December Daily 2017

December Daily Album from 2017


I wanted to share a passion of mine on my blog so you will all be able to see more of the celebrations we share during the month of December.  

Please enjoy the photos and memories I have captured in the album. 

The album is from Ali Edwards HSN collection.  A lot of the decorations in the album are from my scrapbook stash. 


Created the calendar page with my Cricut, using Cricut pens and fonts.  Each day lifts up and shows what we did that day.

I get all my photos printed from Shutterfly.  I also buy all my Christmas cards and special 6x8 cards made from Shutterfly.  I like their website the best.  Their quality of prints is phenomenal.  I partnered with Shutterfly for this album!  These Christmas cards are fabulous with our Walt Disney World photos on them.  

More Disney photos in the album, I just love making the 6x8 cards on Shutterfly.  I can add text and get the back printed as well. 

Bradford House tree donation from our company Southern Style on Fifth Avenue.

JFK Catholic School Cabaret


Walt Disney World photo cards from Shutterfly.  I used the Cricut to make the Mickey head and the journaling card.

Hallmark Countdown to Christmas movie guide and a bag from Starbucks!

My favorite Christmas drink is the Toasted White Chocolate Mocha!

Watching Hallmark Christmas movies all winter long!

A not so merry day when I ran into the rack at Kohls.  UGH!

Had to spend the day in Pittsburgh because I was diagnosed with kidney disease the night before.  But I did get to see this tree at PPG Place and the house with the big red bow.

Lunch with Mary Lou at Cracker Barrel and a great journaling card handmade by Lauren and Karina, they used the Cricut for the writing and and some AC foam dots to pop it up.

Jolees accents on the back.  My parents tree!  I hope they loved it from Heaven.  I miss them so much at this time of year.  We still decorate their house.

Snuggling watching Christmas movies in our jammies.
I got to meet the author who wrote the book about Kaufmann's at Barnes and Noble South Hills.

Believe in the magic of Macy's at Christmastime.

All the trees in Sugar Hill (our home) for Christmas in 2017.  JW with his Frosty Friends spiral tree in his room and Isabella with her Princess Dreams tree in her room, all the signature Sketchbook ornaments from Walt Disney World, she loves them!

Home Depot donated a tree and ornaments to a needy family in Washington.  Southern Style on Fifth Avenue facilitated the donation with Home Depot of Bethel Park, PA. 

Snow day!

My Mama's birthday complete with the poinsettias like she always liked.  We took the sleds to the cemetery.  Yes, even I went down the small hill a few times.

November 16-Happy Birthday To Me

November 16...Happy Birthday To Me!

Today is my birthday!  I totally love birthdays!  It is so exciting to plan a dinner out with my entire family of 9 and know that there is a yummy birthday cake waiting for me at home!  Actually, the birthday cake might be the reason I love birthdays!  My daughters are so generous and I always get fabulous birthday gifts!  Next to Christmas it is the absolute best day of the year!  

We have been having our birthday dinners at Longhorn Steakhouse in Washington, PA at The Old Mill for the past couple years.  We love to go there.  The food is good and usually it is quieter than most places, provided you get there before the evening rush.  They also have call ahead seating which is so convenient.  We had a great time tonight and they brought two large desserts for the table to share!  Everyone loved them, except Isabella who could not eat them due to allergies to all nuts and coconut and sesame seeds.  It was a fun evening, ending with opening my gifts at home.  There was a lovely gift bag at the door from my sweet friend, Susan.  Yummy croissants with orange marmalade and a Gooseberry Patch cookbook called Cozy Christmas Comforts.  I am so in love with the Christmas in Evergreen Hallmark movies and I adore my Christmas in Evergreen throw, pillow, beautiful tray, lovely note cards and two boxes of Christmas cards!  I got a huge box of my favorite Echo Park papers for scrapbooking too!  I can't wait to use them!  And the Vera Bradley purse was so pretty, along with ta-da...a Vera Tote in the new pattern of Beary Merry, WOW!  Was this Christmas or my birthday?  Thank you to all of my grandchildren, my daughters and husband and my friend Susan for my lovely gifts.  Y'all spoil me too much!
