Oh, what 2011 has been. I'm sure ready for 2012! It's been a hard year here in the Rose household. From the pneumonia, to breaking my foot, to having foot surgery, to losing my dear Grandma, and to losing my "job" with Boxer Scrapbook (oh, I forgot to tell you about that). I'm ready to close the chapter book of this year and move on to the next. Of course we will have one good happy thing to celebrate at the end of the year, but can't say just yet. ;)
As for the "job" thing. I'm very sad to say that Angie and Vicky have decided to close up Boxer Scrapbook. I've been with them for 5 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. I will miss working at the scrapbook expos, I'll miss all the cute designs and products that I got to have fun "working" and designing with and seeing my projects featuring their products in all the magazines! (course this won't stop me from the publication world, I will still have many projects published as I move forward. That is one thing I truly do enjoy.). I will greatly miss seeing Angie and Vicky twice a year and talking quilting. Guess one of these years, I will just have to drive or fly up to Oregon so we can do a quilt retreat. Yeah, isn't it funny how they are actually quilters not scrapbookers. :) :) I just love that! I wish them nothing but the best and hope that retirement goes well for Vicky and that Angie enjoys being a new bride with her hubby! :) Love you both!
Next year I am looking forward to spending more time with my hubby and boys. To quilting more with my girlfriends. To spend more time with family. To organize some things in the house. To finish painting the master bathroom. To once again start paper crafting after quite a few months of a haitus. And hopefully (cross your fingers) be able to find another paper manufacturer to work for.
I am still on the mend. And feel so much better than I did a month ago. Again, thank you for the prayers and good thoughts.
I have a few blocks to share today. Some more of the bluework snowmen I have been working on.
I hope next year is so much better for you.
Thanks for coming my blog and entering my giveaway. For some reason you comment did not come to my email. I always check the comments to see who has entered. I don't want to miss anyone.
Good luck and Merry Christmas.
