Scrapping again and blog challenge

It's been a while since i've scrapped and I got to do a few pages before new years and a bunch after.

I have to say it's super nice to have a dedicated scrap area that is staying clean and is in bright light! (when the sun shines that is ;)

I highly recommend doing shelves like I did for a desk..it forces me to put things away to keep anna out of it and keeps my room clean.

The layout at left was using our Tribal Council kit..which I personally disliked....I don't know why but it never spoke to me like some of our other kits...but when I pulled it out I did a record 3-4 layouts with it..not bad for a sad little kit I didn't like :) And I have to thank my wonderfully, talented DT for giving me the push and inspiration I needed. With their sketches and wonderful takes on our kits it was impossible not to fall in love with this kit. Remember that when doing your layouts....and using our kits...we offer a great many resources to you for scrapping!

So Annette has posted our first blog challenge on our message board (they are in Gotta Chat- so come on in and take part!):
Q: What do you want to accomplish for YOURSELF this year? What are you goals or dreams? What are you most looking forward to? Give us a prediction of how you see your life going in 2007

Hmm....I want to lose weight and be healthier....I want to see SA succeed. I want to get Anna comfortable in Preschool without thinking I am going to disappear! For me...I'd love to get a bit smaller so I am not snoring or have bone spurs or back issues. :) I predict you'll see a thinner, happier me at the end of the year. At least I sure hope so! I am looking forward most? To my vacation with my family this summer...and to CHA and the SA crop....Bonni is coming in for a week and I can't believe my best friend will be here and we'll be hanging out together scrapping (well maybe ONE layout in all those days) and just chilling! I also am looking forward to CHA Winter...not the plane trip cause I am a wuss like you wouldn't believe but because Mom and I are going to go shopping and do girl things for 1-2 days extra that we are there...San Diego here I come! :)

I hope that we'll all stay close my family---with losing Dad I realize how important my family- my whole family is. I think I've finally come to terms with Dad and his smoking and "issues" and know that I love him all the same.

That's my goals for this year!
