Snowshoeing Bliss

Well, the new year has come, and my internet has gone... so while I search for a new internet provider, here are a few photographs of our fabulous day spent snowshoeing...

Hoping everyone is doing well, and looking forward to showing everyone the cool stuff we have been creating...

Bring on 2012

The countdown begins...

Another year comes to a close.  A year full of lessons, friends, creativity, happiness and joy.  One more year older.  One more year of watching the Peanut grow into the wonderful little person she has become (though not so little anymore).

A year of more lessons (sometimes I am a slow learner), confusion, colour, striving for balance, connections, and learning from all of my mistakes and plotting my path towards the Kelly I was meant to be.

2011 was a good year, but bring on 2012 - I feel it is going to be even better!!

Wishing you all a very safe and Happy New Year.

Thank you for coming along this creative journey with me...

Merry Christmas Everyone

I truly hope everyone is surrounded by family and friends and enjoying the true spirit of the season.

The Peanut and I wish you all the very best this holiday season :)

Reindeer Handprint Ornaments

Ok, these turned out far better in person then the picture does it justice.  We painted the Peanut's hand brown, and she made handprints on the LARGE balls.  Then we turned them into reindeer - or should I say specifically Rudolphs.  They had red gem noses and pom pom tails.  On the back of the balls are her name and the year.

These are the finished ornaments that the Peanut has been working on, with gem ornaments on the trees, cotton baton beards on the Santas and googly eyes on the snowmen.  She pumped out dozens of these...

I love 'em!!!!

And here is a funky tree we made for Gramma & Grampa.  We put minilights in the holes and looks awesome all lit up.  Kinda wish we had made one for ourselves...

Here is wishing everyone a safe and Happy Christmas :)

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

A little late getting the tree this year, but the important thing is we have it :)  We have a family tradition where we go to Grandpa's farm and the Peanut picks a tree, and Grandpa cuts it down.  Very strange this year though, because we have no snow!!!!!!

Another one of our little traditions is decorating the tree with our Santa Hats on, while singing Christmas carols.  Gotta luv those little traditions that hold us tight and keep our memories strong!  

Our tree is filled with decorations from past and present, many of which were gifts, many of those are homemade, and of course all of the ones that are made with love from the Peanut :)  Speaking of which, I promise to post the reindeer hand ornaments that we made this year - they turned out really well!!

Merry Wednesday!! 

Wooden Christmas Ornaments

A few things we've been up to lately...

The Peanut has been a busy little elf doing up some wooden ornaments to her liking.  She plans on finishing the Santa ones with cotton baton and who knows what else for the creative touches to the other ones...

We are also doing up some really cute handprint reindeer ornaments.  Will do a post on those once they are finished (hoping to get them done tonight).

And I love the "Merry Christmas" Plaque the Peanut has made for our front entrance (we picked up the wooden sign at our local Dollar Store.  I especially love the eyelashes she felt Santa needed to have!!

Hope Everyone is safe and warm, and enjoying the Christmas Season.  Happy Thursday everyone!!!
