DECEMBER CHALLENGE: REFLECTIONS

I want you to do a layout reflecting on 2010. Did you achieve any goals?, What were the highs or lows?, Did one moment stand out?, or did you have any lifechanging moments?
*Dont forget you need to include a handmade item made by yourself or someone else

and HERE is my effort...
"my Freedom"


as you can see i reflected on what has happened this year.. without goin overboard and dwelling on well.. everything..but to say that "THE" moment of the year hasnt affected my WHOLE year would be lying...so why not...

and NOW for the moment you have all been waiting for.....

yep thats right.. the closies...

okay for the title block i have used.. my cloudink and kite from.. Clouds And More.. and the doileys are so cute and dyed by the amazing Jodie Butler for Sweet Vintage... and then the button is well of course Lil Red Rocket...

so there are the other Halves of the sweet vintage doileys and anothery Lil Red Rocket button...
and some cute little bits and bobs for the bottom part.. and just incase you were wondering the litle background papers i got at Thrifty PYG just stitched and added some dimensional magic to give it alittle PIZZAZZ... oh yeah.. and that little orange rubon i stole from BB coz it needed something... thanks BB...

so i hope everyone is going along peachy and that all your plans are coming into place for that visit from the BIG man in REd... just what i need another man in my life... HEHEHEHhhheeeee... just jokes .. seriously i am perfectly happy single...
