**HAPPY NEW YEAR** or as we are having fun saying: happy 2 double OH 7 - hee hee!
is it just me that has this silly new year's tradition - or a crazy good luck charm that my mother instilled in me years ago - whichever the case, i STILL have to venture to the store today (if it's open) to get a can of the crazy beans/peas to eat! HA!
what path/road will you follow this awesome new year! do tell! i'm so excited about the new year - not sure why this year is different really. i guess it's just the idea of getting a new start, seeing things through fresh eyes and making all things possible. after all, you must have things to aspire and encourage you to press on!?
we finally had our christmas!!! the packages arrived and so did the christmas visitors that weren't able to come on the 1st try thanks to the blizzard! so we had our "package opening" christmas on saturday, dec. 30th - woo hoo!
my highlights:
LOVE to get books for gifts! these two were on my amazon wish list: claudine hellmuth's book: collage discovery workshop - can't wait to dive into this one and get inspired to create! and then there is this one: visual chronicles - filled with TONS of unique/awesome inspiration - woo hoo! the dvds were a pleasant surprise and an exciting bonus!
then there was this:
i'm so new to the iPod world and i was tickeld to get this from my brother-in-law! my dearest hubby has already filled it with all of my fav songs and i am now ready for an upcoming trip at the end of this month to anaheim (appropriately on the iPod: john denver/leaving on a jet plane) - wahooooooooooo!
ahhhhhhhhhh.......but THE best surprise of all is that i'm going to DISNEYLAND! okay, WELL, not really but i will be walking distance from "the happiest place on earth" as i will be attending C.H.A. winter (the craft and hobby world's fair) at the end of this month - along with more of my projects! thanks to the design team that i'm on (love you therm o web and c!), i will happily be working in the tow booth and rubbing elbows with tim holtz (note, see dvd above). i took a peek at the tradeshow's floor plan and he is a hop away from the booth i'll be in - love me some timmy!!! it has always been a pipe dream of mine to go and have been invited previously but never was able to get the means together to go. airfare/hotel has been booked and i'm set! happy 2007 to me as this was on my "to do" list this year! as an added bonus: martha stewart is the keynote speaker on the 1st day of the show - crossing my fingers that it's not sold out yet!
i finally get to meet my dear friend wendy at cha! can't wait to see/meet you wen!
thanks for letting me share!
CHEERS to all of you my dear friends!
