I am trying hard ..............

To keep my blog updated on a regular basis, I think in alot of ways it will be an awesome tool to make sure I continue to regularly journal and track life in general. I know I constantly find so much inspiration from those who update their blogs on a regular basis ~ and especially the scrapbooker in me loves to see the updated work of the wonderful talented ladies I know ~ so thank you Mona, Janine, Trisha, Lynn, Kristine, Tracey and Corri to name a few who post their creations and update their blogs on a regular basis ~ simply you inspire me.

I have a scrapbook retreat coming up at the end of the month ~ and I wish I could bring a computer haha, so that I would have all this lovely inspiration at my finger tips for when I could use it most, while I have the time to scrapbook for hours at a time. :-) So at the moment as I don't have this option, I am trying to soak up daily all the inspiration I can find, so that once I get to the retreat I am raring and ready to get creating ~ I am quite excited about this retreat, as I have been to this location once before (my first and only retreat so far) and know so much better what to expect, and how to prepare. It's with a group of people that I never see at any other time, so it will be nice to visit and catch up with them all also ~ I see a couple late night ~ early morning scrap and chat times coming up, and this time I am going to bring movies, books and magazines and have some relaxing rejuventation time as well. :-)

My condo association is redo-ing all the windows in the next couple weeks as well, and that is going to be a huge packing and moving session with my craft/computer room ~ don't know what kind of notice we are going to get before they actually schedule my condo in, making me a bit nervous ~ life has been busy the last little while, as well as I have been ill with a stomach flu ~ so of course nothing has been done to this point, and as all the windows are to be done, not sure where we are suppose to put it all when we have to move it haha. And at the same time I am trying to organize and get ready for a retreat ~ I am in a bit of a tizzy, and time is just flowing by.

I am excited to say I have another crop weekend coming up in February as well !!! Going to attend the Scraptacular 2 event in Cold Lake ~ very excited about this one as well ~ totally new experience, and a whole different group of awesome ladies to spend the weekend creating away with :-) Have to say starting out 2008 on a strong high, going to have to keep it up, with spending more time with friends and some quality time with family ~ and already I do believe 2008 is going to be a very good year!
