Goodbye 2007

Hello 2008!
With the new year brings New Years resolutions. I always say I will..., but I rarely hold true to them. Last year I said I would scrap more, and that I did. I took three different weekends away with friends and got quite a few pages completed. The last scrap trip was with The Scrappery. It was the perfect weekend for scarpping, as it was cold and wet. Although, I think I ate more than I scrapped. The food was so good, I can't wait for the next retreat.

I have made many new scrapping friends this year, the Gals at the Scrappery, my 2 Peas Pixies friends and just other people along the way. In fact, just last night I was scrapping with my favorite scrappin' friends. Six hours sure goes by fast. I can hardly wait to get together again. I do hope that in the next few days I can manage to drag out all my stuff and get creative. I think last year's goal was a page a week. Well I managed to create at least 52 pages this year. So, I will say I met my goal.

What are your scrapping goals this year?

Scrappy New Year

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays to all my friends. Saturday was a wonderful day. We had so many close friends and their families present. Who would have thought that I could get over 45 people in our home. I do wish I had been able to chat longer with each and every person.

The last few days have been quite hectic with all of the hustle and bustle of preparing for Santa's big visit. So many last minute things to be done, gifts to buy, gifts to wrap and then there is the coordinating of gifts to be exchanged. I do love this time of year and all the hectic frenzy it brings.

Christmas Eve is something my family looks forward to. Each year we go out for a nice dinner and then a movie. It helps to pass the time. Usually finding a good movie is easy. This year however the jury is still out. The kids want to see Alvin and the Chipmunks, I prefer to see National Treasure or The Golden Compass. In the past, we have seen, The Polar Express, The Pursuit of Happiness, The Lion,the Witch and the Wardrobe, and my favorite, Monster's Inc. I guess dad will have to make the final decision. As long as we are all together, it really doesn't matter.

So again, happy holidays to all my friends. May your holidays be filled with love, happiness and cheer.
