The year 2012...

first I want to apologize, I'm just to lazy to put this album on to a one page spread...you're going to have to scroll...this was not my original idea I saw it on Elizabeth Kartchner's BLOG and it inspired me.  This is what I came up with:

do you notice STAMPING?!  I know don't fall out of your chair--one of them is studio calico, not really sure what the other polka dot stamp is...but I like it! :)

I'm only going to show everyone else's picture side, not their journaling side.  My son would like his to remain "secret"

 My youngest and I had a blast making these envelopes, we sprayed different colors and wiped the envelopes through them and let them dry..

 the papers are from an old Crate Paper set (rubons/stickers included).  The assembly of the kit went relatively quickly, the filling out of the papers was a WHOLE different story!  But everyone did it, it will be fun to read what we wrote next year.... ALL of the printouts are linked to Dear Lizzy BLOG. The fun thing about this is that you could do this RIGHT now if you wanted--who says that you have to do EXACTLY on the first of the year! :)
So yesterday my desk came!  I ordered it in anticipation of my birthday next week and was SO excited and it came, the assembly was quick especially with the helping hands of my youngest.

isn't is pretty?!  My cricut is not going to stay on that bottom shelf, but for right now it is there.  I still have to put things away.  but I'm happy to report that my rolling tote has a home to the right, next to the window as well as my trash can.  Makes sense that it is on my right since I'm right handed...ANYWAY!  I was SO excited I had to share!
Thanks for the visit today!
