Here's to a Happy New Year and resolutions for 2009

time for resolutions, words, challenges and goals.  I myself have several in mind that I want to begin or repeat from last year.
I love the project 365, it is a wonderful way to look back at your year and remember some of the details that happened throughout the year.  I know I missed a few days in picture taking and I'm okay with that, I think...

I'm thrilled with the project 365 that I did this year and plan on doing it again next year.  What a fun way to look back at a year that flew by so quickly!  While I may have missed a few days here and there, I still believe it captured our year in photos quite well.   Although I haven't completed December yet, I wanted to post what I've completed.

high temps for January this year...

So we got to visit with friends this morning that are in town from Florida.  It seems with everyone's crazy schedule they were down to their last day here only having breakfast available to get together.


This afternoon I am meeting up with friends to go to the movies.  I've wanted to see The curious case of Benjamin Button since I first saw the previews of it.  So I hope it lives up...

but I'm glad to be moving on...
Looking forward to a Happy New Year
Christmas Eve was spent at Deb's and is always a fun evening that we spend playing games along with eating and opening gifts.  the white elephant game always proves to be quite fun and this year I decided to sit it out so I could capture the fun that is shared on film.

 

Christmas Day we did our usual Christmas...

Hope you have a fun and relaxing day

Okay not sure how much it has to do with Christmas but this was the view this morning when I came home from working out at the rec at 7:30 in the morning

After months of picking out cars and having one road block to another, we finally drove home our new car today.  I didn't even want to comment about it until I was home with it.
They say things happen for a reason and apparently the problems with the first two cars were meant to be. 
It all started back in March when Chelsea got her car.  We were talking then about trading mine in since...

I spent the better part of this weekend coming up with creative ways to give a gift card.  It is such a simple gift I wanted to add a handmade touch to.
Here are some of my gift card packages
