LOTW :o)

Good Morning (or evening :o))!  SP here…tired and exhausted after a busy and fun-filled Christmas weekend!  WOW, it was WONDERFUL…but Goodness I must be getting old, lol!  I feel like I could sleep for a week (wish I really could, lol) and would love to just sit on the couch all day today, lol (not going to happen)!  Christmas morning was magical – just love seeing it through the eyes of a child!  We are all so blessed and have so much to be thankful for (and we are)…especially each other!  There were lots of presents, but I don’t think that is what any of us will remember when we look back on the weekend – I think we will remember the fun moments, the laughs, the hugs, the food, the JOY and the time together.  Don’t get me wrong, presents are GREAT, lol (and i LOVE all of mine)…but we enjoy the time together so much…and remembering the meaning of Christmas!  Anyhoo – it was a FANTASTIC weekend and I wish it could last forever, lol!  But…as we were returning home last night from a movie (Yogi Bear…cute and the little man laughed a LOT, lol) – our son said, “ISN’T IT TIME TO TAKE DOWN ALL OF THE LIGHTS AND THE TREE NOW?”  And, I guess he’s right – but it still made me sad, lol!  Partly because I wish Christmas could last all year…but also because MAN, it is a lot of WORK, lolol!  So worth it though :o)

I truly hope that you all had a WONDERFUL weekend, too!

Alright…how about I get on with the LAYOUT OF THE WEEK?  lol!  I haven’t been to the gallery for about a week (been so busy with the holidays) and I wasn’t even sure we would have any new layouts posted with everyone’s schedule being so full!  But, there were actually quite a few, and all so lovely!  Many are for our current challenges (template challenge SEVEN  which is now closed, and the MERRY MEMORIES layout challenge) – but there were other fabulous pages as well…like this one by KristiL!  It just makes me laugh – I have NO idea what the context of this photo or layout is really – lol…but it makes me smile and I enjoy the silly-ness :o)  Not to mention the design is beautiful (I love the huge snowflake peeking out)!

So, CONGRATS, KristiL - I hope you enjoy your $10 gift card to the Shabby Shoppe (sent via email) :o)

I hope you all have a fantastic week…I’ll be back on Wednesday with our latest GALLERY GIRLS feature (you won’t want to miss it)…and will have the free January desktop soon as well!  Oh, and I’ll be announcing the winner of our seventh template challenge on Thursday!

HAPPY WEEK :o)
