New Year's Eve Scrapping and Creating

New Year's Eve is not my favourite holiday so I am VERY happy to stay in by myself. I am soon headed out to brunch with some friends, and then I plan to head to the grocery store and LSS to check out some new goodies they got in. Once I am settled back at home I plan on spending today and tomorrow working in my craft space (maybe scrapbooking, maybe finally finishing the organizing that I keep committing to).

I'll be doing a lot more crafting and a little bit more cleaning/organizing in my craft room today and tomorrow. I finished 4 cards this morning and started the next batch of 4. One more batch tomorrow and I can switch over to birthday cards. I had a bad flare up of arthritis in my hands and it's great to finally be able to stamp again.

I've also told myself that every time I'm in my craft room I must find 5 things to give away, throw away or put in their proper places.

I'm looking forward to a good dinner, a good glass of wine and a good book to ring in the new year!

Happy New Year everyone- it’s already the1st here. Unusually for me I actually went out to a friend’s place last night where a group of us enjoyed a great BBQ meal and played Pictionary - something else I haven’t done for ages.

Might do some scrapping this afternoon but also want to get into the garden for a couple of hours this morning as we have several days of rain forecast this week.

I always scrap on the new yr holiday :)we don't have people coming over anymore I am still doing my sons BD box card. he will love it I also pulled out photos of beautiful dress my grandma sewed when I was 3 :)she died that yr I could not say grandma so I called her mom mom. I have pics of my beautiful daughter wearing it at 3.

I'm getting in the shower, then putting on my pajamas to scrapbook.

I pretty much abandoned scrapping in December, so I am excited!

Sorry to hear about your dog julie5

Thank you anniefb

Of course the frickin aspca commercial just came on and now we're bawling again. We were just saying how horrible that commercial was the other day.

Sorry for your family's loss julie5.

Our day just kept getting side-tracked by the kid's plans and running with them. We ran to the store early since it sounded like we would be able to eat together, but ended up it would just be me and DH so we are saving the food for tomorrow. Just got to my craft room since we decided we didn't feel like movies or games with just the 2 of us and knowing one kid has friends stopping over closer to midnight. Now I'm not feeling much mojo to start a project. Ho-hum, haven't had this mellow of a NYE in at least 20 years!

julie5 I am so sorry for your loss. So had to lose a pet.


I got my new Cricut Maker up and running, I used it to cut 2 bowl cozies and sewed them up for my DH. No paper crafting today but I may still do some tonight. Just the kiddos and DH and hanging out having pizza and snacks.

I am also doing another page about my grandma & her sewing for her 6 girls & grandkids someone at SBC did one that was amazing & had a fabulous title luckily I have a bunch of sewing papers..stickers..dies..
