Creative Friday--THE RETURN!!

Sweet Fancy Moses, I hadn't even dared to hope Michelle and I would be able to get together for Creative Friday before the New Year, but she called me Wednesday night to see if I was up for it and of course I said yes!


Oh happy day, the Creative Friday table is full of our stuff once again!!


Michelle provided chocolate-chunk cookie and a cheese ball, what the? They made for some festive and tasty snacking, I told her she was back with a vengeance.


Tasty lunches have returned!


I addressed a huge stack of envelopes for our Christmas cards (which don't exist yet) and cut out some good mail labels. It felt great to be so productive again!


Michelle made the world's cutest tags, no one would ever have guessed her paper-art skills have been lying dormant for 3 months!


Eva was incredibly chatty today and spent most of the time at the table with us, but eventually ended up donning her Santa hat and playing the wii.


The return of the Creative Friday self-portrait.

**Have you done anything creative lately?
Are you pro cheese ball?
Does anyone in your house wear a Santa hat?**

Comment Window Tidbit: We finally started our Christmas cards. No matter how good our intentions are we never seem to get them mailed out before the 20th!

I am SO pro cheese ball. Probably because my personality is very cheese-ball.

Oh, I am SOOOO happy to have Michelle back. All is right with the world when I can voyeuristically join Creative Fridays once again.

The wii-playing, Santa-hat wearing Eva is atrociously adorable. :)

Sigh. Joy.

Ashley said...

Hooray! I'm all for making time for the things and friends you really love during the holidays--there are too many stressful yet not really important time-sucks!

Amy said...

Yay for you! our weeks just got a whole lot better.

Natasha said...

How wonderful the two of you are back together creating!!!

I've worn a hat in the past only to look back and see how ridiculous I looked, festive but ridiculous.

I've never made a cheese ball... it looks so good. All I can think of is the Saturday Night Live "balls" skit. Hee Hee Hee...

My cards are going out late this year... I wanted to get the WHOLE family in the picture so we are waiting for megan to get here-- wooo hoooo! (plus, I've gotta get charlie in the photo- he's who everyone really wants to see!)

HOOOOORAY FOR CREATIVE FRIDAY! it just makes my day to know you got together this week!! so great. My creative thursdays have been a life saver :)

I am all about the cheese ball! I make a really good one too, if I do say so myself! I love, love them- and now i have to have one.

I bought two santa hats for the dogs - the only fun thing about having dogs is putting hats on them during holidays. funny.

What a great day. I wouldn't mind some of that tasty snacking right now, yum!

I've always loved Michelle's tree and it didn't disappoint this year either!

I could never be as cute as Eva in a Santa hat so I stay away from them.

wende said...

yay for the return of productive goodness. and you both are looking awesome in your portrait!

and i am SO pro cheese ball! cheese is my favorite food group. i think if i could eliminate cheese from my diet i would weigh 100 lbs, maybe less. :)

shannon said...

AHHHH!! All is well with the world...I always love to see what delicious food ends up on Michelle's pretty black and white plates...

Do you know how much I pine away to be a part of your Creative Fridays? sigh...

I love seeing so much productivity happening--

Holly said...

You can never go wrong with a cheese ball.

It's so nice to see you two together again! Creative Friday has returned--all is right with the world.

So happy you guys are back on, now I can be jealous again.

I feel bad that I took you away from such a great day. I wish you would have told me you were getting together and I could have made other plans for the girls.

Rebekah said...

Oh, thank heavens...

I want that plate of pasta so badly...

How does Michelle come up with so many cute projects? I have such a hard time bringing different elements together.

Eva...Eva, Eva, Eva...
