Big Picture Classes

I LOVE taking scrapbooking classes from Big Picture Classes.  They are all online and I have learned a lot from each class that I have taken.  Yesterday I got an email that they have a ton of their more expensive classes available today only for $10.  I quickly signed up for the Super Stashbuster class. This class has a bunch of challenges that will use up your stash, no buying new product is allowed! I am pretty excited about starting it probably next week.   I also signed up for Scrapbook Outside the Pocket class, I have a ton of pocket scrapbooking cards from CTMH and here is a class that will teach me how to use them for other than pocket pages.  If you are new to Big Picture Classes be sure to use my reference (http://my.bigpictureclasses.com/register.php?refer=67875594) to get 10% off your second class (so you have to register and buy a class then you will get a code for 10% off your next class).

Also I have been having a hard time finding the list of 10 classes that are $10 on their site, so you here is the link I received in the email: http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/10-for-10?utm_source=bigpicture&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=big_picture_classes&utm_content=LAST+CHANCE%3A+10+Classes+for+%2410+Sale%21.

Also today is the last day for the Deal of the Decade and the December Stamp of the Month.  So check those deals out on my website (sharesa.ctmh.com).

I hope everyone has a Happy New Year and I can't wait to see you in 2015!

Memory Christmas Update

I have had a few questions as to what else we have done this Christmas for our Memory Christmas, I don't have any photos to share due to some computer issues.  Sorry!

Saturday ended up being a bit of a bust, kind of.  We headed out to IKEA to find storage for our Legos from Lego day, they didn't have anything that we liked.  Then we headed over to Target to find a new TV, but they didn't have the one that we wanted in stock.  So we looked for Lego storage and found some, and since we could get a TV so that we could do a movie night, we ended up getting a new game and doing a game night instead.  We grabbed some dinner from Burgerville and headed home.  We put all the Legos away and started the game night with the baby's favorite games, Ring A Round the Rosie and Duck Duck Goose.  After that we put the baby to bed and played our new game Sequence for Kids.  We popped popcorn and allowed everyone to eat as much candy as they wanted. The kids say it wasn't that much of a bust, but that they wish we could have gotten a new TV instead.

Sunday we did our usual church thing, and ended the night with some reading of our book for school, The Bronze Bow (which is a really good book, though I think it is over most of my kids' heads).

Monday was great, we got up I did my workout, and we all did yoga together.  Then we did our clean-up job of the day (general pick up and straighten).  This took all morning because some of the family didn't want to participate in the cleaning, not a huge surprise.  After lunch and nap time, we climbed in the car and headed to the Fort Vancouver Library for some letterboxing.  The kids LOVED it for the first 4 and then were done, which left me to see if I could find the other 4.  I ended up only finding one more and the place where two others should have been, but weren't.  We headed home where Creed then went on a date with our oldest.  They went out to dinner (Burgerville) and then brought a show home to watch (Barbie and the Secret Door).  I joined them for the show.  She loved being able to go and spend time with just her Dad and he said that it was great to get to talk just with her.

So far this Christmas idea has been great and everyone is excited about the coming days.  Creed and I are loving it and have decided that we might just do this sort of thing every year.

Just a few days

There are just a few days left in December to take advantage of the amazing deal on stamps.  With any $50 order you qualify for the Deal of a Decade, which means that any of the C and D stamps in the Annual Inspirations are $10.  This is a great time to get those stamp sets that you have been eyeing, but not buying.  Along with that any $50 order also qualifies for the stamp of the month at $5.  What an amazing savings, and only a couple days left to take advantage of these deals.  So head on over to my website to get your savings today!

Memory Christmas Lego Day

Day one of our memory Christmas is done and it was a blast! We started the day with some yoga:

Then we did our cleaning chore for the day, our school and craft room.  Then Lego day began. 

We started by sorting and putting together all of the sets that we had. During the sorting our little mister said, "when can I start building?" He is our master builder and having to sort was pure pain for him.

Then we opened the huge box of new sets. And got building.

The mister and his fire truck.

Here we have the girls and the Sunshine Ranch.

My oldest and Heartlake High.

Here are my musters and the B-wing from Star Wars.  Both of these guys are excited about how cool this thing is.  

We also included the baby: 

She is probably too young by everyone's standards, but there is no stopping this little from joining everybody in whatever they are doing, so we let her play with us and just etch her carefully. The funny thing is that she never puts Legos in her mouth and we find the older littles using their mouths all the time to take the Legos apart. Silly littles. Everyone except the baby stayed up till 10 building and playing and enjoying our time together.

The kids were so excited and had so much fun! We aren't sure what we are going to do tomorrow because we don't have enough snow for tubbing yet, we are hoping we can do that next week. So might be bowling, or swimming, or letter boxing, or just playing around.  I guess we will see tomorrow!

On the Agenda

Here is what was on the agenda today at my house:

I am sorry to say that this is my crafting desk after I had already cleared some of the stuff that was on it. Yikes!

So today I cleaned it all and now it looks like this:

Now after Lego day I can start working on scrap booking again. I am super excited and can't wait!
