My favorite Christmas present...

...and it's not even scrapping related *gasp*....

Hubby bought me an Ipod Touch. Wow do I love this thing and all its free apps. I can download and read books for free, listen to my music, shop, email, have unlimited texting (I always get in trouble for going over the limit), check ebay, play poker and Scrabble with strangers and I can even check the cricut message board! All I need is a Wi-Fi connection. We even used it at the mall the day after Christmas to get info about other stores.

Of course I had to snaz up the hot pink skin with some vinyl cricut cuts and a silver stud!

I get to make stuff for ME now!

Now that the Christmas gifts have been made and distributed, I can finally get back to actually making scrapbook layouts! Here's my first one....it was based on a sketch.

This was Christmas 2008. Why take the girls to visit Santa at Bass Pro Shops you ask?? Well, for one it's Brian's favorite place on earth and two, it's FREE! The pic with Santa is printed off and handed to you as you walk away from Santa and his err...."live" reindeer, so when you have two terrified one-and-a-half year olds, it's the perfect price! (Brian says the reindeer in the picture are live...I say they used to be alive - it's a discussion we have every year).

Luckily for everyone involved, the visit with Santa went much better this year. I've got a pic of that too....just gotta get it scraped next!

The paper is all Stampin' Up, cardstock is Core'dinations (love it!). The tree I made from George on my Gypsy and then ran it through my Cuttlebug with the Divine Swirls folder. The Santa title was also designed on my Gypsy, with the script done in Opposites Attract.

Fa la la!

Yes, yes I know I'm a bit late, but I wanted to share this Christmas picture of the girls - they are now 2 1/2 (already!)

Isn't this pic cute? Looks so easy...just stand still girls, hold hands and look at the camera. Riiiggghhhttt....

And if you want to know what they asked Santa for, check out this funny video:
