Landon and I went to Michelle's house for Creative Friday on December 27th. Landon hadn't been over there in months, so it was nice to go together again. We took this photo at a stoplight and the glare makes it look like I have blue teeth!
I splurged and got Los Hermanos take out for our lunch!
These lovely homemade candlesticks from Jessie's husband Timm were on Michelle's table instead of the green apples.
It was very exciting to be receiving lovely gifts from both Michelle and her mom!
Michelle gave me this cute and comfy pajamas (which I'm wearning now as I type this) and an awesome kit with notebook paper gift bags, matching Washi tape, baker's twine and tags! I love it!! Michelle's mom Susan gave me some awesome notebook paper gift tags, Christmas napkins, alphabet masking tape (very cool) and a decorative bird nesting on shredded book pages. It was delightful! (Sadly I forgot my real camera so these are all photos from my phone and aren't great.)
These are the gifts I gave Michelle.
A gift certificate for a pedicure, some cloud socks and a bag of Cadbury Eggs.
And the world's cutest door mat! She had a similar one on her Amazon Wish List but it was no longer available and this was almost exactly like it. It's painfully cute really, especially with her turquoise door.
The boys played games in the family room and sound like men now, which is weird.
Michelle wrote thank you notes and I cut out a ton of tags I'd had printed...I will be prepared for next Christmas' tag needs for sure.
Pleasing no? These are all designs I downloaded from Pinterest for free.
The boys ended up coming over to the table to work on a puzzle Michelle had started the day before.
Max was home from BYU for Christmas Break!
Landon and Lucas exchanged presents...earbuds for Landon and a Cold Stone gift card for Lucas.
Lando's card to Lucas.
I wrote 8 thank you notes.
Lucas ended up leaving to go out with friends because we thought we would be going home soon, but we ended up staying another 3 hours because we got sucked into the puzzle!
We finished it (mostly they did, but I did a bit at the end).

Love the Cadbury Egg tradition and how they pop up often in Creative Friday pics.
That chevron wrap is the cutest ever. I have liked chevron forever and am now bummed that it's so popular. (I know, that makes no sense.)
Great tags! Luci is always telling me I am missing out by not getting on Pinterest.
Lucas looks so much like Mark!
Those gift tags are so so cute.
I need to find a new welcome mat. That one I love! I've had the same one since we moved here.
1. i love the gift tags! cute packaging makes all the difference.
2. i have a lame, faded target welcome mat. time for a new one.
3. i like puzzles but hardly ever do them. that stamp one is pretty cool.
4. CF makes me happy. and those log candles are pretty cool!
Those tags are a whole lot of happiness... And the cute gift wrap is making me jealous... And the bark candles are AMAZING... I love that you stayed 3 more hours for a puzzle! So funny. Happy Creative Friday.
You brought back the questions!
The tags are so cute. Pinterest printables are my favorite. I'm always in awe of the time and effort you guys put into wrapping. It's incredible and every package so pretty.
Cutest welcome mat ever. Great present!
I love this post for so many reasons! The gifts! Those boys are all grown up?!
Those candle holders- Tim~ WOW!
Yes the door mat is darling with her door- mine is just black & utilitarian.
Looking at the picture of lunch- now I'm hungry.
You are so smart to make these tags now & next Christmas you will be so happy with yourself.
This friendship brings me so much joy. Is that weird?
I'm not a puzzle man, but I sure love having people sit and do one in my presence. I am always certain that the one piece I am looking for does not exist.
What a cute welcome mat and door.
I do love tags. Your stash is cute.
I cannot believe the boys are so grown up. As grown up as Max is, he still sits in the computer chair on Creative Fridays the way he has for as long as I've been reading your posts!
1. I love cute gift tags. Most of the time I am rushing to get things wrapped and then the tag gets to be generic. Time to slow down, Cathy, and make some nice tags!
2. Welcome mat by IKEA. We are a little limited on choice here. We haven't found the door mat souk (marketplace) yet.
3. I LOVE PUZZLES!!! Haven't done that in years, either. Time to slow down and put together a puzzle, Cathy!
I love seeing the Creative Fridays. It is very inspiring. Tell Michelle I said hi. :)
