A Hopeful Diva Dare

Hi friends!  Happy Christmas Eve!  This holiday season has flown by for me.  Not a minute to spare any day of the week.  The boys are climbing the walls, scaling the furniture and generally showing me just how old I am every waking moment (and that's a lot of moments).  A 30 second bathroom break usually means that every pot in the house is pulled out of the cupboards, while someone has scaled the baby gate and lined up all the snacks in front of it so they can "hide" on the second pantry shelf.  Never a dull moment!  But they're pretty cute, and it's pretty hard to stay upset with these adorable little grins, don't ya think?

Anyhow, that's what I've been up to.  Raising little people is hard work.  Speaking of work, I'm over on the Verve Blog today with my take on this month's Playing Favorites Diva Dare. Head on over there for my write-up about this card and a question & answer session about my crafting faves.

Too precious! Love how big those smiles are! Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas! So funny you mentioned feeling your age because I am feeling mine and then some; nieces and nephews were over for a week and keeping up with those 6 teenagers totally wore me out more than my own boys do...but it was totally worth it. Happy New Year to you!
