Santa Clause 3

I just LOVE this movie..my kids and I just got done watching it! Now I think im going to make some hot chocolate and pull out my christmas recipe binder and think of ideas of what im going to do to it.

I started copying my christmas recipes onto my cute new Gooseberry Patch recipe cards that came with my kit. They look SO cute now!

I also started to plan my Christmas in July party. Its going to be a Dough swap....that way, no one is baking in the 100' weather and also, this way, we can have cookies anytime we want! Now, I just need to figure out what kind of cookie Ill make. I make my annual Andie candie cookie (everyones fav) at my December cookie/ornament swap, so I want to find something just as wonderful, but different for my July swap!

Happy May Rudolph Day!

Well,I was so excited to have my Rudy day today....but...other things got in the way...like playing on Pogo.com ALL DAY with my mom!!! I admit it..we are addicted!! I just had a Rudy day a few weeks ago so im not too terribly upset.

I hope everyone had a great day and got what they were supposed to do done ....Im going to have Rudy day tomorrow!

a Surprise Rudy day!

So today, I had a surprise rudy day!! I had the christmas bug in me! I started going through my notebook...again and cleaning it out! I found so many little things that didnt work for me last year, so this year im making it strictly for me. I normally print off everything in the countdown and only end up doing 3/4 of it because certain things dont pertain to me. Im sick of wasting paper!!! So hopefully this will be the most organized christmas ever!
