Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!  I hope the holiday season was joyful and fulfilling for you and your family. Every year, Ron and I love seeing our favorite Christmas Trees as well as new ones. Here is a look at these gorgeous trees. South Coast Plaza Mall This tree was so huge! You are seeing just half the tree from the second floor. We had a great time at the mall seeing all the decorations and this spectacular tree. Loved this Poinsettia plant tree! Saddleback Church I can imagine how glorious this tree is at night. Wish we could of seen it shine. 2nd & PCH Shopping Center Embassy Suites Hotel Rio Hondo Golf Course Lobby City Hall We love taking pictures every year at our city's tree. We went on Christmas Eve and enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this fun tour of some of our local beautiful trees! Happy holidays and wishing you all a blessed New Year.

As I look back on 2023, I was glad to see I made 14 scrapbook layouts. Some months ago, I knew I wanted to make a "flip through" YouTube video sharing these pages. When I counted the pages last week, I was happily surprised to see I had more than I thought. Take a look and I hope you enjoy seeing these creations. Click Here Here are a few of my favorites. Thanks for stopping by and wishing you all a wonderful NEW YEAR! Be inspired!

I adore making papercrafts and this pocket card project by Heidi Swapp was a joy to learn and create. She offers this pocket class called "Surprise Inside" on her website and I enjoyed taking it in 2021. Class Link Here After finishing this card, I created a YouTube tutorial about it. Have you ever seen a multi nesting project like this? So creative! My YouTube Tutorial Recently, I was looking at this video and decided to make another one. I used Jen Hadfield's "Peaceful Heart" collection . So pretty! I haven't filled it with pictures yet but at least you can see it as it is. Take a look! 7 Pieces in all I hope you enjoyed seeing this fun card. Give it a try! Have a nice day!
