Sad News

Just as I was settling in to my new digital home, it's closing. Everyone is so sad and shell-shocked about the announcement, but we know that Sherrie and Scott had to do what was best for themselves, given the current economy. IT SUCKS. But I'm still glad I joined on when I did because I have met the BEST, most AWESOME, most WONDERFUL people and I'm determined to keep them in my circle of friends. So don't think you can disappear gals, I'm following you wherever you go! So I'm hunting around for a new store, but in the meantime, here's the info about the closing.

If you have PGD discount coupons, gift codes or Gypsy Points from participating in challenges, please redeem them. They will no longer be effective as of March 1st, 2009. To check your Gypsy Points balance, log in to PGD and use the “My Profile” link on the left navigation. Any points you have accumulated will be displayed there, along with a link to redeem your points if you’ve accumulated enough.

Beginning on February 15th we will be having a Farewell Sale. All products in the store will be 50% off through the end of the month. All sales are final, and please download your purchases immediately, as the store will be closed as of March 1st and account access will no longer be available. Thank you for the opportunity to share this wonderful, creative craft with you! We’ve loved every minute of it!

Word of the Year

I have chosen. Its going to be HEALTH. I thought a lot about this and as much as I hate to admit it, that's what I need right now. I am going to work my way through the Word of the Year Discovery Tool I posted about yesterday. I have it printed which I suppose is the first step - ha!

Physical health - related to weight, skin, better foods going in, all that stuff.

Mental health - related to being happy with where I am and what I have, not putting too much on my plate, finding balance, accepting what I can't change, all those things that stress me out and make me want to go hide under a pillow or drop out of society.

I can do this although I am quite certain it will be rough road. I'm going to work on committing to it today while my awesome hubby heads out into the world to run errands, take Isabella to lunch, and do some shopping for fishing gear at Bass Pro Shops.

Do you have a word for 2010? I would love to hear about it if you do. And if you don't, DON'T STRESS. Really, it will be okay.

Twenty Ten.

Wow. So I'm writing this a bit early so it will post in the AM while I am asleep. I've been thinking a lot about what the heck I'm going to do/change/focus/etc for the upcoming year. I've got some neat tools I found online related to my scrapbooking and crafting journey. I got a copy of Log Your Memories for 2010 and I'm going to try to use that to keep me inspired and positive about my scrapbooking journey. I also downloaded the Word of the Year Discovery Tool and its cool. I have no clue what my word will be, or whether I will even think of one, but I think tomorrow today will be a thoughtful day spent in my craft room.

I will say I am in the process of scrapping 2009 photos, things I missed during the year, so I can complete my album and order all my prints. My goal is to have the 2009 album ready for printing by the end of Jan 2010. We shall see. But while looking at photos, I found a few layouts that were created for Scrap N'Art a few issues ago and now I can share them here. Enjoy and hope you are having an awesome first day of 2010!
