Where did December go??

Well, December has been crazy as it always tends to be ;) I've been down with bronchitis for the past three weeks, and thankfully I was able to kick it just right before Christmas. And Christmas was WONDERFUL! Santa really spoiled us this year :)

We had a relaxing holiday with NO TRAVELING! YES! We stayed in our P.J's all day and just snacked on yummy food while we played with all our Christmas loot. It was heaven!

Our 12 Days of Christmas Sale at ScrapArtist went off without a hitch, Our server was actually able to keep up with everyone, (Thank heavens for small miracles!) It was all pretty smooth sailing..

I've been working on several projects outside of ScrapArtist. There is of course my new lines with Fancy Pants that will be released at CHA in Jan :) (So excited!!) I went to the Press check just before Christmas and the papers just look so YUMMY! I can't wait to see them up at CHA! As soon as I get the go-ahead from Jodi at FP I will post some sneak peeks :)They are really bright and fun designs, I can't wait to show them to you! :)

Then I had the pleasure of talking with deann McDaniel from Disc Talk Radio. They are spotlighting me for the month of January. I so enjoyed talking to deann, apparently I can talk about this amazing hobby of mine for hours on end ;) I also created an exclusive kit for Disc Talk Radio subscribers:

The colors are so fun, and bright :) I had to scrap with it, I loved the layout so much that I decided to include it as a quick page :)

Oh, these photos of Lorynn make me laugh! :)

Have another quick layout to add here too. I took these photos of my adorable nephew on Thanksgiving day; I wanted to scrap something for my brother that he could frame and hang on his wall so I kept the layout very simple:



Oh what a cutie he is! :) Papers in this layout are from another project I have been working on outside of ScrapArtist ;)

So, I am gearing up for January. I am always willing and ready to make those new years resolutions. I have been completely inspired by my husband to get my rear in gear and start living a more healthy lifestyle. For those of you who don't know; Paul, has recently lost 52 pounds and has started running, biking and swimming his way through triathlons and marathons, he has even climbed to the tippy top of Grand Teton. (WOW!) Being the competitive person that I am, I cannot let him show me up. SO I am making it my new years resolution to get to the gym 4 times a week. NO EXCUSES!! :)

Scrapping my little heart out..

Oh, I have missed being able to scrapbook!! I've had a little dry spell with all my deadlines and such, that my layouts have had to take a back seat.. But I've finished up my elements for my Glow Paper Set.. And I actually had time to scrap two layouts!





Both of these are using my Glow papers and elements :) I've been taking TONS of pictures lately.. So I have PLENTY to scrap.. I swear just about everything is photo worthy at Christmas time! I've got some pictures of my tree that are on my list next ;) Oh, then there are the ones where we are seeing the Christmas Lights in the park too, and the photos of the girls with santa.. Hey, I am just getting started here!! It's no wonder that I had to create 3 separate Christmas Kits ;) Hmm.. If you count Glow I guess it's four..

But. I just have to post here.. I am SO PROUD of my daughter, Brenna!! My little first grader.. She entered reflections, and WON! She wrote and illustrated a book. It is adorable! Now she moves onto district; I am so stinkin' proud of her!!

Off to scrap some more! :)
