One, Yes One, Day of Snow




I am so happy to report that Portland had one day of snow. That's right one day! I happened to have the day off of work, so it was the perfect day as well.

These two LO are from photos taken that afternoon when the snow came. First of all, I have to say that I am thrilled to be able to take the photos and second I am truly blessed. In December of 2008, with a similar snow event (longer though) my DH suffered a heart attack. After some time in the hospital and a stent placement, changing his diet and exercise routine, he is a "new" man. Over the last year, I thing he lost about 30 lbs! Good job!

Also I am thrilled that my DS is still willing to have his photograph taken, and offers helpful *scrapbooking tips*. He is a bright guy and really the light of my life, most of the time!

So, today, I am thankful for one day of snow, rain and that it is getting more light outside. Have a great week!

Happy New Year, New Decade and New Resolution!



Welcome to a new decade! I am really excited to see what the year will bring!
One of my biggest resolutions this year is to scrap with what I've got AND that is a lot. I will also be doing some RAKS and techniques here. Hope that you all will like that.

My first LO of the new year is of my DS and I. He rocks! Anyway, that being said, I enjoyed putting 4 photos on this LO.
