Decorations, decorations

Hello there… how have you been?

How are your kids doing in school? Mine started yesterday and so far so good. Lucas would not tell much when he came home, I pretty much had to pull everything out of his nose and Niklas had a bad time. He cried all the way into bedtime – he was upset- he said he did not make aaaaannnnyyy new friends Iam sure he will be fine. In his Kindergarten class in the afternoon are only 12 kids, which is nice.

so today is one yucky day here in Michigan. The temperatures went down from Saturdays 36 Celcius to just 17 clecius.. it is raining and I had to run and get the boys some new clothes – rain coats since my car was last week in the repair shop. Anyhow.. where was I going with that? oh ja.. the pictures are a bit dark since there was really not much natural light for me to work with. Hope it works anyways to see the coloring. I do not like to do too much photo editing cause than the colors look washed out.

I have a hard time with these new paper pads out there. I did not find anything nice and cheerful this year for my cute LOVT’s to use. I must say iam really uninspired and worry a lot about the long time we make winter cards. bummer. In my stash I found some lovely pieces of a older line Stampin up has released. Love the bright orange and lime green colors in this paper. It was just enough to make 2 cards with it and finish the inside as well.

Stamps all by Lili of the Valley
Christmas bird table is from the second Christmas release 2011 and the sentiment can be found here also by LOVT – it’s a must have rubber set IMO

Punches – Martha Stewart can be found at Cute Stamps and Cards as well as all Copic markers.

lol.. speaking of decorations wanted to show you a brick wall of my house it is been like this since the beginning of summer – I wonder how long the chalk with stick to it
