I played with some goodies Leslie mailed me!  Remember that HUUUUUGE box I posted about?

She's such an amazing person!  Thank you again Les!  <3

Well, I created a few pages with it so far and this is one of my favorites.

It's totally me, totally my style.  I don't even know how I would describe it.  :)

I used embroidery floss to show what dates we were in what locations in the images.

| gifting |

I had a honey-do list started for Brandon for when he got home.  He "said" he wanted some things to do.  But after I added painting my new craft/office he said he'd do it and then snoffed at it the next day.  So as a present to him for the Holidays....  I'm doing it for him! LOL

I'm such a nice wife.  :)  Love you Mr. Hammer!!!  Now you can come home, have a beer and watch endless hours of recorded UFC.  ;)

| determination |

Yes.... DETERMINED!  With more things than ONE!  That's going to be my new word for 2012 I think.  It's a good one... I'm determined in regards to many things.  My first, will unfold in a positive way at the end of January.  I CAN NOT WAIT!

What's your 2012 word?

| friends, know when to hold em'... |

know when to fold em'! There's one friend of mine that has really brightened up my life. Who I met through that crazy craft filled with creative people, jealous people, happy people and well... if you scrapbook you know what I mean. :)  Anyway, we started chatting and became super GREAT friends and I love her to death...

Leslie Ashe!

{created waaaaaay back in 2006}

We've been through thick and thin together and still can count on each other. :) And we have had some serious laughter bouts!  {right Les?}  We send packages, texts, messages... She just sent me a HUUUUUGGGGGEEEEE heavy 17 pound box of goodness that I'll share a pic of.
 It should be here tomorrow.
As I venture back into this crazy craft of scrapbooking I know I can count on her! Love ya Les!

She is AMAZINGLY talented!  She makes me wanna scrapbook again.  :)
