Welcome 2009!

It's time to put up the 2009 calendars. I don't make my own calendar since I have a few inspiring favorites I put up every year.

Well, I will definitely be glad 2008 is over. 2008 for me was the Bad News year. From the economy collapsing, gas prices soaring, and losing my job to political and corporate scandals, and some favorite stores/companies shutting down. These bad times sometimes overshadowed some of the highlights of the year including Obama winning the election (definitely a highlight during these grim times). So, this new year should mark a new chapter in all our lives. I will be focusing on following my dreams (as the calendar states) I will try to spend less on frivolities and enjoy my present moment.

I might try my hand at Project 365. This idea started with Becky Higgins's Kit of the Month concept and now others are trying it their own way. Check out Meredith's Blog for her digital concept and free digital templates and the Ikea Goddess blog for her free digital templates.

I would also like to give a shout out to my Mom who celebrated a birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday Mom! Wish I was there or you were here. Love you!
