It's Begun!!!

The first box arrived today - with fanfare and announcement by Mo (she always barks at the UPS guy!)

Isn't it fun to speculate what's inside this wonderful cardboard box? I can tell you it came from Cosmo Cricket! But even I haven't peeked to see what's inside yet. Just enjoying the delicious anticipation... thought I'd share it with you!

New Year's Resolutions

Do you have one? or two?

Do any of them involve scrapbooking? Not that they have to, but this little hobby of ours maintains my sanity, which is definitely part of my annual resolutions list!

To prove I'm working hard on keeping my resolutions at least until the end of the month of January, I posted some of my creations from this month in our gallery.

I hope you'll check them out and post some of your own! And yes, you have to 'join' in order to view the goodies up close, but that just means that you'll also get to chat with us on the message board and be an Mega Meet insider!

See you there and chat with you soon!
