Welcome 2010!!

Hope you all enjoyed ringing in the New Year! I didn't quite make it to midnight...I've become a total party pooper as I get older!! I have been working on finishing up the last mini's I've owed, making up some new kits and goofing off with my family. The kids go back to school on Tuesday. Yeah!!! Loved having them home but....

I have had several people comment on having the 12 Days of Christmas Projects withdrawals! I agree! I have decided to continue in that vein...though not on a daily basis...but on a weekly basis! So, check in on Wednesdays for "What's Up Wednesday" here on my blog and on YouTube. I've got a new style paper bag album coming up this Wednesday so make sure you come and check it out!

I will also be having a special event here on my blog starting January 24th. It will be a "Fifty Days to 50!" countdown. OMG, I can't believe it but I will be turning ...gulp!...cough!....50 in mid March! I had no problem with 30 (I was looking forward to maybe not getting carded every where I went!). At 40 I was pregnant with my daughter, so I don't remember much! But 50! How the %*&$#@ did that happen! I don't feel (nor do I act) my age! So I decided, to make the transition easier, I would start celebrating early. Not sure what I'm going to do yet, but I will keep you posted.

Happy Scrapping to all!!

  1. Laura, Happy New Year to you and yours! How exciting to read that you will be doing What's Up Wednesday. With all your talent, I have no doubt you'll have loads of projects to share with us. Looking forward also to the new paper bag album. On turning 50....I'm still in shock and I'll turn 56 this year! lol Oh well, I'm thankful for the 55 yrs so far. To quote my favorite commercial jingle, "When I Grow Up I Want to be an Old Woman". Amen! Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge of paper crafts with us. It is much appreciated.

    I really love all your projects Laura. I've made the purse album with my daughters and a friend of my eldest (they are 10 and 7 y.o.) Mine isn't finished yet. Had to help the kids all the time, but I'm going to put it on my blog soon.

    I'm looking forward to your upcoming projects.
    Take care
    hugs,

  11. Yay! I've been checking in periodically to see what your new year's plans were on your blog....so glad you're counting down to 50! I'm in much the same neighborhood age wise....I'll be 48 in some few days here.....don't act my age either. I quite like it that way. So do the kids I watch. They call me weird....but good crazy weird. I always maintain normalcy and MANURITY are highly over-rated!!! Who says we have to grow up.....really!

  12. I am already on the other side of 50 by several years-it isn't too bad. I get the old mom words from my girls, but I just ignore them most of the time. I love the new look of your blog. I have watched your recent videos. I love the work you do. I can't wait to check in on Wednesdays. This will be fun. thank you--kh
