******* POST EDITED - I accidentally deleted the other post that had the comments!  If you posted previously, please re-post so I can include you in the drawing for the FREE spot in the Football Widows' crop on January 31, 2009 -   I will choose the winner on January 15, 2009 and announce it on the website!

Like many of you, I'm sure, I am inspired at the start of every new year to clear out the clutter, set some goals, and return to things that refresh my spirit - like scrapbooking.  I've been reading around some magazines not directly related to scrapbooking, but ones that touch upon the same concepts - creativity, crafts, and using art to record life.  These have inspired me to get back to work on my albums after the holidays.  My albums are chronological, but I've stopped focusing on doing the layouts chronologically.  This has freed my soul!   So, on this freezing winter day, I chose some photographs taken by my sister this past September.  I love them for the memories they conjure of slow, sultry, hot days on a boat.  For the loads of time I spent with my girls and husband.  The memories of being in a place where I grew up, surrounded by lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins.  Plus, they're just really cute photos!  Whatever the reason, whatever pulls you back to your layouts - get one done, about anything...you'll be amazed at how it lightens your spirit and brings the important things in life into focus.  One of my intentions this year is to allow myself the privilege of working on at least one layout a week, hopefully more, to remind myself how much I love creating, and especially recording our lives.  What are your intentions for the new year?  

Comment below - and one person will be chosen at random to win a free spot in the Football Widow's Crop!  See the website for details on the crop.

Happy scrapping!

2010 Intentions
written by Shelley F., January 14, 2010
One of my intentions for 2010 is to evaluate everything based first on NEED and then on WANT. I've realized I've spent many years wasting resources purely on WANT...

We decided as a family this year that our intention is to SIMPLIFY...our schedules, commitments, and especially our stuff. Scrapbooking supplies are exempt, of course!
