Hi Everyone!
 I am over at my inlaws so thought I’d create a quick post so as to not leave this blog so dang quiet. I’ve thought about blogging every day and, if I had internet, I would have posted every. single. day. Hopefully we’ll get the issues resolved shortly, but until then..please accept my apologies!!!

Two days ago I experienced my first burning day on the farm. Branches and garbage that had been collected over the last year and a half were piled out beside our dug out and finally, on Thursday..it was time for it to burn!! The heat from the fire was incredible and the photos I captured are definitely going in my Project Life album (still have not received my PL contents, but I am keeping track on my calendar and taking photos none-the-less). anyways, without further hesitation..here are some of my favs from Thursday:

My Father-In-Law (showing us how its done!)

Happy Monday Everyone!

I’m back with another layout today, can you believe it?! I made this layout last summer as I was preparing for my big lifestyle change..from city living to farm living..and let me tell you, I have so many stories to share thru layouts this year, I can hardly wait to start them!!

Now, I’ve only been a farmer’s wife for 2 months and living on a farm for 4 months..but wow, what I’ve learned already has been amazing! It seems as if almost daily I utter the words, “my how my life has changed!” It’s truly amazing.

There are many wonderful aspects about my new life that I am so blessed and grateful for and there are also many aspects that are challenging and sometimes down- right hard. But I am learning, I am growing and I am proud to now call myself a Country Girl!!

For todays’ project, I used patterned papers from The Girls Paperie as well as letter sticks and embellishments from K & Company.

I hope you are all enjoying the start of the new year!!! Thanks so much for stopping by:)

love,

Happy New Year Everyone!!

I hope you all had a wonderful evening filled with love and laughter as you rang in the New Year! Adam and I went to the States for the day, came home and had a quiet night of appy’s and movies, which was definitely alright with me! At midnight, Adam popped open our bottle of champagne to celebrate and that, dear friends, was our first new years eve as newlyweds 😉

And today brings us a new year: 2012!! I feel really good about this coming year, I think it’s going to be another amazing one, which it’ll have to be to beat 2011! This morning as I was on the treadmill (resolution # 5, I believe) I was thinking about everything I wanted to do and accomplish this year. How I really want to push my creativity and see what I truly have inside of me. I want to study photography and learn everything I can about it. I want to capture our daily memories and scrapbook them like I always say I will. I want to create my business from home and make it a success. There are so many ideas brewing in my head..I can hardly wait to get them all down on paper and start working on making them come true!

A few goals of 2012 that I can share with you at the moment are the goals I have set for my blog and my memory keeping. First off, I suck at blogging…I know this. And I really don’t want to suck at it any more (in my defence, we have no internet at the moment, nor have we since the beginning of December..so when I want to blog, etc I have to go over to my inlaws and do so). But we will have the internet problem solved soon enough and I vow to blog more frequently..I promise. Also, I suck at sticking with a project (photo a day challenges, December Daily, etc) but I really want to see something thru. So, I have decided to work on Project Life for 2012. I know it’s a HUGE challenge for me, but I whole heartedly accept that challenge! I figure it would be an amazing way to document our first year of marriage! My core elements and page protectors have still not arrived in the mail yet though, but I am taking photos and documenting the “who’s & whats” of our daily life and will record them in my album when it arrives and plan on sharing my weekly layouts with you every week {gulp}. So please stick with me…I promise this is going to be a very good year 😉

I was actually SO motivated to get on my goals of memory making that I already made my 2012 title page for my regular scrapbook album (not my PL album) and I thought I’d share it with you here, today.

Here’s to a creative and inspiring year in 2012!!
love,
 dawn
