Almost there!

Hey there everyone! We are only 3 days away from Christmas! Can you believe it? So much has been going on. So much to see and do. Last night I took my oldest, Haley, and her friend Emma to Borders. They each had fun perusing the aisles. Giggling as all little girls do! I went on to shop for some gifts for the babies and found myself in the magazine section. After a quick lookover (the store was closing in 10 minutes) my eyes came upon a publication that I always adore, Digital Studio, by Somerset Studio.



What caught my eye was using my iPhone to create digital art. This got my attention because this magazine always has such beautiful art. I took the magazine home, read the article, downloaded the apps, and here is what I came up with.



I love my very first creation! I'm so excited and can't wait to create more art on my iPhone!

Hope you like it. Have a very Merry Christmas! It's time for me to do more funky crafting.

Unsuspecting...

Yesterday we met Jason on his lunch to scope out The Portola Plaza where a friend of ours wants us to take her family portraits. They have a beautiful Christmas tree in the lobby that we'll be using as a background. Naturally I had my family stand in to take practice shots. Out of all of the pictures I took with them looking at me, the best one was one that I took in between the "posed" shots. You never know when the best shots are going to happen!




Have a great day!

One down....

I just took a look at my blog and realized how long it's been since I've posted here. OMG, how the time flies when the holidays are upon us! Well, I got one project done and shipped off today. It was actually several projects for my aunty. She will have the cutest little pups on the block when they get the Santa hats that I made for them.


Of course, aunty needed a Santa hat of her own to match her babies.



Last but not least, a pair of crocheted slippers for her MIL.



One project down and more to work on tonight to send off tomorrow. Santa's little elves are so busy at this time of the year. This particular elf just loves this time if year. More to come from Santa's outpost at the Funkhauser house. I won't be posting pics as what I will be working on will be for someone who reads my blog but I hope to post pics of another project.
Until next time, have a joyful time crafting.

December is here...

December is here and Christmas is in full swing. Yesterday we even did some post-Christmas shopping. I know you're thinking, "What the heck?". Well, we went and purchased our wreath container to store it in when the holiday is done. Last year we went to get one after all was said and done. They were sold out of them. We had to store the beautiful wreath that Mikes mom, Renee, made for us in the cardboard box she sent it in.



Now it has it's own storage case to keep it pretty for many years to come.

Of course, we had to make a pit stop at Starbucks on the way out. Here are the girls waiting for mommy while she gets her fix.


Here is a picture I took just because. I love the way Hipstamatic makes the pictures look. It's funny how that with all of the advancement in technology to make our pictures all beautiful and crisp, we tend to adore the "old fashioned, vintage" look and try to recreate it.



I just love how this picture turned out!

Until next, I hope the start of your holiday season has been wonderful!

Have a great day!
