New Year, Fresh Start.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

As I do most years I have made some New Year's Resolutions and one of them involves this BLOG. This year I am going to become better at posting on my blog. There it is written down so mow everyone can keep me accountable. A little while ago I purchased 52 Scrapbooking Challenges by Elsie Flannigan and have decided that over this year I want to do one of her challenges each week. These I am going to put onto my blog. Challenge # 1 is called work those words. Here is my LO.



My local Scrap store "Embellished" has just launched a new site and as part of it they have put up some competions. The first one is their January Sketch Challenge which is what I have also used as my Elsie Challenge #1. Their second comp is to do a LO to the title of New Beginnings. This is mine.






Over the last couple of weeks Nathan has been on holidays and we have been doing some rearranging (something I seem to do a bit of). As part of our rearranging we have moved our study / scrapping room into one of the spare bedrooms in our house which is much bigger than our official study. Here are a few photos to show you what it looks like now. I wish that I had taken some before photo's so that you can see just how crowded our old room was.






For Christmas Nathan gave me a beautiful wire maniquine. I was originally thinking that it would be to hang jewellery and other accessories on, however after looking at it in our house I decidecd that it would make a really cool place to store all of my scrapping ribbons. Here is a photo of the finished product - again I didn't take a before photo - I really have to learn to do this!






As I have been on holiday's I have also been doing quite a bit of scrapping and though that I would put some of my work up here.

This is my 2008 diary. I thought that the plain black looked a bit boring so I jazzed it up a bit.
