So, I've been...

...keeping myself busy in 2010. Trying to take care of some things that I've somehow neglected both personally and physically, and return to some of my hobbies that I used to enjoy.

...going to the doctor, seems I have tendinitis in my shoulder, elbow AND wrist.:



tendinitis/bursitis in shoulder

Hurts really bad, wouldn't wish this on anyone. But I'm still gonna use my laptop.
UH, can't imagine WHAT I'd do if I couldn't!


...eating more healthy, and thinking about what type of exercise I can start.
Got this at home:

Evil Alien Weight System lurks in corner!

...planning on attending our 30th Class Reunion this year. Can't wait to see the new school, heard it was really nice. Missed my 20th reunion. Man, 30 years!

Neptune Sr. High (when I attended)

...saving to get a new wedding/anniversary ring. I'm worth it!

Looked around in Zales and I like this one:

three stone antique white gold

...plotting to get one of these, too:

Zune HD 32

Totally touch, radio, video, wireless! Beats my old hand-me-down one.

Who knows, maybe I'll get one for my birthday!

...cleaning and restoring the basement after the mini-renovation:

Thanks to my wonderful handyman hubby who is very gifted and a blessing.

Before the holidays he painted & finished the baseboards & trim & added carpet & laminate wood flooring. I LOVE it!

...re-organizing my scrap space:

The way it was...

The basement renovation has given me a chance to re-organize my space and add some additional storage. With the weight bench in the space now, I have to downsize my stash and get rid of some of my older goodies. I'm having a bit of fun with this idea, as I love to organize. Feels like a garage sale coming on!!

I've added 4 more shelves to the right:

now my paper tower has to go :(

so I've ordered this to store my 12 x 12 papers:

Cropper Hopper Easy Access
12x12 paper holder

I've also made my peg board smaller to fit in this area:



and maybe I'll paint or decopage the board too!

...shopping and spent my Christmas gift cards at my fav scrap stores:

Hobby Lobby & Memories In Bloom

It's been awhile and it sure felt good cause I got some great deals.

...creating! Got a few projects going on and I'm having fun!
I'm joining in on the SOC We Scrap Too 6 x 6 page swap and got my album @ 50% off!
Yay for me!!!!

Memory Makers is having a publishing page call and you can submit up to ten pages!

And for 2010, I've created another calendar through Shutterfly:



one from 2009

Got lots of complements on the last one and they had a 30% off sale last week. They've got another one going on so stop by and create one!




...So, I've been all of the above and then some! I'm enjoying catching up on all the things I've missed, and following through on some of the things I need to get done (this blog, included)!

I hope you've been encouraged too! Now go and...
