Last year was certainly busy for us - we pretty much have had workmen and builders in our home since September. Although I'm glad to say they've all gone now, and its wonderful to have my life back. That does mean I've an awful lot of cleaning and clearing to do ... but hey, I'm happy with that.
I have big plans this year, but rather than say too much and tempt fate, I'm just going to go with the flow and let the year play out as it will. Last year I did my own little version of project life - and although, I've just got a few pages to finish up, I really enjoyed doing it. So much so, that I decided this year, I'd do the full and proper 12 x 12 version ... so with that in mind, let me show you my title page. I am so far, up to date ... shocking, I know. We also decided on having words to live by this year ... a bit like "one little word" ... but we couldn't decide on just one, so we came up with a few ; Renew, Laugh, Dream and Love.
I've also been scrapping a lot more recently, and almost found again, why I fell in love with scrapbooking in the first place. I'm much more relaxed about it these days and I think that's why I enjoy the process so much more.
Also, with all the work we've been doing, I've had to make the choice to declutter - I still have a lot of Mum & Dads things in our home, and they've been moved around through the work - but I've made the decision to start sorting it out. I think that's even made me feel happier and lighter.
Ok, that's it from me for now, it's just a dip my toe back in the water post, so to speak. And fingers crossed I'll be more regular with my blogging.
Yay!! Its good to see you back in the land of blogging missy

glad to see you back. You are always so very positive with your comments on my blog that I will have to remember to drop by and return the compliment! I love the look of your PL. I just picked up my set and am trying to work out how to make it work for me. Your words are super - renew is mine too. It's such a positive way of thinking about the year to come.
