Farewell to Pack 559

----Update on Scouts-----

Well, it is with a little sadness that Conrad has decided to not go continue with Scouting. 
His Scouting was so much fun and he has learned a lot!  His Den Leader was great and meetings with his guidance will be missed!

----Update on Karate-----
With this sadness comes an open door for more Karate.  This Saturday is the Hayashi-Ha Cup in Lynnwood at the Edmonds Community College Gymnasium.  So instead of Monday Scouts, Conrad was brushing up on his Kata routine for competition.

This is a great start at his competition for the Championship Tournament that is in May!

Go Conrad Go!

Cookies for Scout Cookie Exchange

I just love this vintage Hallmark Cookie Cutter.
 I know this cutter is a Valentine one, I use it for everything. I don't recall where I ever got it, or when. I just have always had it. I try using something different, though I don't seem to.


 





I just love these guys!!

December Daily Album 2012

And the excitement of it all:


The cookies were actually good.

I have not had my phone very long. So I have not really played with taking videos. I couldn't locate the flip fast enough, so I took a clip of mom reading Twas the Night Before Christmas. Of course it was sideways when I viewed it... Whooops.

I did get a few pictures so I was thrilled to add this one to my album.


 
Time to see who's naughty or nice.  
The shelf elf's will report back to Santa tonight.

The bottom of this picture is all the presents wrapped up!

Love the shelf elves.
(Thanks Charlene and Ro!)




We went to the Crystal Creek Cafe today for a late lunch - early dinner.
It was quiet and nice.
The prime rib dip and fries hit the spot.
I enjoyed a piece of strawberry rhubarb pie ala mode.




Conrad celebrated his "official" one year birthday from the date we adopted him on Friday.
He loved it.
All the attention, the cake, blowing out the candle, and just having a special time with all of us around.

Today I wanted out of the box. The journaling box that is.
so I pinted the same size as the photos and journaled within.

The pie page is adhered to a few inches of transparency large dot paper.

Day 20 of the December Dailys.


If you are looking here, you too are intrigued by the every day magic that leads to Christmas. I love to look at other December Daily posts just for a peek at every day magical moments and just sigh a big sigh knowing that others are enjoying this season as well.
So I am thankful.



I have a few typos, and you know..I let them slide.
I like that sometimes.


I hope that you are enjoying this season.

Tonight after Karate, the long way home Bellevue Way to Kirkland, the stop at the house with the large wreath on the roof!.. Well you can't see it in this photo..

Sparkly bling -a-bling!


Card making at least 2 a week.
Karin's Cookies arrived, wow, these will disappear fast! ...Oh Scott took them and hid them from me!

Red Glitter!
 
Sweet boy.  Homework first.  That's the ticket!

 
 
 
 
Cookie Exchange for Scouts:
 

 
Dinner at the Olive Garden with my sweet boys.
Scott says when his family sees this, they will think he looks like a poor homeless man.. Well, he does need a trim
 - all over.  But to me, he looks just terrific.
It is a great night!


Some journaling. 
 
 
 
I love this photo of my little helper.
 


Growing up right before our eyes.



A wonderful surprise visit from a little Angel.


 
 
Sometimes something small is a miracle.

December Daily is documenting the days to Christmas.
Here is what I have so far, I have added one journal page so you can see that on the left hand side (or back sides) of the pages, they are fully journaled, though I haven't added them all here. (yay on getting them mostly done...though not all are completed..
Absolutely love the felt fluffy stars with silver

Camp Brinkley Snapshots

Here are close ups of the pages and below is how they look cut out. Since I will use a 6x6 album, the photos are roughly 3x2. (which is taking a photo into photos shop and reducing it to 35%.)

I used my digital page kit of 
 Double D Digitals - Layerworks #No. 209 and used one of the photo frames to frame out all of the Camp Brinkley pictures I wanted to make a mini scrap album with.


Conrad and Scott making a bird house together

Round the campfire


Did you just take a photo of me??
