Hello Again by Simple Girl Scraps; Font: Scriptina

Today I bring you the worlds smallest Goofy. It's no secret I'm a huge Goofy fan, so over the years I've been given or collected many ornaments to adorn my tree in honor of my affection. I'm sure my mom gave me this particular ornament and he hangs proudly on my tree with all the other mega sized ones.

Day 4: Tiny

Yay, I'm early with today's photo. The theme was a perfect fit with our Angel tree topper. Loney and I purchased this angel 15 years ago to put on our very first Christmas tree together. The kids know the decorating of the tree isn't complete until the angel is placed on top. I hope she will be with us for at least 15 more Christmases.

Day 3: Silver

Today's prompt was slightly baffling for me as I don't tend to be drawn to Elves as decorations. Nothing against them, I'd just much rather have the Big Guy himself than his little helpers. Even though the movie has become one of my favorites, it just didn't feel right to photograph the cover. So as I was browsing around Michael's I came across this little cutie and decided he fit perfectly for my day 2 photo.

Day 2: Elf

I've found myself in a photo slump lately. My camera sits on the shelf collecting dust, so I decided to join in the Capture Your December photo challenge over at Scrap Orchard. I attempted this last year and made it over half of the month, so I know I can finish out the year on a high note. Feel free to join in.

Day 1: Red

This summer has gone by so fast!  As such though, my workouts slowed down which isn't good.  Luckily Team BeachBody introduced their BeachBody Challenge with an opportunity to win up to $100,000 just for committing and entering your results!



I have decided to restart ChaLEAN Extreme, and have just finished my first week.


I'm pushing myself more in lifting heavier, so I'm proud of myself for that.   I'm ready to break through this plateau that has plagued me for so long and get fit and healthy.

Are you ready to Commit, Decide, Succeed??

I know I've been terrible about blogging more then once a month.  I'm a slacker and I hope I'll get past whatever it is, and post more often.

Simple Girl Scraps has been busy creating kits for the iScrap Celebration over at ScrapDelicious.  They are celebrating their 1 year anniversary with a huge freebie hunt, and lots of goings on in the forum.

Be sure to check out Theresa's 31 days of Photography.  I'm hoping to be able to post my pictures for the challenge to help make up for the lack of posts so far this year.

I do have a freebie for you though.  Simple Girl Scraps aka Theresa created a mini kit for DigiScrap Drive-In called Just Be Happy.

It's a free with $5 purchase at DigiScrap Drive-in.  Here's the layout I created with the kit:

 I decided to make my layout into a Quick Page Freebie.

Ok, so there's a picture/scrap challenge over at Faith Sisters where you take 12 pictures of your day on the 12th of the month. I decided this was probably a whole lot easier for me to do then to take a picture a day for the entire year. Whoa, waaay too much for me. So here's the layout I created with my 12 pictures.



1. Waiting for the bus
2. The bus arrives
3. Checking on my Faith Sisters
4. Running errands
5. Meldoy draws on stuff
6. Melody dressing in my shirt
7. Watching DVDs
8. Mounds of laundry to tackle (someday)
9. Yummy new discovery
10. Kids play in the clothes basket
11. Jordan jumping off the couch (busted!)
12. Me ready for the kids to go to bed

What did you do??
