You color my world

Zoe and Amelie got what seems to be a million and ten coloring books,paint sets,and craft supplies for Christmas. This post really has no major purpose other than, Zoe was sitting at the table the other day painting and she looked so very colorful compared to the dark grey winter day. She had just been outfitted with her share of cute little temporary tattoos, and my cousin just left a gift of silly bands at our sleeping door, which Zoe promptly put on her already art adorned arm.

It just seemed so magical...a true 5 year old moment...paints,bracelets,temporary tattoos,owl pjs...the good life!

So this post is for my Zoe bear! Thank you little lady,you bring so much color to our world!!!

So like many parents without babysitters or spouses that work odd shifts , we spent our NYE at home. Kevin had o go to work later in the night . So I decided to have a "party" with Zoe and Amelie . I set up a "photobooth" got a bunch of silly props, had balloons, snacks,noisemakers, etc. We had a blast.....

so much fun!!!

Strange love lol

Zoe and Amelie wore their dressiest dress up clothes!

Zoe also decided to go with her wild "my mom really did brush my hair,but i messed it up look"

My two best friends <3

Big glittery mess of pretty!
So I know I've been slacking on the blog toward the end of last year, but life happens,it is'nt always perfect and it gets insanely busy,so I took a bit of a blogging break. But I sill kept up with all my lovely blogs that I find inspirational and they truly lifted my spirit through rough times. My goal in 2011 for "Little A.Korn" is to bring it to great new heights! I have many ideas in mind that are in the works for expanding the blog,gaining more loyal followers and selling my brand. I look forward to a new year of dreams becoming reality, with my family by my side.
So, happy,

from our family,

Christmas Craft Space

So, after my review board meeting Friday at school I will officaily be done with my first magical semester at art school &hearts Naturally the first space I decided needed cleaning in my tornado ravished of a home was my craft space...) heres a peek at some cute corners of where I like to create :)

Shelf of cute stuff. (the music box was given to me when I lived in California as a child by my aunt Pat, I love it to pieces!) :)

Pretty wire tree.

Feathers on my pretty pink tree <3


Im so happy to have my little space all fun and fancy! This semester it looked like a war zone with books, papers, paints, etc thrown all about. Im sure it wont stay this pretty with two little kiddos running about that like pretty shiny things just as much as their mommy, but it's enough for now to spark my creativity.

House building the new fangeled way...

So for the past few years we have had gingerbread house building time, when the Christmas season begins. However, this year, my December has been full of getting last minute assignments ready,and studying like a mad woman for the last few weeks of this semester. So, I was pleased when I found a foam gingerbread house making kit at the store! Last year, my sahm self would scoff at the idea, but this year, my sleep deprived, coffee drivin, student mommy self said "hey thats a BRILLIANT idea!!" So, judge me not :( Zoe and Amelie got a thrill out of sticking the shiny foam dots all about the house

(as soon as dear ol mom figured out how to put it together properly) (some things never change..I usually have a miserable time trying to get the gingerbread panels to stick together too?!)

(and yes Amelie added all those bows to her hair ALL by herself oh me!)And the result, was a pretty pink inspired gingerbread house of sorts(that little ones are unable to pry candies from and eat in secret in their rooms) leaving parents to wonder "where'd all the gum drops go on the gingerbread house?!"

School is coming to an end,and we are getting back into the groove of making things for fun, not for deadlines or grades,and things are starting to resemble some normalcy *knock on wood* because these last few months have truly tested us to no end.
I hope everyone is having a warm, safe,Christmas-y weekend with lots of cookies and coa coa and hugs and kisses...oh a a little shopping too!!
