Hi Everyone…

It is Kimberly here with you today.  So, I have a funny story to share with you.  Yesterday, my daughter Megan and I went out to buy Mackenzie a new bed.  She had bunk beds in her room, and as a 5’10” 14 year old girl – she had outgrown them.  So, yesterday we were on a mission.  We found and bought an awesome bed.  Then we went to purchase a box spring to go with it.  When we got home, I was so glad to have this marked of my list of things to do, and Mackenzie was thrilled to be getting a new bed.  Then the joy turned to frustration as we began to put the bed together.  The footboard was damaged and the box spring they gave me was an extra long – so it didn’t fit the bed.  Argh!!!!  Disappointing for Mackenzie and maddening for me – because now I have to go back out and fix it all today.  Hopefully today will end better than yesterday did.  Tonight I plan on having Mackenzie being tucked away and sleeping in a perfect new bed.  :D  haha…  I am choosing not to have this be a foreshadow of my 2013.  haha…

On a more positive note…  I have an awesome holiday layout to share with you that was created by our talented, Cindy Stevens using our festive November 2012 Hip Kit.  Cindy’s layouts always have such great texture and dimension.  I love how she layered Enamel Dots and buttons…  so clever.  :D  I also love how she combined different alphabet to create her title.  Using both uppercase and lowercase Thickers along with the mini alphabet stickers gives her title a bit of whimsy.

Cindy hid her journaling on a tag that she tucked away behind her photos.  This is an excellent way to be able to include a longer story and more details about your pictures.

Thanks so much for visiting today.  Make sure to stop by again tomorrow to see our next collection of projects created with our November Hip Kit.  We will begin posting projects created with our amazing December Hip Kit this weekend.  Also, our January Hip Kit will debut on Monday morning…  so you will want to keep an eye out for that as well.  Have a great day – xo – Kimberly
