Everything Scrapp'n Challenge Day

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!  Ours was going to be quiet already due to my injuries (it sure stinks not being able to bend down without pain & use my left arm) but then Christmas Eve morning  Andrew came down with the flu.  I felt so bad for him yet at the same time we were all trying to stear clear of the germs.   Brandon & I went to my parents for a great dinner while Charley stayed home with Andrew to keep his spirits up.  I know he was feeling bad when he wouldn't even eat Turkey dinner (his favorite)!  He's still sniffing & caughing up a lung but slowly getting better.

Well this will not by your typical Everything Scrapp'n blog hop.  Michelle has also been sick with the flu so she will have her work up on the ES Blog later in the week.  It might be nice to stop by her blog & send her some get well love. 

The weeks after Thanksgiving are so busy that it's a relief when "the day" finally comes.  As New Years approaches I start thinking of all that happend in the past 12 months.  Even the TV news shows turn to reflecting on the past year's events.

So I thought it was a perfect time for a Journaling Challenge.... Reflections or Resolutions - I challenge you to do a layout about yourself.  Either about what was in 2009 or what you hope for 2010.  Each of the ES design team has created their take on this challenge.  Join in & post yours on the Everything Scrapp'n Blog by midnight Jan 9th for a chance to win a gift certificate to the store.

Here's my take on the challenge - I know I gave you a sneak peak a couple weeks ago during my blog anniversary - hoping some of the Unity fans would play along....

I "aged" the ribbon with gold Glimmer Mist
