Scrap Potpourri: Happy New Year!

As the year comes to a close, I tend to look back on all the things I've learned, things I wished I had learned, and things I yet hope to learn. Life is really all about growth. I've always found it amazing that that process never stops no matter how old one is and that while your physical body ages, your spirit remains forever young. In my head I'm still 25 and on most days I still feel 25 physically. What a gift!

Have enjoyed my vacation immensely! Have gotten in lots of computer time (lots), read a few books, didn't knit as much as I would have liked, spent quality time with the CIR (I always hate going off to work and leaving him all alone for so many hours even though he spends much of the day sleeping), and took lots of naps so I could stay up half the night. I've learned that I abhor living by the clock and that I'm happiest when my days just go as they go. Someday, God willing, someday......

A note about the graphic tablet....I've decided that I definitely should have gone for the larger one. Most of what I read said that the larger size was for professionals but right before I ordered it I did read that the smaller one was really better for taking notes. I shoulda paid attention. Live and learn. Eventually I think I'll go for the larger one. I can't imagine ever again trying to draw anything with a mouse.

I spent much of today working on the kit below. A bit early for Valentine's day, but at least I can get that out of the way. LOL . If you use Firefox, please remember to right click and save target as. You can get the download here Enjoy it!

May you all have a happy and healthy new year! See ya in 2009!
