End of a Decade, Project 365, *FREEBIES*

ahhh, can you believe in a couple of days it will be 2010?! Where has the time gone? It seems when I was younger, time went by so S...L...O...W..., and now it feels like I just can't keep up! This year has been a good one for us in the Q household. Kev has been TDY a lot this year and more to come in the following year. Tani and Laura have moved to Hawaii and are expecting a baby girl in April! WOOT! Tranq and I were able to go back home in August for a WHOLE month! I FINALLY met my SIL, Nichole! (Tranq misses her SOOO much!) I've joined not 1, but 2 Creative Teams for some really awesome designers: Connie Prince & Liz(Sweet Digi Scraps). I've recently been asked to be Connie's hybrid girl, so that was super exciting news since I'm really getting into hybrid! Hybrid, for those that don't know is a combo of digital and paper scrapbooking. I am loving it! It's a super way for the boy and I to get together and have some creative F-U-N!

With the new year coming up, anyone want to join me in Project 365? I like to scrapbook my pics, so I am doing a Project 52, where I make a LO of the pics I've taken for the week. It should be awesome fun! And what a great way to chronicle the past year. Remember, it doesn't have to be a significant thing you did that day. Just something that will help you remember about that day and of course journaling! I can't wait to get started on 2010 and have this to pass down to li'l man when he gets older. This is part of my New Year's Resolution, I want to stick with this project for the WHOLE year! (I kind of slacked this year!) So it would be a huge help to stay on track if you all joined in with me! Oh, and the other part of my resolution for Kev and myself is to quit smoking. We could be saving so much money and of course our health too! LOL

Now on to the freebies! As I have mentioned, I am a CT member for Liz and she is holding her 12 Days of Christmas on her BLOG. From December 25-January 4th, She will be giving away goodies on her BLOG. If you miss a day, don't worry, you'll be able to visit her STORE and purchase the prezzie at a discounted price!

Also, don't forget to check out the Creative Sweeties BLOG and find some awesome QP freebies from us! Here are 2 LOs that I have done and made them into Quick Pages for you!

So Check out the Sweeties BLOG and download the QPs for FREE!!! Don't forget to leave some love! (Because we all need some luvin' in our lives!)

Until we meet again!
