HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!

Another year has come and gone, we did pretty well. The kids are healthy and still living (they drive us crazy sometimes) LOL. We paid the the truck off, our family/in-law status is better than it was this time last year. I went back to school, I didn't see that one coming at all, all in all I am very happy to see where we are this year.

Last year at this time I challenged myself to do five 2-page layouts each month for our family album. I did really good until the month of November, the only excuse I have is with school and the holiday's, life in general pretty much. But I plan on getting some of those done this next few days. Hopefully.

I've been thinking really hard about what I want my New Years resolutions to be for this year and this is what I've come up with.

1) I want to again, complete five 2-page layouts each month.

2) Create and send birthday-anniversary and other general just because cards and send them out each month. I do or attend all of these workshops where we make cards and I end up not sending out a single one of them. Go figure.

3) I want to continue doing really well in school, I survived the first 12 weeks, lets get on with the next 12 weeks. We will be learning to draw blood and give shots. Let's just hope I don't pass out.

4) To learn I can't change things if others aren't willing to change things themselves. I can only do so much and I need to stop worrying about everyone else's mistakes and screw ups I have enough of my own to deal with.

5) To improve on my parenting skills, and to just remember they are just kids....

6) To grow and expand my Close To My Heart business and customer base.

I think this is a pretty good list to start with. I hope you know that each of you will be helping me with your support through the next twelve months.

I hope each of you have taken the time to look back over the past 12 months and are happy with what you have accomplished and done. May 2009 bring us all even greater joy and memories.

Your friend,

Amber
