OH I feel like a little kid!
There are going to be some fun changes on my blog ๐ I HOPE!
Thank you to all of you for the warm Christmas wishes ๐
Jason got me a Insignia 720P HD Digital Camcorder for Christmas! I could fall over. That means I may post a few little videos of me here doing some video tutorials! Now that would be so cool. You can not only come here to see some creations but maybe “talk” to me too! LOL! Maybe you don’t want to do that, but I think it will be a blast.
I just need to figure this all out.
My mom also got me a really nice jacket, and Jason a GPS system which was really cool too. We actually had to use it the first time we left the house, to find my mom who got lost! LOL! I think she needs to bring hers with herย when she goes out more often.
I got some other stuff but nothing that would overly interest everyone-little things we all love.
So Im taking a creative break to play with the kids & their toys, ย and my new toy, and hope to return with photos and it all figured out.
I also have TONS of deadlines that I need to get completed.
That all being said we had one the of the best holidays this year. Christmas Eve and Jason’s grandparents was so nice and relaxing, as was our holiday feast with my family yesterday. Just what I had hoped for.
I do feel terrible as the ONE thing I guess Alexa really wanted she didn’t get. So I told her that Santa sent me an email because he accidentally left it on his sleigh and that we could go to the store to get one today.
Her face lit up like crazy when she heard that. I had no idea she wanted that particular doll so bad!~
So I’ll be back tomorrow with a sketch, and some holiday photos.
OK now I want to hear what YOU got! Anything special? How was your holiday?

Glad you had a wonderful holiday and spent it with your family! Sounds like you got spoiled and I can’t wait to see some video tutorials….yah!
Brian spoiled me like crazy….think he went overboard with craft stuff, pretty sure the ladies at the local craft stores LOVE him now! haha!
Sounds like you had a very Merry Christmas and you got some great goodies! I know we are all looking forward to video tutorials now ๐ A Happy and Healthy New Year to you all.
Hi Lauren! You will love your camcorder! Way cool gift! It’s like a gift to us too though because we’ll get videos of you!
I got a Just rite stamper and some extra aphabet sets to go with it. Have just been playing with it! I also got lots of cardstock and designer papers, embellishments, and a great fleece jacket! My daughter and her fiance were able to come join us here so our whole family was together. Really nice time.
Glad to hear yours was wonderful as well.
Hey Lauren,
Glad to hear that you had such a wonderful holiday!
Happy day after Christmas! That Santa is one great guy! How nice of him to email you that he forgot one of Alexa’s gifts. Not everyone would take the time to do that after such a LONG night of work.
Glad that you had such a great day and I’ll be watching for those tutorials. *wink*
I have the biggest house, so I have hosted Christmas Eve with my side of the family for the second year. My mother had 5 kids and we all have spouses and children and some of the children have children, so there were 29 of us here on Christmas Eve. It was fun/stressful/irritating, etc.
Hubby and I usually don’t buy each other anything but he bought me an espresso maker so I could make my own Starbucks at home. I’ve been practicing everyday so I can get my proportions correct and make myself a caramel macchiato anytime I want–non-fat of course. I even pulled out my Martha Stewart cookbook and made my own caramel sauce. I was so proud of it! My mother bought me a Bind-it-all and I am looking forward to playing with it.
Sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas and I hope you get that doll Alexa wants.
I’m so happy that you got your new camera! Yay for you! I am sure you will be able to figure it out pretty soon! A detail I would like to share with you is that youtube quality in video is poor. I am with VEOH and it is pretty nice and you don’t have the 10 minutes time limit! In case you need to actually research before doing your final decision. I know of some gals who use both and you might like to see the same video in both qualities and judge by yourself.
It is pretty nice that Santa was so thoughtful and emailed you about the doll. I wish he had forgotten my gift from my mom (with whom I spent Christmas Eve with) in his sleight.
Like two or three weeks ago I got an early Christmas Present from my boyfriend (a new laptop that I needed badly enough). Then, about a week, my dad gave me $100 that I spent in Scrapbooking supplies. Finally, I got some extra money from work and after buying my boyfriend his present (that was over half of that money) I ordered my FIRST VERY EXPENSIVE SCRAPBOOKING SUPPLY! I bought myself a cricut! The first one but I’m happy with getting something to play with pretty soon! It will not be shipped until January 9th.
