Two Christmas 2007 layouts & trying to get organized

It's been a really busy week with school, dance, band practices, doctor and orthodontist appointments and Mark has been out of town for several days too. Here are the two layouts I managed this week- they are both from Christmas last year. I need to get layouts ready to take to the copy shop next week, so I've been trying to fill in a few more holes in the timeline.

journaling: It’s become one of our holiday traditions to visit Santa Claus and his reindeer-in-training, Carrots and Mittens, when we go to the Electric Safari at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. There is usually a line to wait in to see Santa, but we have fun singing carols with each other to pass the time. Other people will sometimes join in the singing with us too. Each visit with Santa ends with getting a candy cane to enjoy during the rest of the tour around the zoo.

I've also been really busy with some hybrid projects, one of which I can't show off until January. while I was out looking for supplies for the first project I saw this 4x6 binder made with 4x6 index cards and thought it would make a cute little organizer for keeping in the car.
It turned into this:

and I just put these in my store at Scrapdish.

Ok, off to finish up that secret project before I have to go get Brenna from school. Tomorrow is the Christmas Lights parade downtown, so thankfully all of the marching band practices will be done after that. The twins have several holiday dance performances to do yet, but thankfully none are this weekend while we are doing all of the band stuff.
