Bugging Away...

After working 60 plus hours a week for the last 6 weeks, throw in Thanksgiving and Christmas plus my husband losing his job, I haven't had much time for crafting (other than the Christmas presents we made). Today I cleared out a spot for my cricut and cartridges in our craft/computer room then I turned it on!!

We still have one more Christmas party to go to next Saturday and it is tradition to have an ornament exchange. I didn't have an ornament last year (and maybe not even the year before) so this year I am determined. I wasn't sure what I was going to make until I found a post on the Cricut MB featuring a snowflake. I should be able to complete 20 of them by Saturday. I will be sure to post pics when I finish plus look for the post so I can give proper credit to the lady I am lifting the idea from.

I also decided that this year I am going to complete a full year scrapbook. What I plan to do is do a calendar page, a journaling page and a layout(s) of pics for each month. I have Designer's Calendar that I used my Cricut rewards points on last year so why not use it and make the calendars, right? I made January's today. It's a little plain right now but towards the end of the month I plan to write details from the month on it.


Completing a full scrapbook... sounds like another goal to add to my list for the year. Speaking of which I went through my overflowing inbox of emails and picked a few to look at challenges. I am contemplating ones featuring song lyrics, sketches and cards. Have to see which I decide to do... maybe all 3?
