Weekend: Christmas Cards, Birthday Banner, & Minnie Mouse!

My weekend was taken over by projects!!

I love working on projects... but my house does not! It is a disaster...

My entire house looks like my kitchen table-

My brain has been going in 14 different directions 80 miles to nothing and NOT slowing down!

Here is a little preview of my Christmas cards this year:
Since you can already see them in the photo above

Of course they still need the photos glued on and the envelopes addressed, stamped, stuffed and mailed! A job for tomorrow (perhaps)...

I'm also in the middle of making Anna a cupcake birthday banner:

It still needs a ton of work in order for it to look like it does in my head, But, I think it will be super cute. At this point I'd LOVE to wake up with "scissor-hands" tomorrow... but, since we both know that won't happen.. maybe we could all hope for Anna to take good long naps!

Speaking of Anna-

I'm pretty sure she had the best weekend she's had in a LONG time! While I was lost in "project land", she and Casey were joined at the hip! And let me just tell you.. this child LOVES being with her Daddy!!

Don't you love her little boots?
Those were a "being born-birthday present" from Uncle Rob and Aunt Val. I can't believe she is already big enough to wear them.
And YES... she's SO CLOSE to walking!!


And Lastly- (but certainly not least)

Today Anna got to open an early birthday present from K&K. They picked it up for her at Disney World...

After church I let her open it all by herself:

She was so excited to see what it was:

AND, "Little Casey" very methodically thought of the best way to go about opening it...

....very carefully pulling out each piece of tissue paper and placing it on the floor...

... then she saw... "oohhhhhhh"...

She had a little trouble getting it out of the bag... but she couldn't wait to sit down and check her out... "My First Minnie":

And let me just tell y'all. Minnie was immediately promoted to "naptime buddy"... which from where I'm sitting isn't an easy title to have.. (I'm not even a "naptime buddy"... seriously, she wouldn't sleep with me even when she was sick!)

K&K.. She truly LOVES her Minnie. That was so nice of you! I couldn't believe how easily she went down for a nap today... I love Minnie too =) Thank you!
I seriously- thank you so much for thinking of her. Y'all are too sweet!!

Okay.. well, I've got my days full for this week but hopefully I'll be able to sneak in a post or two. Y'all have a good one and I'll be back soon!

    BTW, You are so crafty! I wish I had an ounce of your craftiness (is that a word?). Anyway, I love all your neat little projects! Can't wait to see how they all turn out!

  2. Wow! You are crazy crafty!!! You need to get together with my sis-in-law. She is always into the cutest crafts. She did a craft show in Brandon last weekend. Cutting is the only thing I ever failed in school. Seriously. We had to cut out an octopus and glue it together. I'm about to panic just thinking about it! The Little and her Minnie are too cute!
