Elf on the Shelf – Collage of ideas from 2011

Since Elf on the Shelf ideas are floating around the internet like crazy, I thought I’d make a quick collage of photos from last year. This was really fun for my kids, but a lot of work for me! Even so, I am looking forward to doing it again this year. There is no way my kids would let me off the hook on this one ;)

Mari + Octavio are Married — The Ceremony

Since my own wedding has come and gone and the momentum from that craziness has finally slowed down, I thought I’d work on finishing Mari and Octavio’s wedding from this summer (yikes, time flies when you’re preoccupied with your own wedding plans…)

Here are some of their ceremony. A few months ago I shared some getting ready photos.
