One week left

Well I have one week of vacation left. I cleaned the house today and now the week is mine to scrap away. My new cricut expression got here today so I was busy hooking it up to the design studio and all. Boy it looks like too much fun..if thats possible lol. I finally got the Rusty Pickle paper I have been waiting for and finished my sketch layout. I wish our local scrapstores sold it. :(
Few more days to the new year...what's your new years resolution?
Here's my Rusty Pickle layout...

Thank goodness the holidays are over.

I am so glad that the holidays are finally over and life can get back to normal (as we know it) at my house. I am not sure why we let the holidays get the best of us and make us all run around like chickens with our heads cut off but they always seem to. I myself am making an effort to get my shopping done way earlier them usual and things mailed by the end of Oct. (we will see if that happens). lol
Here's to wishing yu and yours a great new year!

A little toot

Just have to toot my own horn a little here. For those of you that I haven't wrangled down and told this to, Two of my layouts were selected by Cosmo Cricket(a scrapbooking company) to use on their website! For those of you that aren't familier with it, this is a huge honor.
I am lucky enough to have had many layouts win challenges and contests. Yes (I am boasting, it is my blog so I can do that here lol) I am proud of this. I never thought I would be good enough at the hobby I love so much to have this happen. I am so happy to be able to spend as much time scrapping as I am able to. Hopefully there will be many more toots to come as I get better and better.
Your welcome to check out my layouts here or in my gallery at www.scrapbook.com/places/scrappinraiderfan

Hope you all had an excellent Christmas!! Happy new year to everyone!
