Shack Professor

at Susan's Scrapbook Shack is for a Christmas gift bag. This month is my month as Shack Professor, so I decided to do a gift giving item for those small gifts that you have to get done to be finished with Christmas shopping. Here's the gift bag I did for Hayleigh's daycare teacher. I'll fill it up with an oversized coffee cup loaded with goodies and tissue! If you would like the instructions for this gift bag and where to find this neat paper mache gift bag just click on the link above.

Christmas light???

It looks like we are limited this year on decorating the new house! Our house roof is too high for Charles to get up there and put up lights. It was 28 degrees yesterday putting up what lights we did do...brrr, it was so cold! I hope to get a picture today. We are still working on the yard since we are not putting much up on the house. We are supposed to get snow tonight and most of the week so I hope to get some pictures of it with snow on the house. Here's what we are working with...


We have a long ladder that they use on utility poles and it would not go high enough to reach the second level and the third level is just not happening!
