Scrapbook layout goal

I have never kept up with how many pages I have scrapbooked in a year, but for 2008 I decided to set a goal and keep up with it. I set my goal for 250 and was surprised when I surpassed that number so I kind of reset my goal to 350. Well here it is December 30th and I've done 336 pages... I'm frantically trying to finish up and make this goal but I wanted to post some artwork for you.... I'm also going to post some on my website (http://www.chantelle.myctmh.com/) on the Art board and some in the Community Section. So log on and check them out!
Yes, I am VERY far behind... I'm scrapbooking photos from Spring 2007! <<<>>>>

Christmas Day Fun

Sorry this one is sideways! I wasn't thinking about not being able to turn it!

Jingle Bells!

How sweet! and oh so cute!

Christmas Morning!

Wow! Santa is always so good to us! Yikes! Clone Troopers!

Zeke got an Octopus Play-Doh set! We played for a LONG time this morning!

Santa got Zeke new underwear - I think that means NO MORE DIAPERS!

Eli got a new camera! Wow!

Christmas at BeeBee's

Meemaw made the boys these cute cowboy outfits and got them new play guns. BeeBee helped finish them out with boots and hats! I can't wait to scrapbook these pics!

Zeke also got an Auburn Football costume with real helmet, pads and football from BeeBee! Too cute!

Christmas at Poppa and Granna's

The big gift the kids got was Nintendo DS for the older 3 (Noah, Jake and Eli) and Leapsters for the younger 2 (Cooper and Zeke). Here is a cute pic of all of them playing their new games!

During our visit, Zeke and Cooper played together so well! They were so sweet to each other!

New Altered Items

Here are a couple of Close To My Heart items that I have altered. I will doing a workshop with these items at Springville Road Community church on January 23rd. If you are interested in making these items, please contact me!

The first one is our My Creations Memory Keeper decorated using papers and My Stickease from the Notebook selection! This is a 10 x 9 x 3 inch box with a Magnetic closure. What a great place to keep special momentos!

This second item is our My Creations Artboard which I have decorated with papers from our new Emporium papers! This clipboard is made of sturdy white MDF and is 14.5 x 12.5 to display multiple small items or items as large as a 12x12 scrapbook page!

Christmas Craziness

No pics tonight just a few thoughts..... Christmas always seems to get so crazy. If you have ever read Moostletoe that is kind of how I feel right now. That poor moose was so caught up in his to-do list and making sure that everything was so perfectly perfect and checked off his list that he forgot one big thing - the Christmas tree. Well, I haven't forgotten our tree, but in the midst of all the parties for the kids, presents to be bought, candy to be made (and eaten, hee,hee!), crafts for my preschool class, cards to be mailed, etc., etc., etc...... I feel tired and don't have much time left to simply sit and rejoice at God's gift to us - JESUS. Wow! Without Jesus, where would I be? I don't even want to think of it. His love is so perfect and so unconditional .... I can never deserve that or earn that but I have it anyway.... So take a few minutes out of your crazy day to think about the reason for the season - JESUS!

Zoolight Safari

BeeBee, Granddaddy and Lilly came to visit so we could go to Zoolight Safari! It was lots of fun!

Santa!

Getting our Christmas Tree

We went back to get our Christmas tree and Noah and Eli went right to it! Found it among all those trees! It really amazed me.

This is a scary picture! I turned around to see Zeke carrying the saw to cut the tree down with and look at that big smile on his face! You know Daddy is the one who allowed that to happen!

Fall Leaves

The boys had lots of fun playing in the leaves at BeeBee and Granddaddy's house over Thanksgiving!
