The Reason For My Absence....

I know,I know...I haven't posted anything significant in over 2 weeks. It's not that I have been slacking, I have found, not a new love, but an equally exciting way to spend my time. First I was creating new templates, but I quickly ran out of paper. So I found something else to keep my creativity going....digital scrapbooking. IT 'S SO GREAT!! I have always wanted to scrapbook...I bought a bunch of stuff a couple of years ago, but it just got too expensive. There is so much free stuff on the internet to do it digitally and it's so much fun, I wish I would have found it sooner. If anyone else is interested in doing this, let me know, I can hook you up! Check out the blog headers and layouts I have done so far...

My Blogger Templates

Hey!!! So I was pretty bored the other day and I decided to start messing around with my blog template. I found it to be quite fun and it really got my creative juices flowing. I made like 10 in a row and now I just can't stop!! I would love to share them, but the paper I am using is free and there is a bunch of mumbo jumbo saying that I can only use them for personal use, blah, blah, blah... But if you would like I could tell you where to get the paper and how to edit your HTML. Its really quite easy once you get the hang of it. Hopefully soon I will be able to find some cute paper that I can share. Anyway....check them out and let me know what ya think:) They are located on the side bar under Templates I've Made.

Mesa Temple Christmas Lights

Last night Tom, Braden, Sam and I headed off to the Mesa Temple to see the Christmas lights and watch the Mesa Christian Dance Company Perform. We were surrounded by thousands of lights and beautiful music right in the middle of Temple Square. The Christmas spirit was so strong and really makes you remember the true meaning of this Holiday Season. We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Deck the Halls

Here is the Christmas decor I have accumulated over the last two years. All the twinkling lights, ornaments, yummy candles, and nativity scenes make Christmas my favorite time of year. I am still working on my collection, its not much, but I am getting there! Merry Christmas!
