Thanks to our Crafty Weekend, I finally have stuff to show you today!

So, I met up with Kim and a friend in Chicago and we loaded up headed for Lake Geneva. Here’s a peek at our supplies for the weekend…

Yep. Filled up the entire cargo section of the van.

And this was the scene for most of the weekend…

Hard at work.

The bulk of my work was finishing a Christmas present, a scrapbook for somebody. And I know she reads this, so I don’t want to show the actual project. But here is a peek – proof if you will – that I did 20+ layouts and just about finished the book up on Saturday…

And I also scrapped my favorite recent photos of the girls so that I could fill these shadowboxes for their rooms. (That I have had for many of months.)

This one is Gracie’s…

And it now lives on top of her bookshelf…

And the layout for Addikins….

Which now lives above her little reading chair in her room…

So I felt it was a very successful weekend. Plus, on the plane ride I was able to get two books read, my calendars started, and a little bit of work done. Nice big chunks of time to focus up. It was really nice.

And J. did marvelously as a single Daddy. I got a call on the way to the airport on Thursday from the sitter that Emma had contracted the stomach flu courtesy of Addie, no doubt. And Addie still wasn’t feeling quite herself, so J. had two sick little girlies to contend with for part of the weekend. But they also managed to fit in a movie, bagel Saturday, Em’s last soccer game, a couple of trips to the toy store to make Christmas lists, and plenty ‘o spoiling. Yeah, I think they all had a good time.

How about you? Did you get some time this past week to indulge in a little bit of craftiness? Do share.
