Happy New Year!!!!!

Well, it's now 2008 and the hoopla's over. I hope you enjoyed your celebration and was able to spend it with those you love. Here's a brief recap of my great meal but very boring evening. We have the same New Years Eve dinner every year. This year, it was made a little nicer by the gift Shannon's boss gave him, Omaha Steaks. I got home from work and the sweetie he can be was sitting at the kitchen table, writing out a menu. I was working on the computer and he brought it in to me. It was for 3 meals, lol, including breakfast this morning (steak & eggs) and football game appetizers for later in the day. He marked the breakfast part, made with love. I guess he still has his little romantic side. So of course, I had to scrap the sentiment.
This was made with Heather Manning's Flashy New Year kit available at PDW. I love this kit but just haven't found good photos of mine to scrap with it. So I'll use it for yet another list.

Anyway, we ate and it was heavenly. We played a little bit more with the Guitar Hero. I'm now on the medium level, but damn it's hard. We watched some of Shrek 2 and when the meal put Shannon down for the count, I jumped on the net and caught up with the chat's at DST. It's amazing how fast those chats move. And so many people. Heather's chat was a great success! She gave away coupons/g.c. to her store including a 1 time use 100% off one. Some lucky scrapper will have fun with that. Then when there was about 10 minutes left I went to watch the ball drop and wake up my sweetie for my midnight kiss. He said, "same time next year?" and I said, "same place!" Sweet ain't it. But it was really hard to watch Dick Clark. Don't get me wrong, it was good to see him, but I grew up with Dick Clark; between American Bandstand (in the 70's) and watching the ball drop almost every year with him since 76 (I think that was my first one). It's just sad to watch him suffer so.


Here are 2 more LO's that I had worked on. This one was done with Heather's Dirt Don't Hurt and Stacked Frames. And for my Christmas book, from her Grungy Christmas Fun, with template by Andrea Gold.


I was saddened, but not surprised to get the email last night that OAKS will be closing the shop as of Jan 31st, with the gallery & forums already down. I was very much enjoying my time over there, not to mention the little perks. But I think that if I just focus more on my scrapping maybe I'll find my lost mojo or at least get back to where I was in October. The only bad thing is that for about 1 1/2 months, all my lo's were uploaded to OAKS. Now I need to decide if I want to go upload them elsewhere or let em be. Either way, I shall miss the girls over there and wish them all the best of luck.

Well, it's about time to go look into breakfast. Yum! Plus I need to go off and say hello to all my friends in blogville. Happy New Year to all! May 2008 be everything you wish for and more.
