Today was a BUSY day and full of so much joy! We somehow made it home tonight to light candles *and* get them scrapped before I pass out. zzzzzzzzz......

I can't stop laughing at our leaning candles tonight. This is why we leave the menorahs where they're not a fire hazard.

I love how all the gold accents echo the glow from the candles here. It feels very cozy and warm.

Option B Tied Up with String Just a fun little tag with a tree cutout and strings across the cut out area - I've been wanting to try making something like this for a while so it was fun to have the challenge as an excuse to spend some extra time today making it happen finally :) credits...

My mom took my son & I to a ceramics place to make a menorah just after his first Hanukkah. It's the first one we put out every year.

Option A Deck the Halls (show off your decor) Hubby hasn't helped decorate the yard in several years, but all of his walks around our neighborhood this year inspired him. He moved the old fountain away from the house flower bed and decorated it with icicle lights. We pulled out the snowflake...

Seeing wild manatees is less "bucket list" than "winter break plans" but it's still a favorite. Plus I don't have any crocodilians currently to scrap my quest to see a wild American crocodile.

I saw an article in the paper over the weekend that described this year's "new" Christmas decorating trend as "Tacky Christmas" - where you just put all of the things you love out together to enjoy. there is no color or style coordinating, just the things that bring joy and spark memories for...

I threw the whole hard drive as this spread. (Right side can be found here - https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=776179)

I said in my December album "reason why" that I was going all-in on the Christmakkah chaos this year and I'm taking that to heart. When my son not only requested a balloon garland but actually blew up as many balloons as we'd let him, we ended up with two.

I meant to make a 2023 version last year. (I had a note on my scrapping spreadsheet and everything.) I actually like this year's planner spreads better so it was worth the wait ;)

Journaling: When you walk the same routes day after day, you start to notice little changes occasionally - the leaves changing, a blue or red bird in the trees, the new landscaping in the neighbors yard, and sometimes Bigfoot is peeking out from in between the trees. In December 2022 I hadn't...
