I hope you are all having a wonderful new year!! More importantly, getting to enjoy all those new Christmas goodies before the real world calls us back on Monday! I know that I have been playing with my new toys and have been putting a dent in all my gift cards. Santa was good to me this year.....and the hubs has been good to take me out shopping a couple days!

I have been working on my craft new years resolutions and here is what I have come up with:

1) Keeping my craft area clean. My craft room is in my laundry room and there were times during Christmas that I had to put off laundry because I had crafty goodness all over the place. I didn't have an issue with this....my hubby did.....

2) Trying to use up the rest of my 8.5 x 11 paper. I started scrapbooking over 10 years ago now, and when I did 8.5 x 11 was the paper size to use. I still have a 3" binder full of paper and I would like to finish using that up.

3) Post to my blog 2 times a week. Hopefully this will keep me a little more motivated to finish projects in a timely manner :-)

4) Submit to be on a Design Team....and getting on one would be an added bonus!!

5) Complete challenges on a challenge blog. I have already started this with Flaunt it Fridays!! So far I have done all the challenges (except one over Christmas) and I love it!!
I'm going to type these up and keep them in my craft room to help keep me motivated!!

On to my project. This one was to do with resolution 2. The patterned paper in the background is 8.5 x 11. The bird and the "Your a Hoot" on the inside are both from "Straight from the Nest" The hubby got this for me right after thanksgiving....and since I have been all tied up in my Christmas carts this is one like the 2nd time I've used this. It's super cute and with spring coming up I think It will be used alot!!
