The Weekend Update
WOW - this year is off to a great start! Work has been busy, we leave for Hawaii in 20 days and things are just wonderful.
Last Friday night, I had a fab little girls night with Barb & Angie O. First we went to A-Bravo for dinner. It is this adorable little bistro about 3 minutes from my house. It was such a good time, I can't say enough wonderful things about Angie & Barb, they are hilarious. It was one of the funnest Fridays I have had in a long time.
After dinner, we went back to Angie's where we did some SCRAPPING! Yes, it's official, I am a scrapper. And I have to tell you, although my first attempt is a little elementary, I am HOOKED. I am enthusiastically looking forward to spending hours dressing up my memories. You will see my first attempt here. I promise to show off more of my creations in the weeks to come. And big ups to Barb and Angie for guiding me in my pursuit of scrapping, they are both generous teachers who have HUGE scrapping paper and embellishment collections that make it so much more fun for a beginner like myself. I loved every minute of it. Although I think Angie was getting a little irritated, as Barb and I are both major story tellers and babblers and Ang just wanted to get out brainstorming done.
One of the fun things Angie and Barb are up to this year is this fun little journaling project this year. Check out this link: http://fancysimple.blogspot.com/. My first scrapping project involves their Trendy Tuesday project, which I know I am posting early, but...I am super busy this week.
What you do is journal your favorites/trends and either post them on Angie & Barb's journaling site, or just put them on your own blog, or feel free to make your own list and comment on my blog.

I think filling out this list as the start of every year is the perfect way to take inventory of what the trends are and what we are into.

Okay. Am giggling my way through your list and nodding my head plenty. I'm totally thirsty for lambrusco now and am definitely staying up for the 10:00pm Sex and the City re-run. It's possible it's the last half of the last-ever episode.
whiskey? too hilarious. I think one of my favorite quotes should be "no one tells an Angie to settle down!"
Thanks for spreading my quote. It's from my new book THIS YEAR I WILL...How to Finally Change a Habit, Keep a Resolution or Make a Dream Come True.
