A new year

and a new me. That’s what we all say, right? This year seems to be off to a great start. It’s 10 am, and I’m sitting here while the kids are cozied up with the dog and watching a movie. Mike’s off at work making sure everything’s going to be okay for the freezing temps tonight. I think when he comes home we’re heading down to my hometown for some traditional New Year’s Day stuff. Playing Scrabble, hanging out. . . pretty much what we did last night. Or maybe we’ll just stay here. Who knows. One of the things I want to work on this year is having more unscheduled time. We’ll see how that goes!

Well, here’s how it’s gone *so* far. It’s now almost noon, and I did go shower and put on some okay-to-go-out-in-public clothes, and then came back here to check on the Color Challenge. It made me thing of this new paper I picked up at my local scrapbook store the other day, so of course, I had to do it! Looks like maybe we won’t be going anywhere today after all!

    This is so cute!! Being the selfish person that I am, I always prefer you staying in your stamp room rather than doing things with friends and family…! 😉 Happy New Year Jenn, hope 2008 is good to you!

    Gorgeous card! I just went and checked out today’s challenge myself.
    We had a quiet evening. The kids played and I worked ahead on some blog entries.
    Today I was woken up at 9:30 a.m. by a call from Rick. He made it allright but still hasn’t slept more then 3 hours since he left on the 30th. Poor guy!
    Happy New Year sweet friend! Hugs and smiles

    like your card and i’m wondering if you’ve had a chance to work with the flowers that go with the centers you stamped at the bottom of your card. can’t get those in the center of the flowers to save my life, and don’t own the stampamajig. any suggestions?
