Here are my first 3 weeks.  Except I have to fix the date on one of them... ughhh!   I've got one more week in January and then tomorrow February's prompts begin. 

I seen this idea in the Designing with 2007 calendar!
I still have to cut them out and add them to chipboard to make a coupon book or key chain.  But here's Zach

List 5 things you wish to improve upon, in the coming year.
 
1. Clutter - My husband always teases me that it's not the size of the house but the amount of "stuff" which I have accumulated over the years that fills our house. I will reduce the amount of items in my house so that I have more time for other things instead of dusting and cleaning all the "stuff".
2.  Time management - Better...

Need to get going on the latest challenge...
Emily  has a phenomenal challenge on her blog--use a deck of cards, one each week, to keep an art journal. 52 cards/52 weeks in a year.
I've got one card done I need to get my other 3 weeks done.  So far the prompts are:

We had such a good time this night - I think it shows in the pictures. 

Well finally I've found some time to work on some fun projects.  One of them is this fun purse I made from a Stampin up journal.  I added the 7 gypsies handles and chipboard from both Stampin up and 7 gypsies.

It's an American Crafts D ring album that holds 6 X 6 pages.  I used Chatterbox papers, HKS flowers and altered my own chipboard...

Here are more of the pages I completed.  I figure better late then never!  While there are still a couple details I would like to add, for the most part I am done and thrilled that I followed it through!
