scrappy holiday

we were off from work early for the christmas holidays. there was no work already from december 23 until january 4. just actually returned to work last monday. that was almost 2 weeks off.

of course it was a busy season with some last minute shopping and preparations for christmas and new year. not that i shopped a lot nor did i devote a ton of time for the preparations. lol! still it was fun being away from work for a bit more time and there was no need to wake up very early in the morning.

what added to the excitement of the long holidays was more time to scrap for me! woohoo! it was a very productive 2-week vacation. i was able to do 8 layouts and 1 little project. that's a mean feat considering that i tend to take 3 days at a time to finish one layout.

i do hope i'm able to continue churning out more layouts. i still have tons of scrappy backlog and i don't even know if i'll be able to catch up with any of them soon. lol!

i'm sharing here 2 of the layouts i finished. these were made from the christmas magic kit at a walk down memory lane.
