter's dance class had a mini show at a little community event. It was held in the same building as a very small model train show we always visit at Christmas. It was a fun little morning as a family and I think the page turned out pretty fun too. Something about letting the DP do the work, ha.
Look! A post two business days in a row! Crazy! Both are scrappy, ha.
This was a chill night at a motel in South Dakota. Yep- we got personal sized pizzas from Pizza Hut, and then played some family games before bed. But it was a fun evening together.
This is a busy week, with no crafting time yet. But here's a sweet page I made in March. This cookie stamp has recently retired, but it was perfect for this page!
These photos showed up in my recent facebook memories and I realized I had to scrap them! haha....
Just about everything on the page is long retired, but that's what the stash is for!
Happy New Years Eve!!!
I am not a "party person" but I actually love New Year's Eve. We have let the kids have a party with friends a few times, and they have gone to friends houses once or twice, or even an event at the church, but most years, its just our little family playing games and eating and often ending with a movie. That is my kind of party, hahaha.... And we *always let our kiddos stay up til midnight, or as late as they last, no matter how old they are. Because I'm crazy... haha.
How do you celebrate?
Sometime this summer, I made this digital layout of our last New Years Eve. But I saved it to share til it was more seasonally appropriate. hahaha.
I saw the card at the bottom right on facebook as a free download, and I liked the colors and the grungyness, so of course I snagged that. Then it became the title!
The base pages here are actually a tag I purchased with the very-long-retired MDS and zoomed WAAAAY in to, ha. But I love how it turned out.
The handy thing about digi scrapping is you make it once and print it however many times you need it, which matters when you make a book for everyone. In this case, the family got the second page and my youngest got the set, because the first page was really just her! Everyone else was doing their own thing most of this day. Actually, my middle child was pretty sick, but she spent the evening curled up on the couch "with" us, ha.
