My little Ballerina...

Hey all!! So is everyone done with their Christmas shopping?!? HA!! I'm glad that I did some early, because I feel the last minute scramble is going to attack me again this year.  I still have NO CLUE what my 8 year old is going to get... the things on his "list" are not happening-- I mean seriously child... you are not getting your own laptop at EIGHT!! Oh well... what's a Christmas without the frantic last minute wrestling over the final toy on the shelf at Target!  (Um, NOT that I'VE ever been known to do that! - ah-hem... really!) 

I made a card today--- FOR REAL... I did!! My own little ballerina has two upcoming performances for her class (she dresses like a reindeer for one and in a princess tiara for her other one)--- so I thought this would be super cute for her....even though she can't really read at 4! :)  

I used MOKA MORGANA at Taylored Expressions and the paper is the AWESOME new October Afternoon Sidewalks.  I want to wallpaper a room with the gorgeous papers in that pack!  

Nothing too complicated on the card... I used the large scallop border Taylored Die and a little bit of antique edges with a sponge dauber.  

All three kids have their school Christmas program tonight... so I'm sure there will be an evening of entertainment ahead!! Here's a quick picture from last night of my princess Gabby in her new skirt from Etsy that she's going to wear for the concert.  SO CUTE!! 

I took a 5 hour photoshop mentoring class yesterday, so I'm having some major fun using my new editing skills to work on pictures!! Love how this one turned out!! 

Hope you are all staying warm and toasty and are doing better than me with getting ready for the holidays... I haven't even baked a single cookie yet... YIKES!
