Happy New year!

So the holidays are over now. They were hard since I couldn't go home to be with my family. But I still had a great Christmas. I was spoiled like usual! Maddie also got spoiled! Everyone sent her out presents and she got so many treats that day, I'm sure she was confused as to what she did that was so good to eat treats all day! We went to see Sherlock Holmes and the theater was so crazy! We got into the theater 30 mins early and still had to sit in the 2nd row! It was a really good movie, but I probably would have enjoyed it more if I was further away from the screen!

One of my Christmas presents from Brad was some money to spend at the scrapbook store. Of course I was all over that! I managed to spend $140 at Scrapbooker's Paradise and I bought some scrapbook storage at Michaels. I bought so much stuff! Especially since I always cruise the sale aisle first and then pick out a few things at regular price. I got some stickles (which I now love!) lots of rub-ons and stickers some flowers and tons of paper! Yesterday I went to Winners and I found scrapbooking felt, so of course I bought 3 packs of it! I have so much stuff now, I just need more pics to scrap!

I've got a little bit of scrapping done over the holidays. I did this LO of my Grampy and Maddie last night with some of the felt I bought yesterday. My Grampy was so funny when he met Maddie, he brought her out treats a couple of times during the night and Maddie being the food motivated dog that she is, never left his side. So Grampy is the dog whisperer! I used some of the new paper I bought and I love them together! This is probably one of my favorite layouts now.
Because I spent so much money at Scrapbooker's Paradise, I got a free magazine - Srapbook & cards today. One of the LO inside inspired this one. This took me a long time to do. I cut out those pink cards by hand and then went around the edge with stickles. In real life this LO is sparkly and shiny. I find I always ruin my layouts when I do my journaling. I hate my hand writing, I think it never looks quite right on my pages. I used some of the new paper in the LO too!
I always have so many pictures from one occasion that I want to scrapbook, so I ordered a photo collage from walmart and it made a lot of my pics smaller so I could use more of them on one page. I used lots of glimmer mist on this. I never know what to call my pages so a lot of them time I use the name of a song or a line from a song. On LO of girls night out I usually try to think of a song that stood out that night (which depending on how much I drank, could be hard). These are pics from a night out in the summer with my high school friends back home. And once again, my ugly hand writing looks awful on the page.
We went to the Flames/Oilers game on New Years eve and had a blast, it was probably one of the best games we've been to all year. After the game we went over to brad's friend's house. We were going to just stop by for an hour or so, but we were having such a good time that we stayed until 2am! Needless to say, I was exhausted yesterday! But I got all my chores done so this weekend I can do whatever I want! Which will probably be more scrapbooking! Tonight we're going to the Flames/Maple Leafs game, so It should be another win for us!

Hopefully this year I will be able to stick with something and continue with this blog on a more regular basis.

Happy New Year!
