Frohes Neues Jahr!

   or Happy New Year! I guess my resolution for the New Year should be to post more often :) I can't even say that I have a good excuse, life just got in the way. With Christmas and all the preparations, more parties and school functions and the pages I committed to making, it was just too much. I am going to keep it short today, just post all the pages I didn't get in here yet. I am almost done with my December book, I just have to do yesterday's and the front page and cover. Yeah!!! At the end I couldn't stand doing the same templates again and again. Now I committed to doing a photo a day for the year! Project 365 seems to be really popular. At least I don't have to do a page every day, there are templates for the week. That shouldn't be too bad. Anyhow, here are some pages

 

 

 

 

 

That is going to be the book. some of it is really not very personal, but some days are just really boring in this house, nothing special happens. I spend a lot of time on my laptop making pages, but how many pictures of that can one take :) I better become more creative here.

Here are some of the other pages I did. Gabrielle had the role of a drama teacher in the Christmas school play. She was great! this one is for our piano teacher. Her dogs are her babies and I promised her pages for an album we gave her last year. So far she has only 3 pages, poor thing.

Oh my gosh, this was so fun. these pics are from our annual choir party. Our director did this rap routine with her hubby, she had us in stitches! It was really good and the delivery was awesome!

Here I tried my hands at a little art journaling! I kind of like the results, although it really isn't my regular style. Very relaxing though. You can't really do anything wrong with it.

This last one I just finished last night. I took the picture last night and I really liked it, even if it isn't the sharpest. I rarely get a good picture of hubby and this one is just so cute! Wow, this was a lot of pictures to post! Now I have to think about what pictures to take every day.

Christmas was really nice. the kids were happy with the things Santa brought them, even if some wishes weren't fulfilled. I got some neat stuff, like new boots and a purse. Then hubby told me to order something I really want, which is the Nikon D300. It's on it's way and I am so excited. I will finally be able to use my 50 mm on autofocus. I hardly ever get a good shot with it now because I am too blind to focus manually :) Life is good! I have to buy new memory cards for it, the size is different. They wanted to sell me those high speed ones for 99$. I almost fell over. I am going to have to check on that. I didn't even know there were different speeds for those. Goes to show how ignorant I am. I will put a post at DD and see if Katrina knows anything about that.

The weather here is mixed. We had 57 degrees just a few days ago, now it is freezing but sunny with a little dusting of snow on the ground. The kids really wanted a white Christmas but all we got was lots of rain and wind.

Our vacation is booked! We will be going to Cancun on the 23rd. I can't wait! It's been 2 years since we last went because of my passport last year. Now we are all set! With my credit card points I got 3 airline tickets free, yeah.

Okay, this is it for today! Hopefully I will keep my resolution to post more frequently, so you don't have to look at these endlessly long pages again!
