Merry Christmas 2025

Similar to last year I made cards at Walmart and took screen shots of them but then I made cards in Canva too. This year I made 5 versions though. We have never taken the Christmas photos as late as we did this year. I Forgot to take a screen shot of the red card so took a picture of it.

Miles - age 9, 3rd grade

Card Making (8.28.19)

I was making and planning cards. I was trying to figure out which colors to use for a butterfly. I had to hold Liam at the same time.

People wonder why I don't do card classes anymore. If only I had time to prep and time to host them, I'd do it.

Card Class 2.8.16

I had 4 cards at class. I did 2 repeats from previous classes since the people weren't repeating. I really wanted to plan another card but it was just too much. Class would go too long.

I used Valentine's Day washi tape with heart framelits that I bought on Amazon. I also did a variation of this card that was vertical with 3 smaller hearts cut out.

I love the dragonfly sizzix. I just want to use it all the time.

This uses the hexagon punch. It's a repeat from before. Before I used a stamp that said "Thank You" but I couldn't find that this time. Most people want birthday cards anyway. I'm just short on Thank you cards. I mailed all mine.

The 3 flowers is a repeat from before but I used a different green this time since I didn't have enough of the green I used last time.

1.22.16

I taught a bootacmp while Ella was at preschool.

Ella was in the older kid room at school having fun when I went to pick her up.

Ella played some legos.

Laura even played with Ella a little during the Stampin' Up class and she didn't even get behind.

We did a class just on dresses.

11.12.16

The night's sleep was awful. Ella was up twice. She was sick.

Ella guilted me to take her to the bazaar. She asked why I picked Miles to take. :( :(

The bazaar was scheduled 10-4 and I was selling my cards. Tobe was coming halfway through or so and then I could leave if necessary. Hilary was there from the beginning. I had to get there a little after 9 to set-up. I was late because Ella guilted me into taking her so then I had to get stuff ready for her. If I didn't take her, I actually had to leave by 12:45 because Dave had to go into work. So I got to stay longer but as it got close to nap time I knew we had to leave. Ella promised she would sit there bored and not leave the table. That did not happen. She did sit there a little bit when she was eating or some of the time she was watching youtube on my phone. She wanted to shop. She wanted everything. We did buy her a ponytail holder with some decorations on it made by a 6 year old. (I think she lost it before the end of the night). Miles took a few short naps there. I nursed him a few times. He wouldn't let me wear him because it was too hot. We even had to leave to go to the travel potty in the car twice. She didn't want to use a public restroom but that's why I'm so glad we still have a travel potty,

When one of Ella's friends was there to shop, Ella and Mary held hands as they walked around shopping.

Overall foot traffic was very low. We didn't make that many sales. If one lady didn't buy 22 cards then we would have barely made any. This year I didn't spend more than I made so that's good.
I bought raffle tickets and did win something. But I heard chances were really good. Not many bought them! Each vendor had to donate something worth $10 so there were 29 booths (minus a couple cancellations) so they had a decent number of prizes.

We hung out in the evening. Dave worked until Late. I was so tired after the bazaar. Man was it exhausting with 2 kids there. If I was just selling stuff without kids then it would have been a piece of cake.
