Scrapbooking 2012 cont.

 

My goal was to have my scrapbook pages for 2012 completed before the end of the year.  I still have to complete the 4th of July, Glacier Park Camping and Christmas.  Maybe I'll still get it done before 12:00 tonight.  We shall see... ;)

Happy New Years Eve!

♪♫ It's the most wonderful time of the year... ♫♪

Well, ONE of the most wonderful times of the year...

Why? Because...

-We're looking forward to company and special meeting this weekend.

-We get to see more family soon!

-The kids get 2 weeks off school.

-Randy is taking a week off work(hopefully).

-Concerts, parties, and all manner of celebrations coming our way.

-A trip if the weather cooperates.

-Crafts, cooking, being cozy by the fire.

and last but not least...

-only 26 more days without Chocolate! 

(My husband and kids think we should have a chocolate party on New Years Day.  I think that might be overdoing it a little.  I thought they were suggesting it in honor of my great and notable accomplishment of surviving the year without chocolate, but then I realized how much THEY have all missed having chocolate around the house this year.  Maybe we WILL have to think about a party...  :)

Happy December!
