WHOA!  Where did all that time go that I got 3 weeks behind on my 365 photos?  Oh yeah, it’s called the holidays, sickness, parties, and life in general.  Whew!  I am determined, though, to finish this 365 project.  My other 365 counterparts are wrapping up their projects, but I’m a tad behind.  I’m gonna catch you all the way up to day #312 right now!  In no particular order, here they are…

Whew!  Now to catch up another few days!  Thanks for sticking with me!

Today was the second round of my cleanse on my Isagenix total body cleanse system.  So, since I am not eating food today & tomorrow, I needed to keep my hands & my mind busy.  Brooke & I scoured Michael’s this morning for some nice Christmas scrapbooking paper.  I found a blog a while back where a gal showed how to make origami boxes with 12×12 paper.  Ever since then, when I’ve had a smallish type of gift, I’ve made a box for it.  I love these boxes & got a little crafty today by adding my own bows to them!  Wow, I know, you’re impressed!  In case you want to see how to make your own, here’s the link.  My only advice after making so many, leave the top box 12×12 inches, and cut a 3/4″ off the smaller box, not 1 inch like she says in the tutorial.  It makes for a more snug fit.  Have fun!

I decided to start a Christmas tradition with the girls of making a gingerbread house.  This was completely & totally a kit, so don’t think I’m amazing or anything.  The only amazing thing I did was keep them from eating all the candy before decorating with it.  They had a blast.  I think we’ll keep the tradition going.

Josh gave me a much needed few hours to myself on Tuesday evening since I had been stuck inside with sick kids for a week.  I went to visit Paper Source & Target.  Ahh…refreshing!

I have many more of these, but I don’t want to spoil the surprise for the people who are going to be receiving them for Christmas.  This is a quick peek at a 2″x3″ ornament frame from The Organic Bloom.  They are a vendor from my home state of Oklahoma that I will soon be working with by offering their gorgeous frames to my clients.  I cannot wait!
