Happy Sunday Evening,

I was able to get my February Wallhaging done.  I will wait till the end of February when I take it down to send it off to be machine quilted.  Here is a picture of the finished top:

This hangs on the wall at the bottom of the stairs behind our front door.  I already have March - May made and quilted.  I will show them here on the first of every month.

I also made this wonder pound cake tonight for the family to snack on this week.  I put a few slices in the freezer so I can toast them with my morning coffee.  Yummy!

Hope all of you had a great weekend and I will be back tomorrow with a few Card Challenges from the weekend and the Mojo Monday Challenge.

Goodnight,

Happy Friday-

Thought I would share my last 2 POD (Picture of the Day). The first one is of our white boxer Riley curled up on our bed last night.  He blends right into our feather comforter.  As you can probably see in the photo he has transferred mud to the cover, because after cold weather comes the dreaded thaw and he brings in tons of mud from the back yard.

The next picture is a card I mad from the Coffee Kit by Mish Mash.  She makes up kits and sell them on Etsy.  I was one of the lucky ones and got this kit.

I am working today on my wallhanging will hopefully have a picture this weekend.

Enjoy your weekend.

Becky

Hello Everyone in Blog Land:

I have been MIA, but I have been doing a few things.  On our way home after Christmas we go across the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel to get from the Peninsula to Va. Beach where we live.  After you come out of the tunnel to the right you can see the ships in port at Norfolk Naval Station.  I took this picture and thought I would post it.  The words say everything:

I have also been living my word of the year-"DREAM".  I made this journal for everyday notes, websites, blogs and things I need to do and remember.

I also cleaned up my Scrap Space and put my ribbon in a vase I found downstairs.  It makes me smile when I look at it now it is so pretty.

I have also put together and have been keeping up with Project Life by Becky Higgins.  The purpose is to take a picture a day and journal about that day.  At the end of the year you have everything doucumented and done.  To fine out more about Project Life click here.

I will continue to give you updates on my Project Life as the days go by.

I am also working right now on a wall hanging for February.  I haven't done any quilting since last year and I still have the month of May up on the wall, so I thought I would at least get the top pieced for February

so that I can hang it up this year.  I will post a picture when I complete it. 

I will be putting hand sewn items and paper items up for sale this year that I have made so be on the look out.  They will either go on Etsy or Ebay.  I will let you know when I get enough made to post for sale.

Have a great evening-

Statement for 2010:  Dream Big - Every Moment Counts

That is the way I am going to live everyday in 2010.  I want awesome things to happen in my life personally and creatively and great big things to happen within my family.  I couldn't keep it to just one word for the year so it is my statement instead.

I hope all of you have a wonderful New Years Eve and a Great Day tomorrow.  Remember Dream Big and make every moment count!

Before I go I found this saying on this blog.  I think it says perfectly what we all need to be thinking, feeling and doing in 2010.  Click on image to enlarge.

Happy Holidays!

I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday and are looking forward to a great New Year!  I am going to be doing some new and exciting things come this new year.  I am going to be doing Project Life by Becky Higgins.  You can find out more about it here.  I am going to try to take a picture a day and journal about that day also.  I am very excited about this.   When Becky Higgins was with Creative Keepsakes the kit was called Project 365, which you probably have heard more about. 

Memoryworks also has a kit coming out that is called Simple Stories.  You can click here to find out more about there system.  I will be using there system and the project life system thru the year.  If you would like to order the Memoryworks system my ID# is MW379158.  Memoryworks is a great company and you will be seeing more about them on my blog in 2010.

I am also thinking of my word for the year.  I have been following Ali Edwards blog here, and I have to finish my December Daily Album and figure out what my word for 2010 will be.  I think this is a great idea and it will be something that I will aim for and live by in 2010.

Another person I have been following this year and will continue to follow is Stacy Julian.  Her view of just getting the memories written down is where I am in life right now.  I want to make sure that my children have the pictures and words to look back on with their children in the future; but I want it to be done in a simplified way.  I don't have the time anymore, as I'm sure a lot of you don't, to get all intricate and layered with my scrapbooking.  She has a system to just get the memories on paper that is the most important.  You can read mor about her here.

I will leave you with a picture of my family that we had done before Christmas at JC Penny's where my daughter Courtney works.

I hope all of you have a great New Years and I will be back to blogging on a regular basis in 2010.

Thanks,

Awed & Inspired....

If you need to reaffirm who you are and why you are here.  If you thank God for everyday that you are here on this earth for Family , Friends, Your Husband and Children, then take a few moments and read this Inspiring Story of Stephanie Nielson and her fight to regain all the thing that we take for granted everyday.  Read more here.

I will be posting My first December Daily pages in the next few days.  Christmas is approaching quickly and I haven't done any shopping.  I better hit the stores this weekend.  Tree is up and my lights on the outside are done.  My DH has been busy with work and hasn't gotten the rest of the house done yet.

Have a great evening.
