Christmas Came and Went

I cannot believe that it is almost February and I haven't updated this!!  First, let's take a look at some of the ornaments I made in 2013:

Now, let's see how the house was decorated:

I just love  Christmas decorating.  When everything comes down and gets put away, I kind of go into a funk - the house looks so plain.  However, I've been busy at Paper Arts - see the next update.

Weddings, weddings, weddings

Seems like we've been to a lot of weddings lately.  A couple of weekends ago, my niece got married.  I finished an 8x8 album last night, using personal photos from the ceremony and reception.  Here's the pages (wish I could figure out how to put the pictures side-by-side:)
