craft mania, new years and resolutions

I've been trying to get some things checked off my craft list that have been hanging over my head

1. finishing my Christmas photo card album-which you will note I put the wrong date on the cover. SHOCKING!

2- making the title page to my project life album

3. I finished my project life 2011 and sent it to be printed.

done, done and done.

next up. finishing the 2010 december daily.  geting there.  I picked it up again this evening.I just WANT IT DONE.

For new years eve, I found these cute printables on line.

This kids filled them out to variying degrees. I will keep them in a secure location (meaning I won't forget where I put them) and hand them out next new year's eve. I set them on the kids table, at each place setting.

Us adults didn't have any on our table.  Apparently our resolution was to get through 8 bottles of wine.  Uh, there were six of us.  You do the math. 

the girls and I made some gluten free cupcakes, our favorite gluten filled salted fudge brownies and some cheater cranberry bliss bars from starbucks.  If you haven't tried those yet, you should.

 

Resolutions:

Gracie has been home the last two days.  sick. sick. sick.  poor thing.  She stayed with my dad this morning while I went to work.  When we got home, we played an exciting game of SORRY.  Being one to multi task, I whipped out my foot file and went to town while playing.  Gracie asked why I was doing such a thing and then she answered her own question.  "OH because you have lizard skin."  Gee, thanks honey.  I told her it was my new years resolution to keep my heels baby soft. We'll see how long that lasts. 

resolution 2- participate in a sprint triathalon

resolution 3- finish a craft once I start it

I'd also like to be more organized, forget less, bake more, cook more, craft more and find a way to fit hot yoga into my workout routine.  

for now, I think I'll just start with keep my heels as soft as a baby's bottom. 

someone get the belt sander...

 

dd 13:christmas card

they finally came in the mail!  

it's funny how the simplest things can make a heart happy

the 2010 christmas cards we received.  i had put them together last week but had a few to add and i needed a cover.  while i was shuffling through my december daily materials i came across this vintage post card that i had purchased earlier this season.  um... PERFECT, no?

i'm truly sorry though, if my hole punch went straight through your child's eye.  these things happen.

and if you didn't receive a card from me, it's due to one of the following reasons 1) i had the wrong address, 2) i just don't like you so why do you continue to read my blog? 3) i didn't have your address OR got it after the christmas and at that point was so done with it all there was no way i was going to make another mess sending out more christmas cards 4)it was sent back because your post office said it needed more postage even though 95% of my cards did not get returned.  your post office is just special. 5) OR i just forgot to send you one. 

really i was joking about reason 2.  kind of.

one craft down.  just december daily, disneyland blog recap and finishing 2010 365 project to go. will not be doing another year of that by the way.  it got to the point where when i finally journaled about some of my photos, i had NO idea why i had taken them.  shocking, right? and i don't need a year's worth of random photos about my mixing bowls or running shoes or vitamins.  it was good for a year, but i don't feel the need to revisit it.  although i may cave and do the "month at a glance" that sounds more do-able.

you can go to becky higgins' blog to find out more about project life.  it's a really great way to document your life without having to be a scrap booker.
