Okay first off, I’m still looking for that paper (locally, I have one quarter of a sheet coming from far away, thanks Isabel!). I went to a couple of scrapbooking shops yesterday and got a back up sheet that is close. I don’t think anyone will flog me for having such a small difference, but …

Christmas Crafting – the rents
I actually finished most of my Christmas gifts before Christmas, shock of all shocks. I’m going to show you the good stuff first, the parent’s gifts. Being married means joint presents! Yeah! So that basically means that Bj pays for supplies and I get to crafting. First up those quilts I gave you a taste …
The Pence Family
Last night was a little get together for my dad’s side of the family at my aunt and uncles, low key, dinner and games. The thing is we get serious with our games: I love that picture. Here we’re playing electronic catchphrase (boys versus girls). So the guys try to get the other guys to …

You should scrapbook
Bj and I went to visit his mother and step-father this weekend… almost five hours away, lots of time to chat in the car. And knit. And chat. Bj: "I’m burned out on knitting" me: "how can you be burned out on knitting, you don’t knit." B: "But it’s all over, you knit in my …
