Happy New Year.........

I know I'm a few weeks late with this post and greeting but sometimes life and reality just get in the way.

I hope you had a good one, it was quiet here, nice, we did the usual watch movie and munch marathon.

Happy Holidays.......

well I hope Santa was as good to everyone as he was to our household, the kids are thrilled with their new goodies and I am enjoying my new Computer monitor and all in one printer, the scanner makes scrapbooking life so much easier :)

Have you made any resolutions for 2008? I am full of good intention but I would really love to make a huge effort to lose those last 20 pounds, I started off good last year and lost gusto after awhile. I plan to make it stick this year and get the kids involved too, going for walks and things like that!

Here are some pics from Christmas morning, see you next year!

Happy 12th birthday......

to my eldest baby girl

Happy 5th birthday.........

to my baby girl, I honestly can't believe how fast time flies.

A place to call my own.......

it's still under minor construction, hanging trim and getting a new wiring system under the table but it's usuable and it's mine, I've been waiting 4 years for our basement to be finished so I could have this space, I have scrapped off my night table and glass mat for way too long, but when Dan bought his motorcycle this past summer I put my foot down that this room be done for Xmas. The rec room is coming along nicely and I will post pics of that down the road when all the furniture is down here from upstairs.

Be on the look out for some long overdue layouts very soon, I haven't scrapped anything other than commitments to Scrapbook Star and Valerie Salmon's Got Sketch blog, and I've missed doing it.

Changes........

well as some of you may know I am no longer JUST A SAHM ;), I have headed back to work part time, with the Bulk Barn, and after 6 days of training was promoted to supervisor, which I was quite proud of. I'm really enjoying working again, I didn't realize how much I have missed talking to adults other than family.

I had 2 publications come out this month, in Scrapbook and Cards Today's fall issue and Memory Makers Oct issue, which brings me up to 4 publications this year, 3 more than I had hoped for!! and on the Memory Makers one, it has 2 cover choices and my LO can be seen on one of them, it's small, but it's there!!! so cool.......

The kids are adjusted to school and Marissa just completed her babysitting course on the weekend so she is certified and ready to work, and has been doing a wonderful job for me here for the hour after school until Dan or I get home from work!

My photography is taking off as well, I had 2 clients this month which was wonderful, if you haven't checked it out yet you can see my work here

I hope all is well in your world :)

My baby is in Senior Kindergarten,,,,,,,

times flies much to quickly, it just isn't fair
