Keeping up to date has been hard, but here we go folks!
Day 5 was a Saturday and I spent the day wrapping presents and playing around with Simba. I used to always bonk my dad on the head with the empty rolls from wrapping paper – so of course I tortured my poor pooch with light love taps – he ignored me for the most part! I added some Washi tape, Mambi stickers and dollar Hobby Lobby stickers!
Day 6 was a Sunday and it was my book club’s First Annual Christmas dinner. We met at Joey’s Don Mills and enjoyed some food, drink and of course talked a bit about our December book – Fault in Our Stars. I added almost no embellishments, letting my friends happy faces – and of course the amazing dessert – take center stage
Day 7 was a relaxing Monday night where I lit the tree and again played with Simba. He has been ignoring the tree thank goodness. This date I added a journal card from Becky Higgins Holiday collection and added a mambi sticker
Day 8 was all about music. I started listening to CHFI 98.1 all the time because they played Christmas music 24/7 and my favourite song is my dad’s song “Toyland”. I used the lyrics as my pic on a 6X8 card
Day 9 Every year Simba gets his picture taken with Santa (at his daycare) and I wanted him to wear a Santa hat – he was having none of it. As soon as we got the strap around his head he’d paw it off – hence the BA HUMBUG card.
Day 10 my friend asked me to help him pick out a tree. We went to a little tree lot and this guy came out of his trailer (looking oddly like a mass murderer) and helped us get this beautiful tree. Here are the two we chose from – we got the one on the right! Since we yet to have snow, I added some colourful snowflakes I got from my friend Sarah and a round 10 from Mambi.
