Get Well Card

Outside: Inside:

A friend of mine has been going through some rough health issues this week and since laughter is the best medicine I came up with this somewhat immature and silly card. I am hoping this will make him laugh.

One Little Word Title Page: Positive

Getting My Mojo Back

It has been far too long since I have done anything remotely creative and decided today to change that. I was catching up on my back log of Paperclipping Roundtable episodes and heard about Ali Edward's class One Little Word. It spoke to me. I already had a word in my head, something I had been ignoring, something that I need to focus on, something that can lead to great change in all aspects of my life-- my word for the year is POSITIVE! I am going to be a glass half full girl! I am committed to being very open-minded as I take this year long journey and looking forward to what may come out of it.

Where is my Cricut?

Can you find my Cricut in this mess? Moving has completely disrupted my routine and put my scrapping on a temporary hold. However, I am so very excited because I will be getting my own scrap room! I finally have a space where I can be as messy as I want and simply close the door to hide it. No more packing up mid-project and losing momentum. Right now everything is in boxes. I had the best of intentions of getting this room set up first, but then realized we need a functioning kitchen and unpacking the dishes took priority. Here is a picture of my room "before" and I'll post an "after" once it gets set up.

Blizzard of 2010

Our car.. somewhere under there..

December has been the fastest, craziest month ever and just went I thought it couldn't get any crazier - *BAM* *POW* *POP* BLIZZARD!!! And normally I would be so thrilled to enjoy a bonus day off from work and lots of hot chocolate with my hubby, but today was the day we were scheduled to move into our first house!! We have been waiting so long for this day and now we wait a little longer. This is going to make for some sweet scrapbook pages once we are finally settled in. Another reason why my December posts have been light. Everything has been packed away in preparation for the move. In the meantime, I wanted to make sure I documented a few photos from today. Estimating ~17 inches with the wind continuing to howl. Looking forward to getting home.. hopefully we don't have to wait to much longer!

December (6th) Daily

I am not sure I am going to post every page in my December Daily album so don't be surprised if I skip around a bit. It is Day 6 already! Today's page is my Target page. My husband has this tradition where every year he gets me a gift card for my stocking. I love to see which design he chooses. These are 2 of my favorites from past years. The paper is part of the Paper Trey Ink Men of Life collection. Such a perfect fit.

December Daily 2010 Cover

December 1

This year I am completely swept up in the excitement of Ali Edwards December Daily project. I love the idea of capturing the month of December which always seems to pass us by far too quickly. This album is such a great way to slow down time and savor all that is good and beautiful about this time of year. I'll share a secret - I don't exactly have all of my foundation pages done, but I am going to go with the flow and hopefully be able to complete a full album. There are so many exciting events happening this month and I want to get in each and every detail.

Here is a sneak peak at my cover and Day 1. Day 1 is an envelope and inside is a copy of this year's Christmas card.
