Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!  Can you believe it, 2012 already??  I honestly do not know where time goes these days.  It seems like the minute I feel like I have a handle on things and am "organized" something sneaks up on me and I am back in the rat race again. 

I refuse to set New Year's Resolutions as they usually end up getting broken anyway.  I have set goals and even managed to finish up my dream board for 2012.  This blog is on that dream board so I guess I am on my way to success!

My hope is that this blog will inspire everyone to preserve their memories for future generations.  Scrapbooking is about reflection and the moments that make up our wonderful and crazy lives.  It doesn't have to be perfect it just has to be.  So please join me for some scrap therapy and enjoy yourself.

Wishing you scrappy goodness and a wonderful New Year!
