More digital LOs for the Digital Template Shoppe

....I love these templates you can check them out here www.creativitybysrystal.typepad.com. Here are a few digital LOs I made using the Templates...



This photo of Mason was taken right in the middle of our move...Ben took this when I wasn't paying attention...I'm not sure why he thinks I won't find out if he has had my camera...there is always evidence left behind LOL
...these photos of the kids were taken last week...it was 21 degrees on top of Mt. Spokane, we drove up there to try and get our Christmas Card photo...it was SO COLD!
Here's Ben and his teacher.

These I made for my SIL...isn't Cooper just the cutest little thing you've ever seen?

Its beginning to look alot like Christmas!


Last night it snowed and we had at least 3 inches of snow on the ground this morning. The sun came out today but it wasn't warm enough to melt anything. We walked to school this afternoon to pick up the neighborhood kids...our neighbor pulled Mason on the sled thru the neighborhood...he thought it was the neatest thing ever! Once we got home everyone played in the pile of snow at the end of the Ct. - some very nice man plowed our court and left that nice big pile for the kids to play in...while the kids played I shoveled the snow off the driveway...we are expecting a bunch more snow before the week is through...I just stuffed our last envelope and our Christmas Cards are going out in the mail tomorrow. Let the holiday season begin :)
...and since we got all this snow - I got to open one of my Christmas gifts early...Stuart got me these awesome UGGs...they have to be the most comfy shoes I've ever worn...I was outside this afternoon for over an hour and my feet never got cold...I love 'em!

It's snowing!!!!

For the last couple of months I've been telling the kids we'd have a twinkie party when it snowed. Tonight we took Ben to Taekwondo and when we came out it was white everywhere! When we got home I made Twinkies...the kids thought they were the best ever!

Thanksgiving came and went...

...we stayed in Spokane and enjoyed a quiet day together. I cooked dinner myself and Stuart did most of the dishes...we had a sick kitty here and with the accident on the day before I thought we might lose him but he seems to be getting stronger...there's still something definitely not right but at least he's trying to eat again and isn't sleeping 24/7. Hang in there Morris...we love you!

...in the POURING DOWN RAIN...

...Stuart and I sat with other crazy people....thousands of crazy people to watch the last WSU home game. We only lasted through the 1st quarter and then we wandered thru campus until we found a dry (not so quiet) place. We parked ourselves at Valhalla for the next 3 hours or so...we saw lots of people we knew and had a ton of laughs.

...and finally the WEDDING...

Last weekend we drove to the Tri-Cities for Ian and Chris' Wedding. Here are a few of my favorite photos...I took nearly 600 photos last weekend! These first two photos are of Chris and the kids taken before the ceremony...or maybe it was after...it was such a crazy weekend! I can't even remember if I ate lol



Ben looked so handsome!


Here's Camryn and the cupcake she picked by herself. I made all 144 cupcakes for the wedding...I never got to try the chocolate ones just the strawberry and white and the white was so yummy!!!



Here is the wedding party and Ian in Chris down by the Columbia River before entering the reception. It was such a beautiful day for a wedding and NO WIND!!! Which is hardly heard of lol!




At the Reception we all had so much fun dancing...and then Ted and I slipped away and celebrated our Birthdays...I turned 33 on Thursday and he turned 25 on Saturday! Happy Birthday Ted!!!

...gosh I've been busy and there's still more on my to-do-list! Here's a few gift boxes I've recently made and a card. TFL




I made these two Holiday LOs for the Scrapbook Store back in the Tri-Cities...



This was a job I recently did...for someone's Wedding Reception...this was a BIG project, probably the biggest I've ever done. This was a 24x36 poster board for family and guests to sign at their wedding reception.


...this Goodbye is a little bitter sweet...








...this is my last month designing for SWEETWATER. I have been designing for them for the last 15 months and though I hate to say goodbye I know new and more exciting things are coming my way. Here are the projects I made for SWEETWATER...I still haven't decided if I'll keep these projects for myself or give them away as gifts this year.
