Welcome 2009!!!

Ok, so I am a little late with that, but at least I did it, lol!!
I have so much to share, but it will take me a few days to get it all shared with you, as there are just too many photos! . The first thing I want to share is my word for the year...ENDURE. I chose this word based on our current situation and I know we will have to endure a lot this year. I am not sure what my plan is exactly, I suppose it will come to me in time, though it will probably start with an altered project or something.

Next on my list is I am doing a 365 photo thing. I know others are doing it, and I just liked the idea. I am not doing any organized challenge or group, just sort of doing my own. I think I will call it 365 in 2009 original, I know! I have already started it...

OK, edited to say Project 365, just like everyone else, lol!
1/1
I finished this book!! I am so hooked and obsessed now! But unlike others-you both know who you are-I refuse to let it take over my life. Cliff is already feeling jealous, and my blogging/scrapping is behind, LOL! I even used the tickets I got for my bday and saw the movie!

I cleaned up my scrapspace, and hope to keep it like this all year!

Next on my list...Scrappy Girl shared a review of 2008 and I loved it so much, I wanted to do the same. The problem is, there are so many photos, and I want to share them all. It is going to take a few days to share it all! I will do 3-4 months at a time, I hope you don't mind.
