Out with the old

Thank God its a fresh new year, brand spanking new! The possibilities loom out in front a clean slate so to speak. Last year was not a bad one it was just a busy one. I was overwhelmed with "things to do". We bought a new house and moved within the space of 3 months, I started back at my OLD job after quitting back in August of 2005, our car died we bought a new one etc, etc, etc, plus trying to be a good mom and wife, working, working on the new house making it ours and getting rid of horrid floral borders and such. Lets just say over all in all that I lost myself and I lost my creative spark.

So this new year is going to be more about me enjoying my family , my creative pursuits, it will be about saying NO to everyone that wants me to help them scrap THEIR albums etc. Selfish? Maybe so but I am so tired of going to a crop and being hounded to help with layouts or have all my stuff loant out and being used and then when I want it where is it? So I am going to learn to say NO! Plain and simple!

I managed to scrap yet another layout! WOOOHOOOOOOO! Two layouts in the space of less than 24 hours! The scrappers block is GONE. This one was for a sketch challenge over at Scraplovers for their new year crop I had a lot of fun doing it!It is of my sister and her kids taken this summer.
