A very productive day!

I do feel much better today. I had a chance to pop out to Target last night (by myself, which was nice)and buy all the ingredients for my holiday baking tomorrow. The line at Starbucks was way too long but it was OK, I didn't need it anyway! Well, I got everything on my list and a little something for Ari since he's been SUCH a good boy lately. I know Christmas and his birthday are super close but I couldn't resist. I came home, Matt left for work and I got a chance to scrap uninterrupted! I did one layout, for the Tinkering Ink challenge over at Crop Addict. I used photos of Ella playing in the leaves last week (or two weeks ago...) since they matched the paper perfectly. What do you think??



If you want to check out the challenge you have until the end of this month to enter! Plenty of time... go for it!

Anyway, I was up pretty late but I had a good time listening to my music and drinking hot cocoa until the wee hours. Ari bean slept until 9:30 this morning so I feel very rested and refreshed! We were busy bees around here today finishing all the laundry and cleaning *most* of the house! The kitchen and Family Room are pretty spotless, I only have to tackle the Living Room (which is pretty covered in dust) and our bedrooms before our guests arrive on Wednesday!

Tomorrow we are headed over to Michelle's to do some holiday baking. I'm making Chocolate Chip (for Santa) and Ari's birthday cookies which are going to be sugar cookies cut into "1" and iced with blue frosting! I can't wait to see how they turn out. If they end up being as cute as I've pictured in my head I'll post a pic here tomorrow night. I hope you all have your Christmas shopping done and not too much wrapping left... there's only one day left you know! ;) Have a great night...
