Christmas Test Dummy

So I've been coming across lots and lots of Christmas decorations, craft, cooking and gift ideas and flaggin them as I've been trawling through the internet in my personal crusade to have a 'cheap as chips' Christmas. And as I was sitting there thinking ''I could try out a heap of these and share them with you guys''.

So here we go... consider me your Christmas test dummy.

I've done a few projects so far and while not all of them will be for you - hey maybe you'll get some sort of inspiration from something.

Most are from other sources so I'll link you to the original home of the idea and some are just things that come to me in the moment...

I'm gonna endeavor to post something 3 times a week in the lead up to Christmas: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays... and maybe the odd bonus weekend something :)

So stay tuned for tomorrow!!!

PS: I've made a fun Christmas playlist on the sidebar for you to enjoy too :)

Happy Sunday?

OK so in my defense I didn't say which sunday right? ;)

I have to tell you why I've been so busy...
well tell you that I'm gonna tell you closer to Christmas...

December 1st in fact...
hang on what day of the week is that....
a tuesday...
that should be ok....
no wait...
scratch that...

I will be telling you about this...

...on November 30th!

It's gonna be a full December!

Anyway back to the matter at hand...
Thanks SO much for the inpso (it's all a part of what I'm up to in that photo).

That's you Jane (AKA Tilly)!

Watch your mailbox... it'll be on it's way in the AM.

Remember to pop back soon or better yet add me to your alerts or bloglines or googlereader... and join me in some fun stuffs next week.

Mean while have a GREAT rest of the week! And think of my Mike this weekend, he is cycling round lake Taupo... 160km!

GIVEAWAY!

OK so this may look a little dejavu to some people...Last year with all the best intentions I made a December Daily journal... that I only filled in 2 pages of and then that was it.

So I though "I'll just replace those pages and use it this year" so I replaced the pages, fixed the dates and tweeked a couple of little things on it... but realllllly.... I just KNOW I'm NOT gonna do it.

As much as I'd LOVE to fill this is the fact is that I work full time and we have so much on in December that is just not photo worthy. I'd have a an album full of "Today I worked frin 8.30 til 9pm, 8.30 til 7pm, 8.30 til 6pm..." *yawn!*

Soooo I'm gonna give it away instead... to someone with interesting moments that they can fill it with :)

Post in the comments and link me to a fun holiday project (cause there's gotta be something in it for me) you've seen around or can find esp for me :) and I will draw a name on Sunday :)

Layouts....

A while back I was a lucky lucky girl and won a wee cookbook and some other goodies from this awesome lady...
She sent me a packet of butterflies she had punched and diecut from all sorts of paper... I quickly decided they were too rad to use on pages and did this instead...
Thanks so much Lolly <3....
And now some pages.......more soon... I've finished another mini travel album I've gotta take pics of and theres some more pages here needing last minute touches...
Oh and KITS!!!!!!
