Getting in the Mood!

It certainly is beginning to look like Christmas around here. Thought I'd share a few holiday photos I took this week. Part of my conscious effort to take at least one photo each day for my December Daily, which I started putting together last night using my Elle's Studio kit. Here's a peek at my cover - still very much a work in progress - love those chunky glitter Thickers!:

Stopped by my favorite garden center in Rumson on Thursday and took these pictures....
Don't these look yummy? Too bad they are glass ornaments - would love to do a little display like this:

Little elf clothes on a clothesline - this could be fun to re-create on a cake, no? Kind of like a banner. Use real candy canes and make the clothes out of fondant? Inspiration is everywhere!
Speaking of elves, our little guy has been up to no good around here:
Wish I could take responsibility for this idea, because it was a HUGE hit, but it was something I found on Pinterest. My kids were actually a little worried that the elf was going to get banished from the house for writing on something that wasn't paper with a permanent marker. (this is a big no-no in our house) They were so concerned they took all our Sharpies and put them away in my desk so the elf wouldn't write on anything else.

Today we are going to start the Christmas tree and finish the rest of the house decorating. We also have to go see a Nutcracker puppet show this morning for scouts. That should be cute. Yep, definitely starting to feel like Christmas here.

One more thing...have you seen the re-designed Pebbles, Inc. blog? It's looking gorgeous and there's a giveaway up to win some of the awesome new With Love line. It's a really cute Valentine line and it's got those awesome sticky notes and masking tape stickers, too. Stop by and leave a comment to win!

Happy Saturday everyone!

What a naughty little elf you have, Val and the kids' response was adorable! :) I love the idea of the candy cane banner-might look great on a card, too! :)
