1-1-11

I thought I'd pop in with a quickie blog post today, just because I wanted to use that cool date as a title... :D

I'm not going to do a big recap of my year or wax poetically on  2010... the thought of that is way too overwhelming right now for the amount of sleep I've had in the past 24 hours, and while I don't want to write off the entire year as being a bad one, let's just say that I'm hoping 2011 will be a less stressful one for my family. I have some goals and aspirations in mind, as we all do at this time of year, and I hope that I'll have enough willpower and presence of mind to push myself to attain them... I need to kick myself in the butt and just DO!

I'll leave you with a layout I did this past week, inspired by a few Pioneer Woman tweets that were hilarious about how she was going to celebrate the last year of the decade... but then realized that this past year WAS the last decade. LOL. That made me realize that indeed 10 years had passed since my son was born,( remember the big hoopla about Y2K babies? :D) and this layout came about. I don't do 12x12 layouts very often, but after I couldn't get my photos to fit on an 8x11 (and doing a 2 page spread was more than I had time for) it worked out perfectly. It totally freaks me out that the sweet tiny baby in the upper right corner is now the big kid in hockey gear.And also that I'm 10 years older as well. ;p

Wishing all of you the very best in 2011, may it be a year of health, happiness and peace of mind!
