Farewell 2011 (read: Good Riddance!)

I don't know about you, but I am well and truly ready to kick 2011 to the kerb.

I am very much looking forward to the clean slate tomorrow, and beginning what I am feeling will be a much better year.

I have decided I am going to have a word in 2012 and that my word for 2012 will be: BLESSING.  I want to remind myself to look for the blessings in every circumstance, and also to work on blessing others in any way I can.

Do you have a word in mind for 2012?

Now, I have a little to share... I want to end the year on a positive note, so here are a couple of things making me smile today, 31 December 2011:

<3 Honourable Mention in the 2011 Master's Competition for Scrapbooking Memories <3

A layout I have done for the December Sketch Challenge at Anna's Craft Cupboard.

AND LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST:

My very first DT position!!  I am thrilled to announce that I have been asked to join the talented team of lovely ladies at Polly! Scrap Kits and Supplies!  We will be revealing a host of new and exciting challenges for you to take part in, in the next day or so, so keep an eye out.  You don't want to miss this!  Kayla is busy uploading new stock into the shop, and I know there will be some AMAZING goodies to drool over LOL.

Well, I think that'll about do it for 2011.  I am looking forward to 2012 with anticipation and excitement, and intend to see the new year in with a bit of creating!

Don't forget, I will be sharing new product lines for Catie's Craft Corner in the next week or so too....can't wait!  (Here's a lil sneak for you ;)  )

Happy New Year to you and yours.  May it be a year filled to overflowing with BLESSINGS! <3<3<3

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo
