Holiday Aftermath Part Two

So the projects and crafts....there were a ton! I received pocket letters galore! I got a few from my sister for Thanksgiving and Christmas and I also received a couple holiday ons from my new friend Shauna. We decided to start again in January trying something a little different which I'll share next time.  They were all beautiful as usual. I also did a number of pocket letters for the both of them. I also was a part of PL swaps that were themed and of course couldn't resist signing up for a couple new ones for this coming year. I also made Halloween ATCs and special ornament spoons as gifts for friends and family. I had a lot of fun with that and hope to do more of them. The secret sister swaps I did were also a lot of fun. I did a little bit of art journaling in Mexico over Thanksgiving and used seashells and palm tree bark I had collected from the beach. I hope to do more of that as this new year begins and I hope to share it with everyone. Enjoy the pictures and Happy New Year!

Holiday Aftermath Part One

Wow! Two months since I blogged! I guess I'll just pick up where I left off. There have been a ton of celebrations. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years to be exact. I had a ton of fun during all the holidays spending them with family and food. I won't go back and relive them all but I will post pictures. Truman and I spent Thanksgiving in Mexico with his family. The beach and a sister in law that loves to cook equalled a VERY relaxed holiday. I got stung by a jellyfish but I didn't let that ruin my vacation. I got to see my cousin and his fiance over Christmas and then there was a very fun 1950's themed housewarming/New Years Eve party at my cousins new home. It really was a great holiday season. There was a lot of crafting over this time but I'll post that in the next post. Too many pictures for one post since I'm so behind!
