Goodbye 2012!

So I know that I said I was going to come back and post one more time before the end of the month and although this isn't exactly the post I had in mind.. this is it. I have a goal in the coming year to be a good blogger once again..at least posting more regularly and maybe (if I can find the time) share a few freebies by me. Definitely can share links to other designers' blogs and etc. for their awesome freebies because everyone loves those right?! LOL Anyways, here's to saying Goodbye to Twenty-12 and hoping that Twenty-13 will be a MUCH better year both for my blog and IRL (in real life). Have a safe and happy new year!! And as always... Happy Scrapping!! :)

Wow! I've been a bad blogger this past year. I see that now that we're coming up on the end of the year. One of my online goal for 2013 is to get back into blogging on a regular basis and share more of my creations. Twenty Twelve has been a LONG and very trying year for my family and I. Here's to hoping that 2013 is MUCH better. Ok, so now that it's been three months since I shared any ramblings or layouts with you, I've decided to pick only my Top Favorite layouts from each month to share with full credits. Layout 1: Happy Halloween (October)

I'm BAAaaack :)

Hello again friends. OMGosh, I have been SO very bad at my blogging again. It's been like F O R E V E R since I've wrote (Sorry). Before I get to sharing my life & layouts I want to say that today is September 11, 2012... Please take a moment and say a prayer for all the families and our nation that has lost loved ones just 11 years ago on September 11, 2001 when the terrorist attacked our country. Well, lots has changed again..here's the short of it. I got laid off again. I'm enjoying my time off though...getting back on schedule with the kids back at school. Getting the new house in order and making it all "homey" is that even a word? LOL. It's also given me tons of time to scrap again :) Here's what I've been working on lately...

Hello finally :)

Wow, I can't believe it's been since before Christmas since I wrote on here. I feel so bad. I've been so B-U-S-Y! We moved out of the "Money Pit" and into a brand new mobile home in a quiet park where it's so cozy and homey feeling I absolutely LOVE it! I'll post some pics as soon as I can. I'm still working though hours were cut so no more 40+ hours/week, which means.... MORE SCRAPPING!! YAYY!! I have been neglecting my scrapping habit with all the hours I was working and got behind pretty bad. It's sad, I know... a real life outside of scrapping and SO, who woulda thunk it?? LOL I am in desperate need of a blog make over considering this one is Christmas themed. There's lots of fun stuff going on over at SO be sure to stop by over there and play some challenges and pick up some goodies ;) Before I go I want to share with you our new family photo :) we had it taken in January!

Happy Scrapping! -Kristi
