happy saturday, or what's left of it

Christmas will arrive tomorrow here when we go get our Christmas tree. I have already told Robert that the decorations are going to be low key this year. I just don't have the energy but I'm no killjoy either. I would love to get a smaller tree then we usually do but I can't do that to the boys. They are very excited. Things are moving right along here. I go back to the doctor's office in another week and then they will start seeing me weekly. :0

Harrison and I had a great time painting ornaments last week. We each chose something small, and we were out in no time. While we were uptown we stopped in a new toy store which is super neat. They have the coolest things, we even picked out something for Charlie while we were there. I am thinking about going back in to get one of these. After all, I do need to go back and pick up our finished/fired ornaments.

Has anyone ever seen this before? I love the idea of having a little elf on a shelf and I know the boys would get a kick out of it too.

I have been enjoying super stamper Tim Holtz's new blog. His techniques look very detailed, but he has instructions for each step. I think I can do them on a much smaller scale. Susie, remember we got to see him in action at Carson? His style is very unique, but I think there is something for everyone. You can see his blog here:Tim Holtz
