We started out with Cafe Rio Pork Tostadas (pinto beans, flour tortilla, house dressing) and drinks (Coke for me and Coke Zero with Lime for her).
Lucas and Landon were very kind to let Eva play with them for quite awhile (Whitney had gone out with my mom that day).
Eva painted this picture of her stuffed animal Cinder and the new one Whitney gave her for Christmas (Tundra). Not too shabby.
Michelle gave me a cute new scarf, Anne of Green Gables dvd (I've never seen it!) and a book I wanted (plus a J magnet she forgot to give me a long time ago).
I gave Michelle 2 shirts and a skirt.
Landon gave Lucas $20 and Lucas gave Landon an itunes gift card...both were delighted.
After writing several thank-you notes I spent the rest of the day working on photo-cube ornaments. These are our family's favorite ornaments, but I'm 3 years behind on them so I started with 2012 and will have to work my way back.
There's painting, the punching and the Mod Podging of the photos, the drying and then a top coat of Mod Podge involved so though it isn't difficult it's kind of time consuming.
Some almost-finished blocks.
Michelle was a thank-you note writing machine and got a ton done.

Coke Zero with lime is heaven in a cup.
Those ornaments are awesome. I could copy that idea.
ah, creative friday always looks so delightful to me. i have so many thank yous to write. it's overwhelming.
your boys are growing up. it must be crazy to see them get so tall.
have a good day!
I am just loving those scriptures "made easier" books and I can't believe you have never seen the Anne of Green Gables movie?!? Have you read the books? If you have the first movie is good, but then they try to combine more than one book into the second movie and it is frustrating for book lovers.
Here comes the freakish memory...Michelle got new tree ornaments. They used to be the sugared fruit! Haha. How can I put this skill to good use...
I hate having to catch up on projects I'm behind on, so I think it's commendable that you're catching up on the photo cubes, even if they are a favorite.
Michelle gave you a great book. I have been wanting to get my hands on one. Ever since I borrowed one from from a friend to help with a lesson I was teaching in primary. You can't go wrong with Anne of Green Gables.
You haven't seen Anne of Green Gables? I think that's a crime. We love them.
Those blocks are a really cute idea, my girls would go crazy making them.
It's good to see a picture of Michelle! It's been so long.
I just love your CFs. So much. I wonder what I'd work on if I had a CF. Probably this week it would be addressing late New Year's cards.
I always love hearing about Creative Fridays--glad you got one in there! Your photo blocks are darling, and so fun to see the presents you gave each other. I want to check out the scriptures made easier books.
