Be Here on January 8th

It's Coming...

Join me here on January 8th for the Be My Valentine Blog Hop. There are a ton of talented ladies on this hop and it is going to be so much fun!!


** THIS IS A STICKY POST...PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR TODAY'S MOST CURRENT POST

Rock On!

This year one of my resolutions is to make a card for all of our immediate family members and some close friends and send them. The first birthday is actually my father-in-law's.  He is young at heart and has always been very into music, so when I saw the Fox on the new Birthday Bash cartridge I knew it was perfect!

It is a pretty simple card, but I think it turned out great!

The next one is my husbands, but I won't post that one, since he reads my posts (I will after his birthday).

An Announcement

And now, I can finally announce...

Are

You

Ready??

Here

It

Is...

I have been chosen to be a part of the Cooking with Cricut Design Team!! I am so excited. This is such a group of talented ladies and Melinda is so, so, so talented! Her Digital Stamps are amazing and I can't wait to use them along with my Cricut.

For our first project we had to make something with a Snow theme. The first real snow that we had here in Michigan my kids, as you may assume, had to go outside and play. To my surprise they actually stayed out there quite a while and even made a snowman all by themselves. So, I made this layout for the pictures that I took of them and their snowman...

Organization Challenge

So if you read my previous post I decided to join the Organizational Challenge over at Scrappily Ever After. If you missed my post, either go HERE to check it out, or go straight to Scrappily Organizational Boot Camp. The 1st and 2nd goals are already posted, but you can jump right on in!

The 1st Challenge was just to post our messes rooms. So, VERY BRAVELY I am posting mine. The drywall and everything needs to be finished, but we've had a lot going on, so that might not be done till summer. The space still works for me, but it's a mess!



Hope that you join me!!

Goals for 2011

Since I will have more time to do what I love, since I won't be working outside the home, and hopefully I will be able to get everything under control and be less stressed, I wanted to actually post my creative goals for the New Year so that I can look back on them throughout the year and remind myself of the direction that I wanted to go for 2011. I might even add to it as the year goes on.

1. Start and Finish one scrapbook layout a week.

2. Make a homemade card for everyone in the family for their birthdays (and send them).

3. Make a Design Team.

4. Catch up Leah's scrapbook through her 3nd year.

5. Catch up Hayden's scrapbook though his 4th year.

6. Make a Heritage Scrapbook for my Mother-In-Law.

7. Use all of my cartridges at least once.

8. Publish posts at least every third day.

9. Organize my Scraproom

10.

Hope that everyone had a fabulous New Year and here is to an even more FABULOUS 2011!!

Boot Camp

If any of you are like me then your areas where you scrap, whether you have just a small spot that you have to take out as you create or you have a whole room to design in, are a mess after the holidays. So, I have decided to do Organizational Boot Camp over at Scrappily Ever After. It lasts 6 weeks and there are prizes. I really need this! And I'm sure there are a lot of you that do too. So, if you are thinking about joining us then go to either of the links and find out what it's all about. Here are the details. Hope to see many of you there! It starts Monday!

Craftin Away

Tonight should be a major crafting night. I have three projects that I need to get done. I have a birthday card that I need to make for my father-in-law, his birthday is in January and I want to get a head start on it; I am also designing the bulletin board at work one last time before the new year, because I won't be working there anymore, so I want them to have a nice board that can last them a little while; and I also have a surpise project that I am working on for next week...more information to come on that, so stay tuned! 

Also, stayed tuned for my Goals for 2011 that will be posted on the 1st!! I would love to hear what some of your goals for the New Year are, they don't have to be crafty, they can be anything.
