Porter's New Undertaking

So as you can see from my previous post (that was meant for Porter's Blog). Porter has decided she wants to be a "Famous Scrapbooker" and teach the world how to scrapbook. I doing so she asked me to create her a blogspot and has started with two crafty videos, one in which she had me assist and stated that she will be having guest assistants in her video. Now let me tell you this girl is 7 1/2 and has her mind wrapped around the fact that this is her new baby. And if Mommy can stay ahead of the curve, learning how to post on youtube and then post the youtube on the blog we should be doing good. Dad has already suggested a tripod for better image quality.... so this is a work in progress. Please stay tuned and leave her comments! That way she will know she is getting famous!

Her blog site is http://porterscrafts.blogspot .com

My Santa!!!

Well I talked Chris into (told) him he got to play Santa this year for Waxahachie Downtown Merchants Association, which The Crafty Scrapper is a BIG part of. But when you get down to brass tacks... I just wanted some pics of him as Santa so I could scrap! What can I say, there is a new SANTA wordbook out by Heart of Texas Studios that I was just dying to utilize!

So here you go...... this is moto Santa in all his wonderment!

My Girl is SOOO Crafty!

I don't think I could be in love with my kid any more........ then I come home while she is at Awana's and look what I find!






She is just learning to read.....1st grade and all.












And she picks up a craft book and just goes to town. She amazes me all the time. i can not tell you how precious it was for me to walk up on this site! My gal is truely awesome!!!! And she will be teaching everyone soon!

Happy Halloween!

Well Ya'll Happy Halloween!!!! Hope ya'll had a great one! Lots of good memories, too much candy and hopefully lots of good pics to scrap! The demented clown, the jr. sorceress and I had quite the grand day!!!





First we had the Fall party at school, MUCH sugar consumed!!!! Then to downtown Waxahachie for Trick or Treating, much candy gotten!!!




Then home for some pumpkin carving, face painting and more Trick or Treating!!!! Lots more candy gotten! Happy kids, worn out grown ups!!!! All in all a super successful day!

Hope ya'll got your SPOOKS in! Boo from the Grand Sorceress!!!

Happy Fall Ya'll!!

We have had a buzy week of fall festivities! Fall Festivals, town festivals, Halloween Crops and Scout Halloween Party!



Porter is loving being a Sorceress and can not wait until Halloween night for mommy and her to dress the same (picts to come)! All the while our Brownie troop leader held a kick bootie Halloween party for the scouts!








Honestly the girls had a blast and the decorations were fantabulous! Love the smoke!!!












This is a quick pic Chris snapped of me at dinner after Bob Phillips weekend in downtown Waxahachie. I am suprised I was still awake! We had over a 100 people through the door of the store. Many bewildered and betwixt; trying to figure out what magical land they stumbled across. Many got it!!!! Woo Hoo! others walked away not sure what door they had come into but were glad we had some comfie chairs and .50 cent sodas. All those outside were $3.00!
Anyhoo.... I am so excited about Halloween being here this week; I even went to the gym this morning!













And Porter read the entire Green Eggs and Ham to me at 9:00 at night. 62 pages of a totally happy Mom! Lovin having the tables turned!
Make it a scrappy day!
