A Simple Girl's Scraps O' Life: January 2008

So we got winter for one whole day. Don't get me wrong, it gets cold down here in the sunny south. Its been a strange winter. Two weeks before Christmas the weather was breaking heat records, and now we have icy-snow-rain day. And I know all you yankees think we are big wimps cause they close the schools or delay them for very little down here. But just remember this since we don't get as much as the northern states, we just don't have all the trucks and slag and stuff. its really not a great use of the tax money to have an army of salt/slag trucks that get used twice a year ya' know.

And, as of Jan 1, umm...its summer round here in the retail world. They had bikinis in the retail stores by the first of January, and good luck finding gloves or scarves if you didn't buy them before Christmas. I went to Target yesterday to get boots for the boys, my gut just told me we would get something today and the boys outgrew their boots and I hadn't replaced them, cause it had been such a warm winter. There were three pairs of boots left. So I bought a pair for each of the boys, don't think they will even fit properly, but at least they will stay dry.

Check out these pictures I took in the rainy snow:

Made a layout using the photos and a fabulous kit from retrodiva, blue christmas.

I'm working on a kit, we'll see what happens.

Let's see Christmas was fun around these parts. We had a nice Christmas dinner, with lots of friends and family and unbelievably not one picture was taken. My sister and her husband came up for Christmas. It was fun having all the family together. My sister got a major haircut, she hasn't had short hair in about 18 years. It looks great! The boys were completely spoiled. Its so hard not to be, they both have birthdays scattered during the holidays as well.

Here are some of the layouts I made for Christmas:

I tried so hard to participate in the 40 days of scrapping over at Divine Digital, but I only got one layout completed, before the holidays took over:
