This is my favorite time of year!  There is only a brief few days where all the Bradford Pear trees in our neighborhood are in bloom.  I just love the way they look but wished it lasted longer.

Welcome to Little Red Scrapbook's "Out with the Old, In with the New" Blog Hop!  With the start of the new year we all like to set goals and think of new ways to get organized.  With this in mind our talented Design Team has come up with some fun challenges that may help you get started.

Read below to find out all of the ways you can win:

STEP 1:  First you will need to leave a comment on the LRS blog and tell us what goal or organization idea you have for the New Year.  This will not only inspire all of us with your goal or idea, but it will also get your name entered into a random drawing for a chance to win the blue colored inspired “hodgepodge” prize. Pretty easy so far right!    

STEP 2: Second you will need to visit all FOUR design team member blogs and leave a comment on EACH blog.  This is important so we know you have been to all of the blogs.  If you have left a comment on each of the blogs your name will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win the orange colored inspired “hodgepodge” prize.  Another easy peasy way to win!

STEP 3: Once you’ve done that, you will need to check out our Facebook page, and LIKE us. This will put your name in another random drawing for a chance to win the green color inspired “hodgepodge” prize.   

STEP 4: For a chance to win the Love LRS Grand Prize head on over to our message board and say hello, then upload your project and/or layout for any of the design team challenges posted on their blogs to the “2012 Out with the Old, In with the New” gallery.

Congratulations on completing Little Red Scrapbook's 'Out With the Old, In With the New' blog hop!!  Be sure to check back on the message board to see if you are a winner!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello!  Thanks for taking the time to visit my stop on the Little Red Scrapbook Blog Hop!  In celebration of a new year, my challenge this month is to create a layout featuring something you would like to accomplish in 2012.  This can be a goal, resolution, something from your bucket list, etc.  

My goal this year (as has been my goal for the past 13 years, Oy!) has been to learn to play the guitar.  Robert bought me a guitar when Kemper was a baby and I have always wanted to learn to play more than just a few self taught chords.  Maybe this year will be my year!!  Here is a layout I created using the January Little Red Scrapbook kit featuring Lily Bee's Memorandum/Head Over Heels line.  This kit is so versatile and I just love the look of the delicate Lily Bee patterns.

Here is my layout:

Journaling reads:  Someday I'll play you.  Someday I'll teach Kemper to play.  Someday we'll make beautiful music together.  Someday.....

I can't wait to see what you do with the challenge!

Memphis Monday

Yeah, yeah I know.....technically it's Tuesday but I'm in denial.

I love Memphis is so photogenic and will allow me to take photos of him.  Actually, when we first brought him home I think he was a little frightened of me because I always had this strange black gizmo thing pointed at him and it made funny noises. Memphis has gotten used to the camera and will usually sit nicely for photos.  Which is more than I can say about my two boys......who run at the site of the camera.....and demand cold hard cash.  Oy!

Memphis Monday

Memphis is adjusting well to his new surroundings.  Honestly, it's as if he has been with us forever.  He is so calm and quiet for a big dog.  He used to not bark at the doorbell, but now he realizes when the bell rings there is a person on the other side. (Pizza guy is soooooo not amused at the new dog.  LOL)   We took him to the vet this week for a microchip implantation.  Memphis is used to running on 9 acres at Joy and Jerry's so I was afraid if he ever got out of the gate he would run like a crazy dog and get lost.   I was also very curious to see how much this big boy weighed......92 lbs!!!  Holy smokes!  This beast is only 9 months old and already weighs 92 lbs!  I don't think he will get much bigger in height, maybe another 3-5", but he will probably start filling out and add about 30lbs.  It is really hard to say without seeing his parents.

Here is Memphis "not" laying on the window seat.  Because he has a paw on the floor he is technically NOT on the seat, right??

Again, technically NOT on the furniture.  Such a goof!
