History In the Making!

=Hope for the Future, Yes We Can!

"On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics."-President Obama 1/20/09

Today is a great day and will be remembered for years to come as the day we were ready to come together and make a change! God bless America.

Love Notes

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and we are always looking for ways to express our love to the people we care for the most, with that said, I came up with a few cards today that I would like to share.

I used a Valentine's Day Themed paper pack that I found in the $1.00 Section at Target and some other holiday embellishments that I had lying around. There's nothing like paper crafting at virtually no cost! Enjoy and let me know what you think!

A New Year...A New Post!

Hey All!! Happy (better-late-than-never) New Year!!

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year with your families. My New Year's eve was spent with some good friends...dancing, drinking and eating! I believe there's NO better way to celebrate and get things started right!

I actually have a few resolutions that I've been thinking about lately, but haven't really followed through with. And here they are in no specific order;

*Learn Spanish

*Use the elliptical that's lonely in the living room to help get in shape for the wedding! (6 1/2 months and counting)

*Get at least ONE LO published this year (BIG GOAL)

*Learn more about digital scrapbooking and using photoshop/illustrator

*Make at least one LO per week!

*Post more blog entries!!! (I really need to make a better effort here)

*Focus a little more on wedding planning so that my big day has NO BIG disasters!!!!

There's other things, but one can't try to be too ambitious until she starts tackling some of these things!

So anyway, as part of my first post of the year here is a new LO I did recently of my little 2nd cousin Niko. The picture was taken a while ago, but so cute that I couldn't help but scrap it! It looks like he's escorting his little gf, but in actuality, she's a distant cousin of his too! But they are just 2 cute for words!! Enjoy!
