I would say the last year has been pretty good, but I think it was a year a just coasted along. No major changes like last year and didn't get everything on my list crossed off, but all in all I can't complain it was a good year. But here's hoping to more changes and chances to grow in 2009.
I wish you and everyone you love health and happiness in 2009.

The album is really starting to come together, hoping to actually get caught up by the end of the week and maybe even finish it this year.
Gave this to my sister for Christmas and she loved it! She has been begging me to make something for her for years. I started this back in August thinking that I could make this and some for family members but I barely got this one done in time to get it framed and ready for Christmas. Every time she would come by the house or see me working on a project she would ask when I was going to make her one. I would just shrug my shoulders and keep on with my work, knowing that she was going to get a surprise on Christmas day. She even called the next day to thank me and let me know how much she loved her gift. I hoping that this will be a theme for the next year with gifts, I have a few that I would like to make as birthday gifts for different people.
Making a good dent in the backlog of pages I need to do, did these yesterday.
Day 3: Christmas Cards
There is a second page to Day 3, it's a photo collage and I'm going to order prints when I'm done with all the pages.
Day 4: Perfect Christmas
Used a photo from a Pottery Barn catalog like I did last year. Because really what could be more perfect than a Pottery Barn Christmas.
Day 5: Advent
I got the idea for the numbers from someones page last year and have been wanting to do it.
Day 6: Memories
I decided to journal about one specific memory this year.
That's all I have for now, back to work on some more pages.
I hope everyone had a merry and happy Christmas.
We spend Christmas at my sister so that's where I am tonight. The girls are finally in bed, but I doubt they are asleep yet, they are floating on a cloud of excitement right now. No visions of sugarplums in their heads tonight. More like visions of a go cart, which they are getting for Christmas.
Happy Christmas Eve everyone and I hope you have a wonderful and happy Christmas.
peppermint bark.
I haven't made this for years but my sister asked that I make it so I made a few batches and handed them out at work. I don't have an exact recipe but it's basically two bags of white chocolate for one box of candy canes. Melt the chocolate over the stove or in the microwave, while the chocolate melts smash the candy canes. Mix the two together and add peppermint extract, I usually do about half a cap full which I think is about 1/4 tsp. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread chocolate mixture on it. Put in the refrigerator for a few hours to chill. Brake it up into bite size pieces and you are ready to go. So yummy.
