Hybrid Gift Tags

I created these labels in Photoshop. I printed at 8×8 on textured white american crafts cardstock and cut with my tonic trimmer.  so so cute, if I do say so myself. and the mostly white background keeps the ink use down. love!

Hybrid Book Plates

This year I ordered book sets for my 10 nieces and nephews.  the little kids got board books and the older ones got sets like Wimpy Kid, Gregor the Overlander, Percy Jackson, The Hunger Games.  I created these personalized book plates for them too.  My boys are getting books too. ;)

On the home front, we’ve been busy making cookies galore.  I tried a new recipe this year that I found through the Pioneer Woman’s blog.  These sugar cookies are so delish and easy we’ll be making them throughout the year!  I will be substituting coconut extract for the almond though.  We also made our Gingerbread houses.  This year instead of one large house we made 3 houses to have a village on our dining room table. :)

I had a little giggle because my pal Marnalicious mentioned that it looked so Christmassy with the wreath and the Christmas tree in the background… I admitted, I had to drag the dining room table about 3 feet over to get the tree in the shot ;)  That’s Jordan’s house on the left, Jalen on the right and Troy and I in the middle.  Jordan says he’s the only one that is perfectly sized to go in the door to the house.  I just say our doors are sized like hawaiian hale, you have to bend over to come in to show you mean no harm ;)

We have also been hiking with Aunty Marnalicious and Aunty FabuLisa and sometimes Aunty Maile.  It is a good habit I need to do more often, I have to work off these cookies before I end up having to buy bigger shorts!  I am done with my shopping and Christmas Card and Calendar designing.  I am waiting on UPS  and USPS to deliver the last packages from Amazon and I’ll get those babies wrapped up.  We went to Target today to print up the Christmas Cards and Calendar prints.  Over the next few days I’ll be putting together the calendars and addressing the Card envelopes. I am finally feeling like I can come up for air, whew!

Oh, and I have a little funny story to share.  I sent out a care package to my girlfriend lala.  The post office left one of those we tried to deliver your package but now you have to come pick it up at the post office…. and they said it was from Joscie Rhymes. heee. of course I listed on the return address: Joscie, rhymes with bossy Cutchens. ;)

I hope you are all doing well out there and having a good Holiday season.  Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you.

In other news, I’ve had my external hard drives M:\Edward and N:\Jacob for about 7 months now and I’ve been watching Edward fill up quickly.  Today I went down to the NEX and picked up another 1TB EHD and set her up.  At first the computer was not wanting to recognize all three at the same time even though I reassigned different drive letters but finally for some reason, it is working now.  So I have L:\Bella and have renamed my portable drive to Jasper as it goes with my laptop Alice ;)

Troy and I have been on a movie watching kick lately.  We’ve watched Pride and Prejudice (2005) and then the BBC 6 part Pride and Prejudice series.  Naturally we followed up with Sense and Sensability, Mansfield Park, Becoming Jane.  I am smitten with the clothing and the manners.  after all those Troy mentioned Horatio Hornblower.  I hadn’t heard of the series before but found it on iTunes and we’ve been watching these after putting the boys to bed.  It’s interesting and other than all the fighting I’m enjoying the series.

I need to figure out what is going on with dinner so I’d better sign off for now.  Thanks for stopping by!
