Holiday Bash Fun!

Happy TGI-Holiday-Friday to you!!!  I hope you are having a wonderful holiday month so far.  The family & I are off to National Harbor and Washington, DC for the weekend.  We are staying at the Gaylord Resort in National Harbor and will be seeing the Dreamworks ICE show “Shrek the Halls”…it’s a family tradition for us to go every year and its FANTASTIC!  If you’ve never been (its in Nashville, DC & Florida) you should make a trip sometime….sculptors from China come over & carve and color ice into life size sculptures that are out-of-this-world amazing.  And yes its VERY COLD inside of there…you wear these lovely gigantic blue coats that make you look very large LOL.  I will have lots of pics next week for ya hee hee.  And then we always eat at “Ketchup” restaurant at the harbor…they have these awesome fries that come with all kinds of different ketchups, yummo-licious!

We are staying at the Gaylord and they have movies in the indoor pool and they are showing Elf tonight…so yes the Dean’s will be there hahahahaha! (My FAVE holiday movie)  We got two adjoining rooms since the kids are now TEENs and my son does NOT fit on a rollaway bed anymore LOL.  Then Saturday we will do some sight-seeing and shopping and head over to DC to see the Nat’l Christmas tree. Hopefully its not as cold as it was last year…brrrr!  On Sunday we have endzone tickets to the Redskins vs. Ravens game….so yes I WILL be on TV and I WILL high-five RGIII when he comes out LOL…watch for the crazy lady in the endzone Smile  We are a ‘Skins fan first (minus Alexa who is Ravens fan only) and then the Ravens are our 2nd team…so this is going to be a tough game but a good one!  Praying for no rain or super-cold temps but I have hand warmers…a whole box…and I shall stuff them in every pocket and in my boots hahahaha!  So a fun holiday weekend for sure and YES I will be posting lots of pics on Facebook while I’m gone…I cannot help myself LOL!.  We got all but one of the trees up so I will definitely share pics of them all next week…I only did 10 of the 12 this year…my body ran out of steam so I will finish my white tree in basement and be done.

My Holiday Bash Project!

I am the start of the CMC Holiday Bash Blog Hopfull hop list is HERE along with all the challenge details and prizes and such!  Leave a comment on each blog along the way to be entered for some fabulous prizes too!


I used this super sweet “Christmas Tilda with Cat” from the Little Christmas Collection at Magnolia-licious!  We now have 6 cats (yes we adopted Winston lol) and 2 dogs so I love any image that has a cute animal in it!  The CMC Challenge is to add METALLIC accents to your Holiday cards/projects…so you can color metallic colors and/or add them with products & embellies.  I colored my sign in silver colors and then added Stickles for a fun metallic look!


My papers are older from a few years ago (DoveCraft) but I love them…love the non-traditional colors…and love hot pink and black together too!  I distressed my papers with my fave Zutter Distress Machine.  I used some fun plastic-glittery snowflake embellies and buttons to add some wintery fun to the image.  On her fuzzy-furry trim on her dress I used white Sparkly Fluff which I LOVE..just put some tacky glue down and sprinkle this stuff on…fun & fabulous!  Some rhinestones and a pretty bow finish it off nicely!
