I also finished up the Church Calendar project last week, yay! I was really sweating over the whole thing, not really knowing what I wanted to do with it.  I called the printer for further information and then got into a rhythm and figured it out.  Such a relief to get an email from the Pastor saying he liked the mock up copy he got. YAY!

I am trying to work on some paper projects today.  I have some ATCs to do and some Concroption.com projects too.  I want to send a shout out to the three newest members to the TaG team, Lynn, Allie and Sue!  I can’t wait to get to know you all better!

My girlfriend Chrispea has created a set of Christmas Journaling spots that can be used in Digital Scrapbooking (like my layout here) or printed out and used in Traditional (hybrid) scrapbooking.  The best thing of all, other than they are fabulous, is that she’s giving them out for free!  Check out her blog: Chrispea! If you decide to download them, leave her a comment and tell her you heard about them from bossy joscie!;)  credits: Kraft Paper (Kindergarten Krafts, www.peppermintcreative.com) Staples (Foxy Lady Kit, www.peppermintcreative.com) Curled Frame (Miss Mint’s Curled Frames, www.peppermintcreative.com) Chrispea’s Christmas Tags (workforscraps.blogspot.com).  Font: Joscie, courtesy of yourfonts.com Journaling: Jalen, Aiden and Derek.  The rapping Santas also did the running man, the cabbage patch, raised the roof and the Roger Rabbit.  I could not stop smiling!

For the Dymo Caption Maker: it is available directly from Dymo : here or you can check amazon, Wal-Mart, or your lss or other big box store.

The retail price is 24.95.  For Jocelynne, the cassettes are easily interchangable for Upper/Lower and Script in the same words! (what a great idea that is!).  Also, I did not find any other fonts than the three included in the kit. Labels are available in many colors (including clear) and it is very easy to use.

also, if you are making/sending holiday cards, why not consider sending some to our Country’s Heroes?

We are hosting Jalen’s class pet Indy again this weekend.  We braved the rain to take him to Bishop Museum to learn about Megladon (a huuuuge shark) and to see the volcano and the rest of the science center. We also hit McLunch, J’s KnickKnacks (got some spellbinders pinked circle dies, label 1 and cuttlebug houndstooth embossing folder and black chipboard *score!), Lighthaus Camera where I coveted a 10-22 lens, an 18-200 lens and a 24-70 L lens (which really felt at home in my hands). ahhh if only.  The last stop before returning home, Dee Lite Bakery for some rainbow cake, our family favorite. okay, my favorite.  Jordan told me his favorite was chocolate when we got home.

Now, back to my paper.  Love Love to you all, and I’ll blog you again soon!

Joscie, rhymes with bossy!
