Time is flying by even faster.

Thanksgiving was a blast. Son-in-law cooked with a few added tasty tidbits contributed by Ashley and Diane. Yummmmmm!!! Played a few games and decorated onesies for the baby shower.

Finished up my Whole page Christmas.

It looked like this before I added popped images, pearls and paperclips.

It still seems a bit plain. I think I will get out the glitter pen.

5 golden ring paperclips for her to use wherever.

Time is Flying

Here it is already November and I do not have my Christmas cards made. I have handmade my cards since we retired here in '94. Even that 1st Christmas, when we had to live with Mom and Bill, I made them. This year it seems so hard to get started. Hard to get started on anything.

Swap-bot worked as inspiration for a while but lately I have had to push myself to finish some of the swaps I found appealing enough to join.

I did make another "Whole page First Snow" pocket page even though we are highly unlikely to see snow here until January. But ........

This is the layout unadorned.

I ended up removing the "Let it Snow" sign because its metal was digging into the plastic of the pockets. I didn't want them damaged.

I love the snowflake paperclips I made from paper fasteners and paperclips. I just had to add a bit of ultra suede (same smooth finish but thinner than felt) to the backs to keep them from being scratchy. The 1st picture is of the backs before I added the suede. 

The clips add just enough pizzazz to the pockets to keep them interesting. Plus my partner can remove them to use elsewhere.
