Today is going sssoooooooo slow......Not that I'm going anywhere but I'm on holidays from 4pm today......yee ha....I have a full week to annoy Glenn and the girls.....they are sssooooooo going to love that....

I only made a few New Years Resolutions this year.....
1 Exercise more.....this one i know i will keep.....
2 Scrapbook more for me.....not just because i have to....
3 Be a better blogger.......check back in a week to see the changes.....
4 Be a better friend

You may think that last one is a bit strange, but i have a friend who has 5 children and i have only met 3 of them....yep that's right....we send each other Christmas cards every year, well to be honest she always sends me one and i always forget to reply but this year i did send her one....and you want to know the sad thing......she only lives 20 mins from me.....
2009 is off to a great start for me already. I hope that if you did make any resolutions or just made goals to work towards, i hope all goes well.....

Here are a couple of projects i want to share.

This desk Calender was inspired by a workshop i did with Lynette Carol from K & Co just before Christmas.

This is also another Calender, this was my 2008 Masters Entry that for those of you who know me would know i stuffed up, when i sent the entry in i left out a layout which made it null and void.....always this year....

And last but not least.....................

I finally did it.....I Joined Stampin Up.....

I was introduced to Stampin Up mid to late last year and just fell in love with it....I can see myself doing this for a very long time. If you think Scrapbooking is addictive.... well you should try Stampin up... I couldn't hold of any longer. The benefits of joining we just amazing....I look forward to my year ahead and plan to share some of my card designs very soon...

Gee this post seemed to take me forever to do....It's nearly time for me to close up shop so i'm of for now. I've raided the shop with loads of layouts in mind and i really hope i get to do plenty next week.....

Have a great week ahead

Speaking of Lateisha......She got her Learners Permit last week.......so in other words, if you life in my area.....stay of the roads......haha nah she isn't to bad....we have been letting her drive the automatic just so she can get some confidence on the road and then we will get her a few driving lessons......but i must say I am pleased she got it.....on her 3rd go....
We had a great Christmas. this year was at Mat and Joannes and they day was really nice. Joanne like me likes to make a fuss and the table decorations we wonderful...I already have my thinking cap on for next year for our turn... I love this photo.....one because i don't have a lot of the four of us together ....and two cause i think it's funny.....I'm the only one standing up straight....how nice of the girls to make me feel tall....haha
