Happy New Year!
Let me just say, I'm so glad that 2012 is over. It was a pretty hard year. My plan is to make this year, 2013 one for the record books both personally and professionally. I started off the year by putting my Etsy shop in vacation mode. It's not that I don't love it anymore, I just haven't had to time I wanted to do things for me. I haven't scrapped in AGES!
So my first goal for 2013 is to scrap more. I have 2 albums that I need to do for others and my own layouts that need to get done. I didn't take many pictures this past year, because frankly we didn't do much.
My next goal is to add some scrapbook layouts to my Etsy shop. Still debating on whether to offer individual layouts or full books (20 layouts).
Another goal is to do more things, together, as a pseudo-family this year. As you all know the man-friend, his daughter, and I aren't legally the typical family. But we do all live in the same house, with the Queen B (the cat). I want to take a real vacation this year. Not just a weekend down to the Jersey Shore.
I want to meet up with some friends that I've recently reconnected with. One friend and I have known each other since we were 4. Went to the same preschool. It's rare to have friends that long. Another friend and I met when we were 9. That one is going to be a bit harder to actually meet up with, since she is in Oregon. With that said, I'd love to take a trip out to the West Coast.
I want to feel normal again this year. My ulcerative colitis kicked my butt this past year, but I'm ready to kick it's butt. I will not spend weeks upon weeks feeling ill.
What are some of your goals this year?
Stay crafty

1st Blogiversay Blog Hop
Hello and welcome to my first blogiversary blog hop. If you would have asked me a year ago if I would have thought my blog would still be thriving, I wouldn't have had high hopes. I was just a lonely crafter, gathering inspiration from around the internet through these crafty blogs. I've learned so much and have made many MANY new friends.
I've participated in other blog hops, but this will be the first that I am hosting. Each stop along the way has a "secret word" that you will need for a chance to win the prize. After you've hop to each stop, you will need to email me the answer to the "secret phrase". You have until 11:59PM EST on January 6th to enter to win. Winner will be announced on January 7th.
YOU HAVE TO EMAIL ME THE SECRET PHRASE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE PRIZE
Prize:
K&Co Smash Book & Accessories
THEME: NEW
Since we will be heading into the New Year, I asked each of the participants to make projects that include something "new". It can be a New Year's project, new baby, new car, new job....get the idea?
Here is my project:
I decided to do a layout for the New Year's Eve celebration that we always have. I used Sweethearts for the glasses and Don Juan for the font. The pattern paper came from my All Throughout the Year stack by Karen Foster Designs and is cut at 10 x 10. I used some silver curling ribbon to break the page up and some shine. The blue paper is from DCWV Mediterranean Cafe stack.
Thank you for stopping by, my secret word is: "What's". You next stop is Amy over at Scrap This Save That
