As 2008 comes to an end, I find myself thinking about what made 2008 one of the best years of my life. There are so many thoughts and photos etched in my mind, I thought I’d share some of them with you that I may not have shared before.

Greetings dear ones! Cheryl here. I didn’t get to wish you a Merry Christmas because we were buried in the Minnesota/Iowa Artic Tundra.
I went to visit family (my husband’s) in Minnesota and Iowa. Cell service was scarce and internet service was unavailable in the small town we spent most of our town. A wonderful small […]

We safely arrived here in Lockport after just 8 long hours in the car (thanks for all your well wishes). It snowed from Albany to Syracuse! We are hoping for a much easier drive home.
2008 has been amazing! Becoming a Lead Fiskateer was definitely a highlight. I am so thankful for this friendly community of Fiskateers and […]

I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday, whichever one you celebrated! Things got a little crazy around here because we ended up changing our travel plans at the last minute (Christmas morning, as a matter of fact), but it was worth it, because we surprised most of my family with a Christmas day appearance!

{I asked Elena to post about the circle journal she put together recently for 2009. I thought it was fun inspiration for more Fiskateers to get together and create their own version. If you’re interested, start a thread and ask others to join you. I would love to see what everyone comes up with at […]

The Spirit of Christmas is alive and well in our house, and it’s going to be here for at least another week.
Santa came and he brought Emily the Word World toy and Walkie Talkie bear that she asked for. She must have been a very good girl. And I got a new camera that I’m still learning how to […]

Think back to your days as a young child. I bet we can each recall spending some time in the kitchen with our mothers and grandmothers baking holiday cookies. Warm, holiday cookies baked by mom with love, but decorated with our own little hands.
In my family’s house, I can remember making gingerbread men with red hot candy eyes and […]
It’s a White Christmas at My House!

I have never experienced a true white Christmas and it’s absolutely lovely. I was going to get all bundled up, go outside and do a little video reporting for those of you who have written me telling me to do more goofy videos. But typically, I’m just enjoying being INSIDE where it’s warm with my […]

It’s the strangest thing. I consider myself an obsessed crafter and yet, here I am on Christmas eve dreading the marathon wrapping session that is about to begin. I am terrible at wrapping. I have polled other paper crafters so I know I’m not alone. Probably the dread is because wrapping is meant for people […]

I loved reading all of the suggestions for the wire tree, there were so many wonderful ones! I’d like to thank everyone that commented. It was a tough choice, but I especially loved Diane’s (#4226) idea for making it a memory tree and giving it to someone whose memory needs a little help. Send me your […]
