National Papercrafting Month - Year Noted Paper Kit

Getting Ready for 2015

Welcome Back!

Winter Break is almost over and the kids will be back in school, that means we will back to our normal schedules again.  In some ways that is great but it also means that the fun of the holidays are over.  

This is Kaela's last "Winter Break" so I have been taking some time to spend with her and the family - so less scrapbooking towards the end of December.  It has been a great time of decorating the house and cooking (oh the food) but now it is back to creative time and Curves for me.  I have been partially cleared by the orthopedic doctor to go back to Curves and it is none too soon because my britches are getting tight and I am feeling sluggish again.  

I am not sure if it is because Kaela is home for the lack of working out but I have my days and nights mixed up again, hence writing the blog at 4am....

Since I am awake I have been getting myself organized for the New Year.

The photo is not the best in the world because I was sneaking.  Kaela is having a sleep over and I was trying to get in - get the shot - and get out without waking up the girls. 

 But what you are looking at is a preview of the first 4 months of the 2015 Workshops we will be working on.

January 22, 2015 Yuletide Carol

Feb 19, 2015  Brushed

March 26, 2015  Wanderful

April 23, 2015  Seaside

May and June will be super busy in the Perry House with the end of the school year (GRADUATION) and the Kaela will be getting ready for a school trip in June.  

July- I have the CTMH Convention to attend and then I will be getting Kaela ready to go off to UNT in the fall.  We also have one last weekend girls road trip planned to Austin to see Idina Menzel in concert. 

August- We will start a whole new batch of Workshops with a new catalog full of beautiful papers to play with!  

Mark your calendars, pre-order your supplies and join me to get some serious scrapbooking done this year.  I can not wait to work on these layouts.

See you soon.

2015 Pop Sugar Reading Challenge

I love to READ almost as much as I love to scrapbook so when I found this new reading challenge on facebook it intrigued me. 

It is not like most "book clubs" in the fact that it does not tell you what books to read what month but rather gives you a list of questions and you find your book based on those questions.

Found on popsugar.com

If you are interested in the facebook page here is the link: 

 https://www.facebook.com/groups/2015bookchallenge/

I love real books, Kindle books and my Audible books!!!!

When I am scrapbooking / Cardmaking I love to listen to books so I do not think I will have a problem finishing this list in the 2015 timeframe.

If you are a avid reader or just enjoy the occasional good book this might be a neat little list to ponder.  

The first book I am starting with is:

For some strange reason I love presidential reads

Stay safe this NYE!
