Those are all the challenges I have done so far, but there are new ones each Monday at SBC, and daily at AMR. I haven't been doing blog challenges, these are keeping me pretty busy. I will most likely do some that really appeal to me, but I am not going to force myself to do all of them, like I used to. I decided I am not going to be famous and I am now ok with that. I don't NEED to get my name out there. I am going to just enjoy what I am doing and not stress about it. Be back tomorrow with even more stuff to share!!

.

That is all as far as the All Moments Remembered crop from 3 weeks ago. I was busy for a week trying to get as many challenges done as I could. A week wasn't even enough for this slow scrapper. I had a blast. And while this anniversary crop was bigger and crazier than the normal crops, I can't wait for the next monthly crop on February 20th! They are always a blast! I won a prize from signing in for the crop, then won 2 challenges. Cliff even signed up and cropped with me! He got quite a few challenges done, and won 2 himself!!

.

It is now almost 4 am. I need to go to bed, as I am off to Tigardlilly's tomorrow to hang out and we are going to dye our hair!! That reminds me, if any of you are readers of her blog, you need to go over there and get her to blog some more, I have done all I can! She has some great stuff she has been working on since we are still scrapping every Monday with Inara, but she hasn't been blogging any of it!

I Have Been A Scrappin' Fool...

...and a bit obsessed with Twilight, lol! I am on the last book and am totally hooked on it! I will admit, I haven't really been reading, but listening to it on Youtube, that is how I have been able to do so much scrappin'!! I have a few inches of layouts to share, tons of challenges I have done, the rest of 2008 in review, some ATCs, RAKS, etc. A total of 81 photos to share, but don't worry, I will break it down into a few posts! Even though I haven't been blogging (or reading blogs), I have been scrapping!

.

First on the list, finish my 2008 Year In Review...

.

OCTOBER

I celebrated my 34th Birthday.

Tigardlilly and I got to see Weezer in concert.

Cliff and I celebrated our 8th anniversary.

Tigardlilly and I took the kids to the pumpkin patch for pumpkins and the corn maze.

.

NOVEMBER

Kaydrenth, Inara, Tigardlilly and myself had our Own Private Scrapbook Convention.

Macy's Holiday Parade

.

DECEMBER
Cisco turned 6.

Cliff and I put up Christmas lights

It snowed, a lot!

That is is for 2008. It was a fairly boring year, and I am glad it is over! I look forward to this year, I have great expectations, and I will ENDURE whatever comes my way!

.

I know I mentioned scrapping, and it was my intent to share some of that, but then realizing the amount of photos, that will come tomorrow (or later today as it is 2 am here). I will work very hard on blogging more, and keeping up with my Google Reader, which is how I read all the blogs I subscribe to. I will work more on leaving comments on your blogs, as I know how much I love them and how important that is to have. Other than the emotional lift it gives me, I love to know that people are still reading my blog. With that in mind, I will be leaving more comments myself! I have missed all of you, and will do all I can to blog for you more often! Oh yeah, I gave up on Project 365, I fell behind, and realized that I could never keep up with it. Oh well, it isn't like I don't have enough to do, right?!
