Month: January 2012

If you took one of my in-person classes in 2011 odds are you used Pink Paislee products. The versatility, great design, and all around cool factor of their products keeps Pink Paislee high on my favorite list. In fact, their mistables line was one of my crafting highlights of 2011 to be sure – here’s my video that I created for Scrapbook Update featuring the most awesome plain black & white line EVAH:

To say I’m anxious to see what they have in store for 2012 is a massive under statement. I can’t wait to see what’s up next!

I’m writing this as the clock strikes twelve and fireworks are going wild outside…

In 2011 I put together a book for F&W publishing.

Remained EXACTLY the same weight despite some gain + loss during year.

Made some changes, am no longer on any design teams.

Took my first trip to South Carolina. Saw my (baby) cousin graduate Basic Training. Spent good one-on-one time with my aunt.

Finally met my friend Stephanie Howell – and had an utterly perfect lady-date in my favorite city of Savannah.

Was asked (and accepted challenge) of reviewing books on a regular basis for a romance review site.

Went to two weddings of good friends that were utterly fantastic.

Started sending both my girls to school.

Spent a lot of time at home, with family, soaking up time with my girls.

Resumed teaching classes at local stores.

Got a Keurig coffee maker

ok, that last thing maybe shouldn’t make my list… except it so does. The nearly instant fix I can now get in the morning blows my mind and makes me SO happy when I’m rushed.

2011 didn’t seem like a memorable year until I started looking back. Thinking about challenges our family faced and triumphs that we found.

I’ll be sharing some specific crafty highlights over the next week or two. In the mean time,

Happy New Year!
