Today we are cleaning out drawers, throwing out the old and donating the gently worn and loading in the new....like socks...Just like there are new laws for a new year, at our house, the new law is that when we throw socks into the hamper, they MUST be deposited in as a pair. I will let you know how many violations occur...
I am also working on a new little project called {Make It}(located on the upper right sidebar) where you will be inspired (I hope!) to create or re-create based on the project featured. I am excited to announce that the online store Scrapbook N Stickers is my NEW sponsor for this project and besides my little {Make It} project, you will see more from Kim Hodges, Scrapbookn'Stickers and moi in the future!
Last for today..this coming year I am participating in Ali's "One Little Word" 2011 class over at Big Picture Classes. as a student!! Personally, I have not decided on my word, but have a few in mind and still have a few days to refine the list (yes, I have a list!) Click here to read about my word from last year.
and just because I love to share...here are a few photos from out trip to the slopes yesterday...
I would love to tell you that it was snowing when we got there because it was dang cold enough, but actually, it was the resort making snow...but the kids still loved it:
This guy put on a pair of ski's (first time in 20 years) and besides one set of the splits, he never hit the ground:
and just a quick shot of the kiddos:
Wondering what I did??...I call myself a "Lodge Mom" and that I was...I sat stitched, read a new book..and loved it!
My kind of trip! I think you've got all you need for a family trip to PA! Sending an email...be sure to check!

I'm so loving your Make It project! Just the thing to get my creative juices flowing again. Will we be able to post our versions or comment on yours sometime?

I would love to feature your art work on my blog this year if possible. I try to do positive posts and those that are life affirming and your art is just beautiful. I hope to be able to purchase some of it this year. I want to use it in accordance with my word of the year which is nurture.
I hope you are having a lovely holiday

Let me know if the trick with the socks works...I know there must be some bottomless pit for socks out there somewhere! Happy New Year.
