Crafting with Lissie
As per the norm when Lissie is here, we did lots and lots of crafting...well, card making at any rate.
She's been receiving Paper Pumpkins in the mail every month, and they had stacked up. She and I find we enjoy card making more when we have company.
Worried about the pile o' boxes she had going on in her own stamping space, Liss brought with her six boxes of incomplete projects. :o)
Monday we worked on three kits. All of us (including Miss Bean, as you can see) made cards. Bean needed a bit of help here and there, but mostly was good to do on her own.
Bitty flew through them and I couldn't have been more proud of her. She has a fine-tuned attention to (crafting) detail. If only she could it apply it towards her chores...;oP
After dinner and putting the girls to bed Monday evening, Liss and I hit the offudio and made a couple more cards.

We used the leftovers from one of the kits (the banners and the white pieces with the sentiment) and DSP from my stash.
No worries, though, the girlies were ready to go!
Lil was off from school (work day) and I had declared the day a "pajama day". The girls were more interested in racing out to play in the snow than in staying in their jim jams and out they went.
Bean was back first, with frozen fingers. Wool mittens don't do to much to protect hands from icy water...
Bitty came in soon thereafter, and both girls raced upstairs to put their pajamas back on! :oP

All comfy once more, we headed to the dining room to work on the last three kits.
Well, kit one we had pretty much already completed at Lissie's. Oops.
Kit two we needed Valentine's Day treats to put in the cellophane bags provided. Doh.
But, kit three we could do and boy howdy how fun was it?!? See all those fun little confetti stars? I had to punch them from paper.
I saw the negative space in the paper and thought, "Hm...this could make an awesome stencil!"

And, it did! We finished the kit, the girls went off to have a reading/resting break, and Liss and I played in the offudio some more.
Please note all the following cards are the same layout and idea, the only difference is color of ink and washi tape.

I was stymied last night and couldn't really come up with any new or fun ideas, so instead we sat and watched the Audrey Hepburn/Humphrey Bogart 1955 Sabrina and pretended to make cards. ;o)
This morning, Liss took off, the girls both went to school, and we were back to life as normal. I have Bible Study this evening and still need to do that homework.
With that in mind, I'll leave you with some sparklies and I'm off. :o)

They're filming an AMC TV show, TURN there at the moment. Any of you watch it? If so, is it worth me picking up? I confess I'm intrigued. :o)
3. The pets.

And, check out Finn's position. He's ready to jet, isn't he? :oP
4. And, finally, Lil was Ellie's show and tell on Monday. Lily stayed the day with the class and, according to Mrs. O, was a HUGE help! Both girls were so chuffed by the entire experience my heart was overflowing from happiness. :o)
