Into the New Year...

I guess 2007 has officially started. For me it's come in like a lion. Had a horrible cold starting on New Years Eve and still have it 10 days later. Sniffles, headache, fatigue, crankiness. 2007 is not starting out well. Now apparently we're going to get blasted with another bout of winter. Estimated snowfall for tonight is approx. 15 cm, blustery winds, and -20 degree C temps. Add some windchill to that and we're probably talking -30 again. The one good thing....another blanket of snow would cover all the brown snowbanks we have now. Brown snow is just ugly and depressing to look at. Of course it also means someone will have to shovel the driveway...

I found these really neat paper ornaments this year for my tree. I did not get all made that I wanted to, but next year I plan to cover my christmas tree in similiar paper ornaments. These were precut, prescored ornaments from Basic Grey patterned papers. There is the star that is quite visible, plus there is the round ornament in upper left of picture as well. Every year I try to add one type of homemade ornament to my christmas tree. This year was kind of late, and I almost gave up on this tradition until I was browsing ebay and saw these kits. Very cute.

I guess for the new year I must make my resolutions. In honesty, I don't particularly feel like doing so, but I will.

Resolution #1. Be more organized.
I'm already struggling with this.
Resolution #2. Organize my craft room.
I've already begun this, but it will take some monetary funds to finish this, so it will have to be delayed at this point.
Resolution #3. Of course to loose weight. I've already weighed myself and taken measurements for the record. I've decided to do this at the end (or beginning) of each month. I must say I'm sorely failing at this resolution already.
Resolution #4. Start doing scrapbook techniques instead of dreaming of them.
Resolution #5. Finish all the starts (a whopping total of 2) of cross stitch that I have, in order to start a fresh new miribillia and a fresh new Chatelaine design. I'm well on my way in this resolution!

OK. That's enough resolutions for the start of this year. Definately managable ones, so we'll see how I do.

I think that is enough resolutions to keep me busy
