Edited to add card:

Good Morning everyone!!! I can't believe this is the last day of 2010!
WOW how time flies!!!

Friday is time for our Fresh Brewed Friday challenge at Paper Craft Planet and Latte Lounge!
The challenge this week is HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! and instead of taking time to make a card (which I am in the process of) I created this fun image for you all to enjoy!

I, for one, can barely make it to midnight... and for some reason ESPECIALLY on New Years Eve!!! lol! I remember last year I passed out on the couch AS the ball was dropping! LOL!!! I remember trying to force my eyes open. :D




I do hope you enjoy this new image! You can find her HERE in the shop under the category Holidays. The sentiment is included.

Freshly Brewed Challenge 28

WOW! Has it been two weeks already? Goodness how time flies!!! I do hope everyone had a very Merry and Blessed Christmas. We spent a lot of family time together and are still enjoying the rest of the week that my husband has off from work. Here is a silly pic I took of us all before we drug the kids out to hand out candy canes :D. I wonder if my little girl will be as easy to go along with this next year or will she start getting embarrassed by her crazy parents? We will see :D
Over at Paper Craft Planet and The Latte Lounge we are having lots of fun!!! There are always things going on and lots of chatting :D Along with all of that, we have weekly challenges. Fresh Brewed Friday will gather all the cards from both places and choose a winner to be featured on the challenge blog. This weeks winner is Lawren: AHobby-holic with this lovely Fresh Brewed Creation: Lawren, you can snag the I was featured button and proudly display it on your blog if you wish :D
