Pay Attention!

Here's my layout for the 1-7-2010 Sketchy Thursdays Challenge!  I loved how this turned out!

I ALSO used prompt #5 at Point Blank Period.  I chose to speak about a decision I made for 2010 and that's to Pay Attention to my babies.  I mean, REALLY pay attention.  Hold them more, spend one-on-one time with them more and just shoot-the-breeze more!  I really need to make it a point to spend quality time with them...because I am reminded by MANY parents that time goes so fast and in a blink of an eye, you could miss it.  I don't want to miss too much!

I'm enjoying all these "resolutions" type prompts at all the challenge blogs!  I'm really trying hard to do different resolutions for different challenges!  For this particular layout, I used the Monstrosity line by Sassafras because I love to call my kids "MONSTERS"!  They're cute ones though!

Here's the journaling.  My kids are HUG FREAKS!  They love to hug and kiss...to the point where I'm like "okay, time to do other things".  I know one day I'll miss it all soooo much.  Especially when that day comes when they will be too embarrassed to hug and kiss their Mommy.

I played with these cute turquoise shell buttons I got at the craft store.  I got a whole stinkin' package and I LOVE IT!!!!

I love this photo of Gabe taken on his birthday where he is chomping down on this HUGE lollipop!  I kept saying, "You better enjoy this kid!" because I let him eat as much of it as he wanted!

The other picture is a photo I took of Isabel during spirit week at her school.  This particular day was "western" day so we hunted around the house for items she could wear.  Luckily, I had this shirt that fit her and it went so well with the rest of her outfit!  She was so happy she got to dress up.  I felt bad because we missed a couple fun days like "crazy hair day" and "sports jersey day" which she really wanted to do...but....what can I say...I FORGOT!!!

This year I plan on doing LESS forgetting and MORE remembering!!!

TIME TO PAY ATTENTION!

There's still time to play along with the 2 prompts!!!  Check out the linky links and spend some crafty time with yourself!

Out with the OLD.....

Aaaaaahhhhhh.  As much as I LOVE the Holidays....I am soooooo relieved when it's over!!!!

I have had good food and seen my family almost everyday for some reason or another.  My sis Emmy is visiting from California and I am sooo appreciative of my family.

I've had some recent fun news but will share someday soon!...heh heh

I just wanted to say how thankful I am for all of you and for all the goodness in my life.  I actually sat there on Christmas day at a family party just looking around and I was tearing up because I was just so darn happy for supportive family, great family friends, good food, health, peace and just having the job I do (even though I complain).

This past year we've done some great things as a family and we've got MAJOR plans next year.  I took TONS of photos this year and I am so proud of myself.  I've also expanded my scrapping skills and had the opportunity to nurture and develop it!  It's amazing the growth!

But...as I am a PISCES...I LOVE LOVE LOVE me some CHANGE!  So, I'm working on my Resolutions and plans for the New Year!  I'm playing around with some new bloggy things and I may even retitle the blog!

I hope to keep to the Man of the Week because I enjoy doing them....and I hope you all do too!  I just have had many unexpected issues in the last couple months so slacked a bit on the posting on Mondays...sorry!

So...as I'm working on my resolutions...I'm curious....WHAT ARE YOURS?