Didn’t get anything actually the real Christmas day and got bored looking at my boyfriend playing with his new ipod nano. But I’m pretty happy that soon I’ll have some stuff arriving!
Merry Christmas Lauren! Glad Amber realizes that even Santa makes some mistakes!
prett cool that Santa emailed about the doll. I got the cricut expression from my husband. A gift card from my mom to Micheals. Glad you had a wonderful christmas. Susan
So glad your christmas was fun filled. Great idea with the email from santa too! THat’s a great back up plan. It really is all about making our kids’ christmas, especially while they still believe in the magic of it all. Watching my two girls’ eyes light up at all of the christmas magic and mischief was SO fun!! I was really surprised to find a fancy Nikon D60 under the tree for me as well as a coffee gift card and one for a local craft store. DH spoiled me ๐ Enjoy your new toys and have fun playing with the kids. I think I’ll take mine for a walk and a photo shoot. It is bright blue skies here in California, perfect for a winter walk ๐
Oh my, so much fun & so much food! I got a new hi-tech coffee maker (so hi-tech that it’s beyond me!), a velour jammie set, a beautiful pottery bowl, books & lots of other cute stuff… but no stamping supplies! Guess I’ll have to take care of that oversight myself – LOL! Glad to hear about your video camera. I’m looking forward to some tutorials. Have a blessed & happy rest of 2008!
Hey Lauren…so glad you got a camcorder. You will have a blast with it!!!
My brother and I take turns hosting Christmas and Thanksgiving at our homes. This year Christmas was here. My brother and SIL gave me a covered gazebo for my deck. My boyfriend gave me the “rest” of my birthday gift, which is paying for the rental car when I go to Vermont in April for Relay for Life (birthday part of it was paying for my flight up there). My daughter is on the planning committee for Relay for Life at the college she attends in Vermont, and she registered me to run in the cancer survivor’s relay.

creative goodies aside, I *LOVE* my GPS that my husband got me last year for Christmas. It’s seriously saved me a million times over! Wait til he checks out all the cool things it can do – find you the closest starbucks when you’re in a new city, reschedule a trip around construction, etc – it’s awesome! ๐
Looking forward to all your wonderful creations in 2009 that you’re so generous to share with the craft world! Happy New Year!!
How exciting for you! I got the Ugg boots I wanted AND an external hard drive for my computer! Woohoo! I cannot wait to see a video tutorial! You don’t have anything else to do tonight, right? :o)
YAy for you!!! enjoy your new video camera!! I remember when the one we have was ‘cutting edge’ ๐ Sounds like you had a fabulous day – hope you are enjoying time with J and the kids ๐
Me? – I got an Orange iPod Nanno – my favorite color – and it was inscribed on the back from the girls … very sweet. A few other odds and ends, and my parents were MORE than generous to us with some AmEx GCs… BUT- Dad fell in the kitchen and broke his wrist in two places!! Never a dull moment in my family, I tell you…hopefully 2009 will be MUCH more quiet ๐

HUGS to you darling!
Merry Christmas Lauren and the meader clan! Can’t wait to see what you create in 2009!
I am excited to see your video creations!
I got a SCOR PAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes super excited about that! Even more impressed that my hubby walked into the scrapbook store ALL BY HIMSELF and got me the last one!
I also got an ATG gun from him- I am a little more intimidated by that though- it is HUGE!
Thanks for sharing with us through the year Lauren!
Hugs!
Diane
Congrats on your new toy, can’t wait for tutorials, I’m more of a look and see person…..will be a great help…..
I got another link in my diamond bracelet, hand blender and set of glasses..I have a Wii coming from Vegas next week,DH bought from GD…time to play….
Happy New Year, look forward to all your creations.
