Reflections.... resolutions....


I cannot believe that 2010 is here already, I seriously wonder what happened to the last decade, I can clearly remember the running up to 2000, I was in IT at the time, so it was mayhem, trying to prepare for what they called the millennium bug

In a way I am glad its all over, it was a sad time for our family with great loss. Mommy, Mike, Dad, Great Gran, Aunty Peggy, Aunty June, Aunty Maureen, Uncle Gus, you will always be with us in our hearts!

There were also loads of good times too. Loads of life changing moments.

I am truly blessed to have a wonderful hubby, beautiful kids. And fantastic friends!!!

This year I resolve to just enjoy life, enjoy the moments. I am not going to be negative, I am going to make the best of my job and what it brings because that is a blessing too.

I resolve to craft more too, and not worry about house work as much as I do. I resolve to keep in contact with all my special friends.

I resolve to not be so hard on myself all the time.

I will enjoy, and I will scrap these thoughts too, because it’s important.

Well on the crafting side, what can I say, I have been published, yeah, now I can say I have done that too. I was asked two months ago to do the Budget Challenge for the December issue of the Scrapbook Magazine.
This is what I came up with, the one thing I did realise is scrapping on a budget is possible however not easy because the cost of a layout adds up very quickly.
