Onward and Upward and a GIVEAWAY

With 2012 right around the corner, I wanted to shake the end of the year and after Christmas blues. So I spent some time at my desk. And Phew do I feel better! Nothing has changed, nothing is actually any better, but I spent some time doing something I enjoy and that makes me feel monumentally better. Another way I've found of cheering myself up? Giving to others. I've been collecting stuff for a box to go out to someone and I've decided not to wait until New Year's, but do it now. The details of the giveaway will be at the end of this post, but first...
I realized I didn't post all of December's layouts from Scrapbook Circle's kit Note to Self. I thoroughly enjoyed this kit and want to share the last few layouts:
and my absolute favorite:
There are a few Note to Self kits left HERE. And while you are over shopping at Scrapbook Circle, you will definitely want to check out January's kit You + Me. I ♥ Valentine's/Love themed kits because they are so easy to use on ALL kinds of layouts. An example? I made this Angry Birds layout which is about as far from Valentines as you can get ;)
♥ ♥ ♥ this kit :)
One more thing before the giveaway...
Ruby Rock It has released another peek and it is GORGEOUS. Get a load of this:
Ok, enough talk! On to the giveaway! I have a box almost ready to go, some new things, some gently used things, some things I bought for DT applications for teams I am now a member of ;) and I want to brighten someone's day. If that sounds good to you, leave me a comment and you will be entered to win. For a second entry you can follow my blog and leave a second comment telling me you now follow or already follow. I will draw a winner on Sunday January 1, 2012 (EEK!) 
Have a great week!

The Other Side of Christmas

Sorry I am late to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Christmas about did me in this year. Everything was late or small scale. So many things I wanted to get done didnt get done. I am a bit down not just because of the  usual after Christmas blues, but also because our tree fell over today. Turns out our stand is broken and of course the tree fell forward ON  the special and favorite ornaments. Most were broken  beyond repair including the glass ballet slippers ornament my Grandma gave me when I was young and Little Man's first year ornament from my parents. Sigh. But looking to 2012, I need to work on my perspective. I am trying to be grateful for all that we do have.  I am trying to decide on and fine tune my One Little Word for 2012. I am thinking along the lines of positivity, balance, restraint. As you can see, I have some more thinking to do in the next 4 days ;)
Speaking of ornaments, did you see my Ruby Rock It post the other day? All about ornaments: http://rubyrockit.typepad.com/ruby-rock-it/2011/12/the-christmas-ornament-tradition.html

Ruby Rock It are giving sneak peeks of the 2012 lines. Let me just say they are AWESOME! Here is a peak:
SO EXCITING!
Also very exciting is the January kit coming out from Scrapbook Circle--check out this gorgeousness...
Is it me or are Valentine's papers the best? It is the only holiday paper I like because you can use it for any layout that includes ♥ :)
And finally, how about a few Christmas photos?
(picking out our tree)
(Christmas Eve saying good bye to our elf until next year)
(Coming downstairs on Christmas morning)
(I LOVE this face--this may be one of the main reasons I wanted to have children)
 (The aftermath--am I the only one who takes this picture every year?)
From our house to yours Happy Holidays!
♥ Rebecca
