I’ve been gone….but now I’m back

January 16, 2013 Posted inMy life

Slowly,

Ever so slowly, I am getting back into the swing of things.

I guess I have been in denial that Christmas is actually over and things are suppose to be back in full force.  We had a lovely Christmas.  Our Tradition is to go to Grandma’s house on Christmas Eva for a real Party.  We had a fabulous dinner.We had a class act Nativity.Grandma played Santa this year and we had our fun Cousin gift exchange.  We then went back home to find the elves had left us fun Christmas Jammies.  It was so exciting it caused Parker to dance.  Our stockings were hung from the chimney with care, so we went to sleep.  Christmas Day was wonderful.  It was filled with playing with toys, eating Monkey Bread and just being together…..while wearing pajamas.

Someone got Just Dance 4 so that meant there was a whole lot of dancing going on.And then we were off to visit family in Washington.  It was so cold for us Californians.  But so fun to see cousins we haven’t seen in awhile. Uncle Dale always has the coolest pets for us to play with.  Too bad it was so cold outside or else I would have insisted on a real photo shoot.  2012 was wonderful.  I am sad to see it go.  But I am looking forward to a fabulous 2013.

Memory Game Printed by Pinhole Press

November 9, 2012 Posted inUncategorized

There are oodles of fun products out there to print up all of those fun images sitting on your computer.

My latest goal is to use those images I love so much and get them printed, so they are present in our everyday lives.

My latest little project was to make a memory game. I saw these cute memory games on Pinhole Presses site and knew I wanted  to make one.

I decided to make a memory game using our Summer Memories from our trip.  I love how it turned out. It was super easy to do.  It only took about twenty minutes start to finish.We played last night.  It was a huge hit.  It was fun looking at pictures of our trip through Europe and talking about all the fun places we had visited.  I love that this little game can keep those memories fresh in their minds.

Oh, look, Piper got a match of Piper dancing around at Versailles.

My next project will be the alphabet flash cards.  Piper and I have already made a list of what pictures we want to match with the appropriate letters.

What a perfect thing for a little girl who is learning to read.

FYI, if you like the Facebook page of Pinhole Press, you will receive a code for 10% off future purchases.
