An Update of Sorts, & a Challenge with a PRIZE!!!

Aaaaah yes! It is true! I am already looking forward to Valentine's Day!!!

I have my decorations out and candy dishes filled

(for display purposes only... which, by the way,

my daughter MOCKS me over this, every time?!)

It's been awhile since I have posted. It's simply because I have not had much to talk about?!

Time has slowed down a bit... it's been really nice, actually!?

I was able to get the Christmas stuff put away and the Valentine's Day stuff out and on display

I am back to my daily workouts, weekly meetings, and monthly Bunko's and Scrap Nights.

I just started the Beth Moore study on the Book of Daniel.

It seems like it will be really good - as all of her studies are!?

After the study, I managed to print out all of our Christmas pictures yesterday...

I have some great ones... (no surprise, there?! LOL!?) which explains the 20 pound albums.

I am seriously going to have to get a handle on that this year?! Honestly... it is out of hand?! I may have to take on Corinna's approach to stacking, just so my actual Albums are not like a resistance training workout just to look through!? I am also taking on this project of my own (since business is slow right now!)... I am planning on making a Christmas Album that is not based around photo's, but my annual Christmas Letter. That is a challenge... I may have to scan some pictures of Christmases past. However you know they are all, yes, ALL, scrapped?! Anyway - my challenge, (as always!) is to keep each year to one double-page layout!? Yes, even though there are little or no photo's?! (It's no secret... I LOVE WORDS!)

Anyway - I have that project, I have Christmas Layouts to complete... AND - Valentine's Day is coming?! Which means hand-made cards, fun gift projects, and who can know what other fun?! A Love letter, for SURE! That is my challenge to all of you... I challenge you to Write a Love Letter for Valentine's Day and make a Scrapbook Page or Card out of it! It could be a Letter to your spouse, one of your children, a parent, yourself, whatever...

But, it must be real & from the heart (and NEW!?).

The first person who completes this challenge & e-mails me a photo of it will win a Prize!!!

I'm not sure what yet, but it will be good... and may include Chocolate?!

I will post the Winning Layout here.

Scrap Happy!
