Ahhh, December 2009 and looking back the year started off pretty sad for me in the world of scrapbooking with my very favorite magazine Simple Scrapbooks coming to a close. But things got better, in my mind anyway, when I saw that lots of the old Simple Scrapbookers formed Write. Click. Scrapbook. a free online blog kind of thing that comes out every month with a new theme and somthing like 30 pages from some of the Simple Gals we all know and love. Things got a LOT better - fabulous in fact - when I got an email from Lain Ehmann asking me to be a part of her and Angie Lucas's new ezine and ebooks service called Ella Publishing. Then I got to attend Summer CHA in Orlando - by some fluke it was in Florida and therefore close to me this year - and probably this year only - its back in Chicago Summer 2010; my big takeaway from CHA was that I am in love with KaiserCraft. Seriously, its love people, you can find them at And just this morning, I "discovered" another new scrapbooking magazine called Scrapbooks and Cards Today and one of my favorite Simple Scrapbookers Emily Pitts is on their 2010 design team. So congrats Emily! & you all can read all about it and enter a contest on Emily's blog.
Here's a little year in review - or at least 12 pages from 2009 - you'll notice most of them are from the summer - but I did go on a bit of a scrapbooking hiatus this fall - as I am known to do and am completely OK with - and I'm thinking I'm back and full of pages I'd like to create - but here's a quick look back at 2009 from my scrapbooking desk:
My kids are cute aren't they, I just love those faces, they are my number one favorite thing to scrapbook about. But in 2010, I've got the itch to travel and I'm thinking I'll be making lots of pages for the "Places We Go" album.
Ok, go to run, I've got an appt this morning & hoping they are going to say I'm A-OK - so wish me luck.
