nearing the end of 2009

How was everyone's Christmas?
Good I hope.
Ours was wonderful.
The girls were soooooooooooo excited this year.
We believe this is the last "Santa" year"
for our 9 1/2 year old.
Too many questions this year,
not to mention she found 2 Santa gifts,
for her sister,
we subsequently had to let family give:)
But, all-in-all, it was blessed.
I am still in my very unmotivated state.
But yesterday I suddenly had an inspiration attack
and ended up doing 5 layouts.
I'm only showing 3,
though the other 2 are my favs!!
These pics are 2 years old,
but when I came across them,
I smiled & realized how much I miss this age.
This is the "diaper wearing, running stiff-legged,"
2-year old age!! You know what I'm talking about!!
This next one is pictures from Christmas morning.
LOVE the look on my 5-year olds face.
In her words, "this is the best Christmas ever!!"
I did use some mist on this page,
which resulted in the warped edges.These pics are from Christmas 2006.
With the Cosmo Cricket chipboard,
I wanted to create a layout about her gingerbread house.
Nothing fancy & I still feel it's lacking,
but it's already tucked away.

I'm already anxious to get our Christmas decor put away.
We're having a New Year's Eve get-together
& could use the extra floor space.
Unfortunately, I think hubby wants to wait until Friday.
So, I guess that leaves me
to clean some more & scrap.
What else is a girl to do:)
Hope you have a wonderful New Year!!
