Just wanted to share....
some sweet memories from Christmas....

 Little Miss Kianna....

 Ella Belle....

 the 3 kids watching gramps open his new hockey gloves.... so cute!

 Miss Shay...

 Not sure what was happening here but I love the shot anyways....

 Shawner....Love having this guy home!

Shar was able to get a couple shots of Manda, Cody and the kids!

and last but not least Granny, Grandma and papa with the grandkids... this is just my family though, there are two other families not here!
Hard to beleive that it is over for another year.... you gotta love the holidays especially with the little kids.... they are so sweet!

Wanted to mention too about my "happiness project" class next week, I hope you all have been in the store to see it! I am so excited to be teaching this class... I have so many ideas running through my head... in fact today I was thinking of just going to the store and grabbing it for a couple hours cause I had an idea.... anyway I never did get there but maybe tomorrow... If you haven't got your e-mail about supplies yet you should get it soon!

Until next time!

What a day.....

Special, perfect, crazy, busy and absolutely fabulous all rolled into one.....

Christmas day came....

and then it was over

in a blink, just like that! It is always so busy getting ready and the excitement about the gifts and dinner and family around and friends and then before you know it we are on to a new year...

I have to say though I really love Christmas, I just love the whole family being together, getting to be surrounded by my kids and their kids....

just being together means a lot.....

Every year we try to get our 'traditional' family shot on the front porch.... Love that although we are outgrowing the steps, it is so fun to get the shot and to see the change year after year....
I hope eveyone had a fabulous day, I hope everyone got to create beautiful memories with their families! As a new year approaches I want to wish you all the very best for 2012.....

I truly hope that it is the best year ever.....

Until next time,

Lynn

Things have been crazy busy, finishing up my 4th shabby chic album and I have to say it is bittersweet.... i miss everyone like crazy, miss creating layouts every week, miss the chit chat.... i really do.... but i have been busy with Little Miss 'E'.... she keeps me busy.... good busy.... but all the same busy.( is that an excuse? ok so I had 5 but I was way younger! lol)

 I can hardly believe that Christmas is approaching and then after that will be CHA and I can't hardly stand how excited i am to be able to attend it again this year with Lori!

Ok so I am starting a new Shabby Chic album.... Like seriously #5... I can hardly believe that I am there already, I really wasn't sure how it would ever go but I am so happy that because of all of you I am still doing it! Like craaaazzzzzzy! But I am so happy! So Thanks to all of you that have made a little old dream of mine come true...... seroiusly so thankful for each one of you!!!!

So in the new year I am going on another little journey..... I am not going to share too much just now, other than that I can hardly stand it I am so excited about it... I go to sleep thinking about it.... I wake up thinking about it......throughout the day I am thinking about it....it is alll about our happiness, and what makes us truly happy..... like really happy.... Oh my gosh I am excited all over again....

with that being said.... the class is sold out.... yep sold out.... but I saw in a little box a couple more journals..... so.... if there is enough interest I WILL maybe offer another class...
