All- Happy end of 2012 everyone! I have been loving and enjoying time with my family, but was sad to see my older brothers return back to their homes today! The house just is not the same without them! To keep myself busy, I have been thinking of and creating all sorts of projects. The first project was a full day of babysitting some super great and cute kiddos! We had tons of fun, and did just about everything! One of my favorite activities was homemade finger paint! We all combined forces to measure, mix, and create the finger paint. The paint called for 2 cups cold water to be mixed with 2 cups flour, split into different bowls and then add preferred food coloring! We had such a great time, even if we created a bit of a mess! :)

Today, I used one of my brand-new and super exciting Christmas gifts, a Cricut! I was so excited to unwrap it on Christmas morning and I was even more excited to be able to use it today! I used my new toy to help design and create a few pages in best friend's scrapbook! I created a scrapbook for her in 2007 and have tried to add a few pages with our updated pictures each year. I can't wait to give it to her and see her reaction!

Also my sister used part of today to finish cataloguing all of my children's books! Can ou say best sister ever?? I am so thankful for all her work, even though it looks like she got a little help from some friends! :)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Love, Miss Lockhart
