I hope everyone is having a very Merry Christmas with the ones they hold dear! This one has been super special for Shane and I for so many reasons but mostly because this was our first of many Christmases we were able to wake up and have all our kiddos with us. This brings us so much happiness!
This is a layout and card I created using the Teresa Collins line. She is the December Sponsor over at CMK. Love these products!
So much fun to play with. It’s also my last month on the design team over there as it’s time for Lisa to bring some new talent on board. It’s been an amazing experience working with her and the other talented ladies over there. Not just on the DT but everyone that posts and shares their creations! The gallery is always chock full of inspiration! If you’re looking for a fun, warm, and creative place to call home on the web then you should come say hey and join in the fun.
I am so excited about what’s in store for 2009. For my family and for me spiritually and creatively….. it will be a year of new beginnings, new adventures, new creations and new attitudes. I’ve spent too much energy this year on how hard things have been. Time to focus on only positive things and purge my life of negativity.
Thanks for all the positive encouragement and reinforcement you’ve given me this year and most recently. I hope to be able to inspire you in fun and new ways in 2009! Thanks for always being a bright spot in my day and giving me the added motivation to keep doing what I love…CREATE! ♥
Holiday Hugs to you & yours! ♥

Hey girl! I am sorry that I have been out of the loop for a while. I just stop by CMK here and there when I have time. You kow how it is. Brody is so cute with his Santa hat eating a phone? Alex loves mine. Congrats on the PC pubs, late at night I get a chance to page through the magazines and I just love all the inspiration.
I know it’s hard, but try not to worry about crazy people talking…there is nothing you can do about that. You know the real story and that is all that matters.
Merry Christmas. I hope Brody enjoyed his first!
