Finding the Holiday Joy

Sick for Thanksgiving!

I got sick with some kind of headache/sinus thing on the Monday before Thanksgiving and spent the holiday in bed, my first day up and out of my bedroom was Friday after. I am starting to feel better now but it was a rough week. I did manage to make to Bass Pro Shop to Santa's Wonderland and there I was able to take pictures of my g-babies meeting Santa this year :) Loved that.
I also missed the first day of my class with Kelly Willette Finding the Holiday Joy, I am trying to get caught up on 7 days of pictures, should be fun though because I love, love the things we're asked to photograph!! I hope to post some pictures from my class as I start rolling along with the pictures. If it were daylight I'd go do them all right now!!
This time of year I start thinking about candles and this year is no different, I find myself wanting to smell baking cookies in my livingroom or hazelnut coffee in the kitchen (not because I'm making some though :) I've become a fan of Scentsy, I have to get a few more warmers for the house!! Mochadoodle sounds deeelish!!
Today it was 38 degrees, with a wind chill of 29, I was so in my element!! I wore a coat and was snug as a bug in the car going to work this morning!! Makes it feel all the more like Christmas!!

I have used some of the Florabella actions recently, here are a couple of my favorites :) I like to combine them, Allure, Ambrosia, Musette and sometimes Mademoselle are my favs so far. I will be happy when I learn a few more things about the actions though.

Little Punkin Productions Logo

I'm having a logo made and it is looking so good so far, very excited about it :) I have always thought that I am more of a simple and clean design gal, but it turns out that I like a whirl and swirl too :)

Passwords

I am here to say that I absolutely, positively can't stand all the passwords I have to keep up with, today I was locked out of my own UHC policy online for trying too many times to login :( I can't remember my bank password, that one you can't mess up on or they make you call...........please don't make me call I'll do anything!! I have a password to my work email, timeclock and to get into the scheduling manager.....that's ok right? No I have to change those passwords all the time, gotta have a capital letter, a number, a symbol, a lock of my hair and the social security to my first born! Then I have all the passwords to the fun stuff I do, fortunately I have streamed lined those, they are all the same..........something exotic rhymes with hippopotamus :) PayPal!!! geez, I have a paypal acct, can't remember the password, it's harder to get in there than in my own bank. Then there's the username, login name, profile name, user ID......did I give this a name or is it my email address or just the first part of my email address or did I use ElleSnaps?? I'm suffering from password fatigue, please I would call for help but I can't remember the password!!!

Shutterfly Holiday Cards

My first post to my blog, and fittingly it is about Shutterfly Holiday Cards. I have been using Shutterfly for my Christmas cards since 2008, I can hardly wait to pick out the one for this year. I have delighted in using my granddaughter on the card, but this year I have a new granddaughter, sooooo two grandbabies for the card. Shutterfly has the most wonderful cardstock, they print up beautifully, it makes me proud to send them out. Every year I have heard back from many of my family and friends on how much they love, love the cards 'where did you get those done?'. I helped several of my family members make their Christmas cards last year too, they were very pleased with the results :)
I love Christmas, the decorations, the baking, the presents, and the mail! Making my card on Shutterfly is a tradition now. Here are some links to some of my favorite photocard products thru Shutterfly:
