Happy New Year

A really good friend of mine asked me if I had been thinking about my New Years Resolution. I said no, because they always seem to be the same (save money, lose weight, work out more..blah blah blah).

But since she asked me - I have been thinking about it more and more. I am thinking that in 2009 I am going to be a better friend. I have a lot of people that I know and love. People who are good friends to me, but I am not sure if I am a good friend to them.

Having friends at my age seems like a lot of work compared to when we were kids. I am not sure why that is. I do know that you can never have enough good people in your life and I am glad to have all of you good people.

I hope you have a safe New Years eve and I hope that 2009 brings you closer to what ever Resolutions you have made for yourself.

Love you All

Danielle

They are all hanging on my fridge - which accounts for the funny angles..LOL I will tell you this. These pictures do not do them justice. There is something about a handmade card in person that is lost by camera. I will post more later.

Yikes - Away so Long!

I am so sorry I have been away for so long. December really crept up on me. As you know I have a new job - which has been great. I am learning so many new things and I work with a great group of people.

My Cat has been driving my husband and I crazy!!! He is into this biting thing and bites anything and everything. For this reason we decided NOT to put up the Christmas Tree this year :O( While I am sad, I would be more sad if kitty got the jolt of his life chewing on the lights. I have the week between Christmas and New Years off and will hopefully be using that time to get things settled in my head so I can concentrate on the New Year.

I hope you are having a great Holiday Season and that you have the opportunity to spend time with your friends and family.

Thank you to everyone who sent me Christmas Cards. I will be posting them on my blog this week!

Anyway, I know we are all busy getting ready for the Holiday - but I wanted to let you know about a new promotion Stampin Up has going on - which will get you ready for the next RED holiday (VALENTINES).

A Stampers Christmas Poem

A friend of mine sent this to me in an email. It was so cute I had to share. I hope it brings a smile to your face. :O)

Twas the night before Christmas, I'm glued to the tree.
I'm wondering what Santa brought just for me.
Could it be cardstock or chipboard or lace?
Or a Big Shot, I said, with a smile on my face.
And that's when I heard him,
"Hi Santa, " I said
"You know....good little girls
Should be in their beds."
"I know I should Santa,
And now I've got caught.
But I was just so excited
To see what you brought."
"Well, let's take a look
In this room where you work. "
He shook his head quickly,
And left with a jerk.
I heard him exclaim
As he put it in gear.
"You've got enough crap,
I'll see you next year!"
