home...sort of:)
Hi, we're home!!
(I just had a nice long post and then my internet froze and ate it...so here we go with take 2.)
No rest for the weary...I am working steadily until the end of the week with a few CHA sample projects, so I won't be able to post much until then. To keep you entertained, here are a few pictures:)

LOTD from Feb 3:
annnnd....I have an extra copy of the February SCRAPBOOKS ETC magazine......if you would like it, pop your name and email into my comments below and I will draw a winner on Thursday! We'll have a little party and celebrate:) Friday will be the beginning of phase 2 of 2008...so far, phase 1 has been getting all my CHA work finished, phase 2 will be implementing more of my goals and projects I brainstormed about over the Holidays:) fun times:)
Speaking of phase 2 and new things: Congrats need to go out to a few peeps today: To Stephanie and Jimmy on the birth of their sweet little girl Sadie (with all the amazing hair!!)...to Colleen for buying the digital SLR which will now make her vintage treasure pictures even more jealousy inducing, and to Candice for the opening of her new shop: Peacoats and Party Hats!!
Wahoooo!! Such awesome new things to come home to!!! Way to go ladies!!!
Have a great few days of happy crafting:)
