Happy New Years Eve!
I thought I would post some of the pictures I had on my blog in 2012 along with what little scrapbooking I managed to complete.
I'm hoping that 2013 will hold more photographs and scrapbooking.
2013...it's going to be a memorable year, I just know it.
My girl will be graduating high school this June....We're anxious to see what colleges give her the big thumbs up, although they should ALL give her the the thumbs up because she is a mighty smart firecracker:) This big time in her life has me excited and sad all at the same time. She's my baby bird....I'm going to be an absolutely sobbing mess at her graduation...sigh.
okay, let's get started, shall we?
Every year I try to take the kids onto 2 trips....this was our first one of 2012, we stayed at beach house on the Washington Coast, I loved it.
Shades of the girl...she doesn't like to get her picture taken

Me & My Boy @ the beach
{he's a ham and will always take a pic with his Momma}
Here's a pic from July, it was my boy's birthday party...
{I love my boy!}
My Birthday
{me and my honey...I love that man!}
My birthday cake ala the kids
{it was delish!}
We took a trip to California this summer....
{the kids at Stanford}
A high school graduation requirement is to job shadow a professional in your field of choice
{my girl had the awesome opportunity to shadow 2 Research Assistants at a Seattle biotech company}
Here are some layouts I managed to sling out in 2012:
My Girl
{picture taken by my boy}
the american dream
{about my Momma...on the right in the pic...she sailed from Japan to the US}
Pike Place Market
{a field trip when the kids were much younger...11 years ago}
Same picture but different feel
{yup, it's the same pic but scrapped totally different}
There you have it...I love to take pictures and I love to scrapbook but:
1. I forget to take pictures
2. I love the instant gratification of card making...scrapbooking takes me for-ever!
How about you?
It's been posted...check it out HERE.
I'll be back at 9 pm pacific for a fun 'lil hop...you won't want to miss it!

I do hope you create more layouts cos they are gorgeous!
I had the same feeling when I first started thinking about scrapbooking.. that the size is daunting but I guess I have overcame it now. I enjoy the size and if I feel not up to it, there's always cardmaking and mini albums or 8.5x11 layouts :D
Love you!
Happy New Year, darling!
Love all your scrappy pages! I need to try to make more this next year, too. :)
I've got Loads of pics waiting to be scrapped. I've been using Project Life for the last few years, but have several albums started with traditional scrapping. One day, I'll go back to those traditional albums and get back to the more creative scrapping with my gazillion supplies, but for now, at least I'm getting some pics into albums.
Happy New Year....New Year's Eve!! :>
I am with you on the photos. The camera is the last thing I think of most of the time when we leave the house. OR I am prepared and then too busy to take pics. I am determined to do more scrapbooking this year AND I have a local friend who wants to scrapbook together.
I don't always remember to take photos, but here's the thing - if you spend all your time behind a camera, you aren't really participating in the memory-making, are you? So I collect memories & only a few pictures :)
