Last Day of Lists!

Last Day of 2010!!!
Wow!!!
I can't believe its almost 2011...in less than 24 hours we will be in January...the holiday season of 2010 wrapping up...kind of sad, but kind of exciting too!
Not sure what my new goals for 2011 will be...looking forward to spending time with family and friends, making more art and learning new techniques, travelling to Vegas and Death Valley, getting my studio space really cleaned up and organized...who knows what else since to tell you the truth, I haven't really given it much thought YET.
So thought I would post some of my favorite items from my blog in 2010, kind of a recap you could say.
Here we go...are you ready?
January 2010

This was the best- yummy and fun. The rainbow cake!
Below, a few tags from my Paris book. In January I was busy working on the journal with LOTS of other great pages too. I wanted to be done before we left on our February vacation. Didn't quite finish that goal, but very close.

February 2010
The end of the month we went to Barcelona, Spain! Then we drove northeast into sotuhern France and went to Nimes and Avignon.

Got a new refrigerator in my kitchen.
Finished the last of the Paris journal!

I made this fun Kiss the Cook book, a bit of a belated Valentine book.
