Have a Happy New Years Eve ~!

WOW~! 2010 is just around the corner ~!

When it turned the year 2000 I thought that was weird to say, but for some reason saying 2010 seems even stranger. Technology has gone crazy in the past 10 years and just when you think you are up to date, they come up with some new technology that blows you away. I saw a commercial the other day for a phone with of course internet, movie capability etc. - no big deal in the year 2009 ... lol. But this one also has a built in projecter, so whatever is on the screen of the phone can be projected onto a television screen with a push of a button. Can you say ... OMG?. You wonder how far it will go. Children being born now will have NO idea what it was like before this 'space' age (as I like to call it). But is technology taking over the world? I think it definately could~!! And it's actually kinda scary ... lol.

S ... L ... O ... W ... down, my head is spinning~!!! I just transferred all my old Super 8 films on to DVD and its already almost outdated!!! How can you possibly preserve the past if you can't keep up with the present~!! lol

With all the digital pictures and digital movies and this and that, I still think book in hand is the way to go. Which is why printing digital scrapbooks is still so fun. It's like all the e-books you can get now - but who wants to read a book on a screen? I can't get into that and I would still rather hold the book, curl up on the couch and read. Which is why I think printing pictures might never go out of style. (I know, never say never!).

One of the things I received for Christmas was a 10" Digital Photo frame. It's great~! You can view the pics like a slide show and even have music playing etc. But, that doesn't mean I won't print any pictures again.

So on with Digital Scrapbooking ~~~~ may future generations cherish the pages we create today~!

So for the year 2010 ~ I wish you a healthy, happy, prosperous year with many occasions to treasure and scrapbook~!

Can you say ... exhausted?

Mental exhaustion is the worst! lol Today I feel drained and I know its not from physical activity ... lol. But I think mental exhaustion is much worse. As soon as Christmas is over I get this total body/mind shutdown and I'm pretty sure its just the 'it's over' syndrome. I'm not even sure if that is normal but I get it every year.

Christmas was very nice though. We spent time with both families and did alot of driving but it was really nice to see everyone. My great nephew Devin has grown sooo much. He's 3 months old and as strong (and heavy) as a bull~!



I hope all of you had a great Christmas. Now on to the New Year~!

Have a great week and I'd love to hear from you. You can comment in my Cbox on the right side of this blog or below this post.

Merry Christmas ~ ! Well, almost ...

Wow, 2 more days! Well, I'm about as ready as I'm ever going to be. But I'm tired. We've had company and just endless running around. But don't you just love it when something unexpected just makes you smile?. I was on my way to bed the other night and going around and turning out all the Christmas lights and I was tired. I went into our living room where I have Christmas candles above the fireplace (fake ones with bulbs ... lol) and I reached up to find the switch under the fake snow ... lol ... and there was my cat Nemo. He had made himself perfectly comfortable in between all the clutter on top of the cotton snow. It was sooo adorable. He looked so cozy.







As tired as I was, it just perked me right up and of course I had to run and get the camera!. But animals have a way of doing that to me. And they don't even know how cute they look ... lol.

Anyways, Christmas is almost upon us and it's a great time to spend with family. We always make sure we get together every year even if it's just for a short time. I hope you all get a chance to spend time with your family as well~!

Soooooo today I put this frame into LLL Creations Dollar Mart;



You can get the frame here for only $1.00 or
just go through LLL Creations Dollar Mart under the Frames category.

The layout below shoes the size of the frame on a 12x12 inch layout.
The picture is from a few years back. My daughter had moved to Oregon, USA for a year and she came home for Christmas. Thankfully, they moved back to Canada after a year because she was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too far away~!



And there is still one week left for my December Promotion.

One of the papers is shown in the layout above in this post.
As usual I would love to hear your comments~!
Have a great Christmas and see you after the big day~!

Ahhh...... One Day Early ...

I was going to post this in the morning ... but what the heck ... it's Christmas! lol.

I got the cutest picture in my Christmas card from my nephew and his wife. It's of my great Nephew Devin!



What a cutie~! I've only seen him once and he is 3 months old!!! But, I get to see him Christmas Day ... yay!

Babies change so quickly it's amazing. The mom even said she already misses the 'new born' stage ... lol. Well, after spending litterly weeks converting all my old videos onto DVD, I have to say - You don't appreciate videos until YEARS later. Then you realize how amazing it is to have them. At the time they are taken, it is really no big deal. Then years later you watch them and say WOW! I wish I had more. I bought a video camera when my daughter was 9 and basically used it like crazy until she was about 13 or 14. Then stopped. (She's 27 now! and in almost every layout I do ... lol) After a few years the camera had seized up and didn't work anymore. So I have a 'limited time line' of videos. I did end up buying a new video camera about 4 years ago but I haven't used it much. But watching the videos really makes me want to use it again. Especially with a new baby around~!

Oh my ... Christmas is almost here~!!!
