Scrapbook anyone?

Do you keep scrapbooks?  I love to scrapbook... that being said, I have only done 2.  AND they aren't even completed yet... sad, I know.  But I keep buying supplies like I am pumping them out!  So when I found this little sweetie on Pinterest I squealed with delight.  This is something I can sooo see myself making :-)

Oh my heavens!!  I just blinked and Christmas flew by... did you see it?  Here is it January 27th and I swear I don't remember a thing ;-).  I remember waking up with a giddy love of everything Christmas and then... nothing!  It is gone... booo hooo booo hooo.  But never fear!  Christmas 2012 is on its way! 

I do solemnly swear to be organized, slow down, and enjoy this Christmas!  Not that I didn't enjoy last Christmas by any means, it just flew by too fast for me.  I was up the night before the girls last day of school until 1 am getting classroom gifts, teacher presents, and friends presents done.  My oldest still has 2 gifts she has yet to deliver!  I didn't even make neighbor gifts this year :-(.  That is the first time in 15 years I haven't done neighbor gifts.  But this year I will prevail!  I think I know the problem.  Last Christmas was the first time we didn't go home to Kansas.  Up until last year I have had to be prepared for Christmas by November.  This year I drug my feet knowing I didn't have a dead line except for Christmas it's self.  Soooo, this year I vow to be done by.... hmmm, OCTOBER!!  That's right October.  This a way I can enjoy each holiday to it's fullest and not worry about this or that.  October... I can do it (in a meek voice)!  I will do it!!!

I don't have any extraordinary Christmas pics to share so I will turn to the one and only Pinterest :-).  There are always great pics on there!
