I bet you guys were wondering....

where the blog was this morning. Well, the bloggER slept in and as she was crawling out of bed she was informed her coffee pot broke while she was away the night before!!! GASP! So, she had to go to town for a large banana and chocolate infused cup of Joe before she could get movin'. My apologies!

So, now that I'm caffeinated how 'bout some projects?! Our friend Michelle Granger, who most of you know as the amazing instructor for Quick Quotes, sent me this adorable little holiday mini book project she made.

Michelle is using this book to categorize her family's Christmas wishes this holiday season. She used the holiday gift set for the 'Christmas', the retired Chopsticks alpha for 'lists' and this year's Santa's Workshop font for the year. This is a great way to knock out two birds with one stone, so to speak. You can use a book like this to keep track of your holiday events, lists, etc. then after the holiday you simply add your photos to the book and you have a complete album! Love it!

Mary Sinfield and her friend Kim created this adorable book for Howard and Laura. Mary and Kim are long-time friends of Scrap-Mart. Here's a peek at the cover...

I love how she added the gems to the snowflake! And this photo shows the little tag they added to the inside...

Look at how they embossed the top with the Snowflake Embossing Folder. Too cute! And here's a look at one of the page spreads (please excuse the blurriness; not sure what my problem was! LOL!)...

This book is nice and sturdy and has plenty of room for all of Howard and Laura's holiday pics!

Well, my apologies again for being late today but a girl's gotta have her coffee; or this girl does anyway! I hope you're all having a great week! It's rather chilly here in Northeastern Oklahoma which really helps to put me into the holiday spirit! If you're working on any wonderful holiday projects we'd love to see them! You can email them to me at katie@scrap-mart.com. We always love to see what our friends are up to! Don't forget to stop back by Friday for our weekly sketch challenge. See you then!
