Happy New Year!!!

It's a new year, can you believe it?! For me, 2009 was filled with many wonderful memories and some great opportunities too. I am so proud of myself for making it onto my local scrapbook store's Design Team and for opening up my own Etsy shop. I am hoping 2010 will be just as fabulous for me and my family.

Here is a little mini album I put together over the summer, but I thought it was very appropriate to share tonight as I reflect on 2009 and what is most important to me.


Happiness is witnessing a special moment between brothers...

watching my children with my parents and the love they share, being a big sister,

watching my boys bond, play, and share with one another
having a wonderfully supportive and loving family, being good friends with my mother,

spending time with children and having a husband who is a wonderful spouse, friend, and father

Happiness is having two of the sweetest and happiest boys in the world!

I look forward to spending lots of time with my precious family in 2010! I wish you all the best in the New Year too!


Details on the album - Super easy to make! Just use some large Creative Cafe tags or cut some large tag shapes of your own. Use a little patterned paper throughout the album to create a cohesiveness. Keep a simple and consistent layout for each page...one or two pictures and some journaling. Then add a few sticker accents, a ring, and ribbon to tie it all together. I used October Afternoons Cherry Hill word stickers and American Crafts ribbon.
