Christmas Card Photo Outtakes

We had fun taking pictures of the boys down at the beach last Saturday. Here are some of the outtakes.

Recent Layouts

I thought it was a good idea to share some of my newest scrapbook pages! I'm really trying to get through a bunch of our Disney pictures from Sept/Oct 2008 since we're going back next month (Jan '10). Yay!

ReNew

I've seen people chose a "word" for the new year and try to have it have meaning throughout that year. I haven't done this yet, but I think I'll try it on for the year 2010.

I've chosen the word "ReNew". On our car ride up to NC this past weekend for Sara & Kevin's engagement party, I saw a sign for recycling that said "ReDuce, ReUse, ReNew". The bell went off in my head that ReNew was a great word for me.

ReNew old friendships.
ReNew Relationships.
ReNew my commitment to losing weight.
ReNew my faith.
ReNew my love for scrapbooking.
ReNew my passion for life, in general!

Time to stop neglecting my Blog!

I really want to make a commitment to posting on this blog again. I've said this before, but I'll say it again that I enjoy going back thru my own posts here and seeing, reading, etc... I need to get back to this as something fulfilling and not a chore. I can upload pictures now, so I think that will be very helpful in getting me to WANT to post more.

Win a Cricut Gypsy!

Gypsy by Cricut

I saw the tutorial video on this machine a few weeks ago and thought it was awesome! I don't think I'll win, but what the heck, might as well try! :D

Ugh.... computer problems!

So I've decide I want to keep up with my blog. Thank you to Erin, Eleni and La for your encouraging words. I realized that it was one of the first times, in my adult life, that I was really journaling what was going on in my life and I didn't just want to stop doing it.

Anyway, now I have computer problems. One of the ways I like to blog is to post pictures. It's probably my fave way to blog & journal. I'm a very visual person. LOL. But my stupid computer won't let me upload pictures here to Blogger. I also can't upload pics to yahoo or photobucket. Wahhhhh!

I think we're either getting someone to fix this computer (yet again) or getting a new one. I can't deal with computer problems when it's my lifeline almost every day. DH bought himself a flat screen TV, so maybe it's time for me to get a laptop? ;-)

To Blog or not to Blog?

I've been a horrible blogger and I've been asking myself these questions a lot lately. Do I enjoy blogging? Do I want to keep up with my blog? Should I keep on blogging? Hmm. Then I realized how much I enjoy going back thru the posts & pictures from last year, so if I keep slacking this year, I'm really going to miss a lot. All that said, I'm going to try to blog again. :)
