This is a page about how my son,
Alexander, entertains himself with his
stuffed puppy. The puppy's name is Gallobs. Alexander plays with Gallobs
every single day and he sleeps with Gallobs every single night. We would be
in serious trouble if something ever happened to Gallobs!
Journaling: Gallobs is my
puppy. He likes to bite old mans. You and
Gallobs have become inseparable. He sleeps with you every single night.

The
Story of Christmas Bingo |
Yes, my husband's family plays bingo at
Christmas time. And it's very entertaining. Do you have a weird family
tradition? If so, you should definitely scrap it. CS: Bazzill Basics PP: My Mind's Eye Mask: Heidi Swapp Ink: Brilliance Flowers: Prima Marketing Pen: Pilot Font: Futura |

What
Makes Me Laugh? |
Audrey is most certainly very entertaining,
at the holidays or at any other time of year. I caught her trying to mess with
the ornaments on the tree. But even though she saw me, she didn't abandon her
mission! One technical note: usually holiday photos are so full of color, but
these were not great photos. So I converted them to b&w and used colorful
paper instead. CS: Bazzill Basics PP: Ki Memories (Love, Elsie) Letters: American Crafts Chipboard: Urban Lily Pen: Pilot

I always take pictures at fun outings
like this, but for some reason, I rarely end up scrapping them. With the
theme "entertain" this month, I was inspired to pull out these
pictures from one of our favorite family outings this year.
