I can't believe it is December. Where has the year gone? When I look back I guess we accomplished a lot, weathered trails, experienced life and hopefully learned a few things along the way. But I could use a couple more months before ushering out 2008.
I love December though...it's my birth month, my dad's birth month and Christmas time has always been a favorite. Now I can share all of that with my daughter! We drove around looking at lights together tonight and it brought back s many memories of times with my family when I was growing up. My mom was always ready for a drive in the car and we enjoyed many a well decorated house together.
On the scrapping front I got some exciting news on Monday. I will be published for the first time in the 12/6 issue of Scrapbook News and Review e-zine. To say I was excited when I got the email would be a gross understatement. :) And they chose one of my favorite layouts featuring Grammy's Pugs, Donatello, Ralphy and Suzy Q. Make sure to check out their website and subscribe to this fantastic e-zine!
Christmas will be full of homemade gifts this year and I am elbow deep in ornaments, altered items and trying to squeeze out a few layouts as well. My Christmas shopping has been pretty limited so far but I did get a bit done today and hope to finish things up this weekend. My tree needs to come in from the garage and I am going to have a second tree for the first time this year. I am pondering the decorating scheme but haven't decided what to do yet. So much to do...so little time!
May the peace and joy of the season be with all of you!
