A new beginning

What a monumental day in history this is . As we welcome in President Obama and say goodbye to President Bush, I sit here reflecting on the past 8 years and can only wonder what the next four years have in store. President Obama promised change during his campaign and I have no doubt that things will change. Maybe not as much change as some had hoped, maybe more than some would like, but you can't have a changing of the guard, if you will, and not have some kind of greater change as the result. It is with great anticipation, and maybe a little trepidation, that I look forward to whatever change may come. I wish him and his family well as they begin their new life in DC. May he serve our country well.



Speaking of reflecting - all of this talk about looking back, reflecting, etc., reminded me of a scrapbook page I did a long time ago. I'd like to share that page with you now. I'm sorry the picture isn't great - digital cameras have come a long way in the last 4 years! Now brace yourself...there isn't a lick of Stampin' Up stuff on this page. *GASP!* The papers and sticker letters are Basic Grey. I love this layout because it captures an ordinary moment. My two youngest boys would play in front of that mirror everyday! The obsession with mirrors has ceased for the time being - video games and sports rank at the top now - but I'm sure I'll find them spending hours in front of a mirror again once they discover girls. Quick - someone tell me how to stop time!





Don't forget to check out the new Stampin' Up Catalog. The 2009 Spring/Summer edition is live! Now that's a change we can all get excited about!

Until next time - Happy Stamping!
