2009-01-03T20:17:00.001-08:00

Here we are... the beginning of a new year and new beginnings. I have decided to join in with Becky Higgins for the challenge and create a Project {365} scrapbook. If you would like to join along check out the CK kit of the month site. (there were some ordering problems, but they are hoping to get more in)

I created this blog to share with you our entire year! I am really excited about it. I am going to post ONE picture and 1-3 sentences about our day. I will try to capture the entire day in one photograph. It will be fun looking back over time!! As always, I love your comments, so please share your thoughts with us.

I wish all of you a wonderful year full of memories. Happy 2009!
