Looking For A New Christmas & Winter Scrap Kit

A couple of years ago, I'd purchased a gorgeous, digital colab kit called Knocking On Winters Door by Jen Ulasiewicz & Phuong Ton. I wore that kit out scrapping photos, making our Christmas cards, creating stationary for holiday letters and even used it through the winter season for the occasional snow photo. Sadly, I lost that kit last year during a HD crash. (Yeah, go ahead an tell me I SHOULD have made a back-up. I did...on my son's external HD. But as with all HD's go, it got full, and then he needed space before I could move it elsewhere.) *wahhhhh*

So now, I'm on the hunt for another amazing colab kit that will not only supply my 2010 Christmas scrapping needs, but can be used to design my Christmas cards, stationary & even take me through my Winter season scrapping needs.

Earlier today, I stumbled across these two amazing kits by Natali Design at ScrapbookGraphics...
(clicking eac photo will take you to the info page for that kit...)



...the hard part is trying to decide which one I want!!

It's Almost Christmas...

and I'm rushing around like a chicken with it's head cut off. My youngest son, Robert, arrived home for the holidays on the 14th and it's brought me more joy than I can express having all of my family under one roof again.

My kitchen should have been finished by now, but I'm still waiting for the cast iron shelf brackets. And until they go up, I can't install my backsplash. OH...which reminds me, instead of using a tumbled, marble mini tiles, I've chosen river rock. Reason being...it's CHEAP and once I'm finished with my bathroom remodel (that's now on day 17) I'll have a ton of it left over.

Yup...day 17 of bathroom remodel...2 years in the making. So far we've replaced the flooring, installed insulation in the outer walls, replaced drywall, redone electrical, replaced part of the ceiling, and moved plumbing for my bubble tub. Now it's down to the details...installing river rock as a backsplash and on the framing for the bubble tub, paint the walls and ceiling, install and paint trim around windows and then i get to decorate!!

I haven't had much down time...but have managed to do a couple of scrap pages.
