Okay everybody, I'm trying to put together a binder of super-fun (super easy, for my craft-impair-ed-ness...?!?) Christmas projects and now that the Big Day has come and gone I should have some time to document all the cute and wonderful ideas I saw this season. And that's as far as my brain ever gets... any help? - I'd love to see links and pics of fabulous (but I stress again, EASY) holiday crafts. Expecially the ones that my kids can help with. I spent too much of this Christmas season trying to figure out what to do, and not enought actually doing it. Never again!

rock, paper, scissors, lizard, spock

So I went and saw Twilight last night... again. It's still a low-budget bomb, but it's MY low-budget bomb. (And yes, I will still go with you if you haven't seen it yet. Name the time and the place.)

I've been at my parent's house in Sherwood Park since Sunday - visiting, making crafts, shopping and embarrassing myself in front of my sister's friends. I needed this little bit of de-stress time since the big S. You know, Super Saturday. It was fun, it was stressful, and I think some people even enjoyed themselves. Note to self: next time try a little delegation.

I'll travel home tomorrow, just in time to make a dessert for (but not attend) the ward Christmas party (because we double booked ourselves and feel we should attend Trev's work party). Even though I've had the other decorations up for about a month, I'm excited to put up the tree. I'm also super-excited to start in on my Christmas treats and plan our Christmas meal, wrap presents, and do the last little bit of shopping. I think all this Christmas hubbub is the best part of being a mom!

Well, that's all for now (but if you want to know more about the title of this post you should check the YouTube clips from Big Bang Theory).