Hey Lauren! Glad you had a Merry Christmas! We did too! Tried of all the running but a good tired. I was spoiled for Christmas! My hubby built me a custom stamp pad holder! It is beautiful! It’s on my blog! I also got a sewing machine – my mom still hopes I will try using it on fabric and not just paper! My inlaws gave me a Coach purse! So pretty! I also got some serious cash so I am debating on a big purchase – maybe a SLICE by Making Memories – have you seen this tool? What do you think? Or several little purchases at my fave stamp companies!
It will be so neat to see some tutorials, hope you can figure it all out, I am terrible with all that kind of stuff!
I finally got a cuttlebug and a Kodak printer/scanner, now I can print off my own photos, some spellbinders and embossing plates for the cuttle, and like you said alot of little things I ask for almost every year!
Oh Lauren, it sounds wonderful for you and yours — and quick thinking on the Santa email! My favorite gift came from my daughter — she’s 20. I always say I’m the queen (because she’s the princess) and she found me the craziest pin — a crown with pink, purple and turqoise feather coming out of it — from Chico’s! It’s hilarious because I’m mostly a dark suit kind of lawyer, or I’m supposed to be, as I grow older more and more purple creeps into my wardrobe! LOL!
Lauren,
Sounds like you had a great Christmas! I’m glad. I’m very excited for you about the camera. Can’t wait to see your 1st tutorial! I got Rachel Ray’s Big Orange Book…I so wanted that! New Frosty the Snowman PJ’s. Wanted those too! And a few other odds and ends. Kids were thrilled with their iPod and Mp3 player and video games. I love it that they are so easy to please. Have a great New Years!
I’m glad you had a great Christmas and I’m really excited about the camcorder!! Wooo!! Hopefully we’ll get to watch tutorials now!!!!
I got a SCOR Pal!! I was SO excited! Finally, everything will be exactly straight and faster to measure!
Sounds like you had a fabulous Christmas!
Daniel and I decided not to exchange gifts and instead we took the kids to Great Wolf Lodge. We had an amazing time and the kids are begging to go again soon.
Can’t wait to see your video tutorials! Looking forward to it when you figure things out. ;o)
I’m so happy for your great Christmas…but I’m not too excited over the tutorials as I know some are. We live where we cant get high speed internet. So I don’t get to see videos or you-tubes with it taking 1 1/2 hours to download a three minute you tube. I’m not teasing either. We had a good Christmas my grandchildren got to come down so that made Nanny and Pawpaw’s day as well as seeing our children. ๐
I am so happy you had a wonderful Christmas. We had a pretty rough year and Christmas was really weighing on my mind the closer it came. In all my years I have never not received a gift from my parents or my husband but we had to make sacrafices this year and we put the kids first. I didn’t even take a picture of the tree on Christmas morning like I usually do because I was embarassed but then like a rush it came to me while I watched my kids opening their gifts that so many years we have been blessed with so much. This year the blessings were better than material ones. My children are healthy and growing, I have a wonderful husband and my parents are the best in the world. I am so happy that God gave me the best gift of all this year. Humility. I don’t think I will ever go back to the exessiveness of Christmases past but go forward with a renewed sense of what’s really important in my life and cherish the blessings I have been given everyday.
Dear Lauren,
Merry Christmas and a very healthy and memorable New Year! I have been enjoying your blog for about 6 months now and will continue to be inspired by your creativity. Spending time with your family is on the top of your list! Happy that you received some a fantastic camera to preserve all your family memories!
Blessings, Pam
everything sounds wonderful! How sweet of Santa to send that email! I also got a digital video camera and have not even attempted to upload video for the first time yet!! The Collins home rec’d a Wii, so i guess that tells you in a nutshell what the three of us have been doing!
Santa brought me a set of Copic Ciao markers (A). Holy cow I must have been good this year. I just have to stop being scared and learn how to use them. That would make a great 1st tutorial topic *wink, wink*
My husband surprised me by getting me a new set of watercolor pencils. My old set was 30 years old. They are in a tin and won’t fall onto the floor and break the pencil lead. It matches my Prism color pencils. I love to color esp. when it’s hot here in Texas. Usually he doesn’t pick out good presents. Plus he got me s/free choc. cherries. also he has a surprise coming in the mail. Last year I was down w/heart problems. Too many biils so C-mas didn’t exisit for me last year.I’m lucky to have another year.
