WITCH'S BREW

Awesome christmas

I hope you had a wonderful christmas. I had a great one!!!!!! Normally I can figure out what I am going to get, but not this year. I was completely shocked. I only mentioned to mom a few times that I wanted this specific item and gave her 2 choices of colors that I wanted. So what is it you ask?

Here is a hint.........It is Pink

Still don't know what it is here is another hint.......It has some silver on it.

Are you ready?.....

Are you sure?.....

?

Still not sure what it is? OH OK I will tell you what it is..........................

?

It is a KitchenAid mixer...WOOOOHOOOOOO.. Way to go mom, you did great!!!!!!!!

Now I can not wait to pretend to be Martha Stewart, Rachael Ray or Paula Deen and cook!!!!!!! What shall I make first? Hummmmmmmmmmmmm....

Ok off my happy & bragging train. Every year mom & dad always say it is going to be a light christmas. OH OK it gets bigger and bigger every year!!! Want proof take a gander at all the loot before the shitlins tore into the presents!!!

Hunter got a Wii and the few moments I played with it I have to have one!!!! Mary Grace got an outfit for herself and her doll from American girl. It is the cutest thing!

When I asked Hunter what he wanted for christmas, he told me he wanted a Fathead. So I am thinking to myself what the hell is a Fathead. Well let me tell you it is a $100 poster!!!! He wanted David Beckham or Dwayne Wade. OK I check out the Fathead website and you buy one at $100 and the second one for half price. So yes the little sweetie got both of them. I must say I would not mind having a David Beckham one. WOWZER he is some eye candy........So here is a picture of him with his Beckham Fathead....

Is that poster not YUMMY!!!!

It was a GREAT christmas. Everybody was pleased with all the gifts they got and it was extra special that my dad was here with us!!!

My cousin Jason got a miniature dachshund puppy that was the cutest thing I have seen in the longest time. It was so tiny!!! The puppy next to Salem made her look the size of a St. Bernard!!!!! Check the little guy out for yourself!

I believe that is enough for this post! I will take some pictures of my other loot and share with you!!!!

XOXO

2007 Christmas Cards

Wow 2 posts in one night!!! I made my cards this year and wow what a chore it turned out to make 50 of them!

I used green,cream & pink Bazzill cardstock. The patterened paper is from the Love Elsie Noel collection. The stamps are also from the Noel collection. I used Copic markers to color the images. YES I hand stamped,embossed and colored all of the images...

Goodies fit for a princess!!!!

My little princess had her birthday party yesterday, well aunt Cyndi opened her big mouth and said "I will make the cake and party favors" ya ummmm the party favors were easy, but the cake....Lets just say I went through 5 boxes of cake mix before I got the cake to cook correctly. I am definitely not Martha Stewart or Paula Deen...Here are the pictures of the cake....

Then I made these treat box party favors...........

But all the time and effort was well worth seeing the big smile on her sweet little face!!!!!!!

Feeling a bit festive!!!!

This year I found an upside down tree that I think is perfect for my off the wall personality. I love how it turned out. Brandon did most of the decorating of the tree or else it would have looked like a toddler did it.

I could never decide on a tree skirt, so I had this fabric and stuck it under the tree.

Greetings!!!!

I hope everyone had a nice thanksgiving. I know I did!! I ate way to much as usual, but oh well it only comes around once a year. I had alot to be thankful for this year. Number one is my family all together and healthy and my dad making a speedy recovery after our scare in August.

Friday was Mary Grace's 7th birthday, wow where does the time go. Wednesday night I took her and Hunter to the mall, so the little princess could Build A Bear or Build A Dog!!!! She built a pink and white poodle named Sally!! She dressed her in a diva style outfit. So with out further ado I would like to introduce Sally the newest member of the Ratcliffe family!

Hunter was such a good sport about it. He was very patient whilst Mary Grace picked,stuffed and dressed Sally. Had to snap this picture of his bored face!

They are the most amazing kids. I am so lucky to have them as a niece and nephew. Oh I guess I will give my sister and brother in law some praise for raising two wonderful children. ;-P

Ok so whilst I am at it, I may as well just be the bragging aunt and daughter, so here are some more pictures.

I saw the neatest picture technique using a picture frame. I tried it on the kiddos to see how it looked. It was freezing so they were quick snapshots. I did not have them standing in proper light but they still turned out cute.
