so far so good (and a RAK!)...

(photo heavy post ahead)

hey!
how are you?

i am having a very splendid new year so far:



we rang in 2009 with a (sort of) quiet new year with the monkeys throwing
those little popping things outside:
(no, those aren't bags of weed)


some confetti :

and appropriate beverages for us all:

-------------------------------

we also went ice skating in the city while daddy watched us & "worked"...

well, 1 out of 3 of us went ice skating.
the other two of us went
"holding-onto-the-side-of-the-wall-skating":

-------------------------------

i got to spend time with this fabulous girl:
---------------------------

we also got a visit from grandma:

---------------------

i received a BIG box full of chatterbox goodies.
...and when i say BIG, i mean
HUMONGOUS.

so big that franki couldn't even push it an inch:

so big that i could even fit inside of the empty box:
(yes, that is my hand)

...and so big, that even my tall, strapping husband could fit inside:
(well, almost... i think that's his back)


we seriously have too much time on our hands.

i cannot wait to dig in to all the pretties & create!



----------------------------------------------


so here's the good stuff:

i have also been busy cleaning, and organizing, and purging stuff.
when i'm done (hopefully by next Christmas!), i'll be back with a super, over-stuffed
box (maybe more than 1) of scrapbook goodies to give away ;)

did you see those pictures of my messy work space?
i have alot of stuff.
alot of GOOD, new stuff that is waiting to go to a good home to be used!



if your still reading my long post, and want some awesome stuff to be creative with,
all you have to do is post in the comments
& tell me how much you think my box of chatterbox supplies weighed!
(see above photos)

i'll be back with a randomly drawn winner
& also have something for the person that guesses the exact weight correctly.

i'll leave it open until about the
25th of january
to give everyone enough time to play.




ready?
steady.
GO!
