2009 December 31 « Red Oak Lines

I think I’ve said this a billion times this year, but where did 2009 go?! Lots has happened this year — good and bad, of course.

At the beginning of this year, January 3rd to be exact, I ended up going to the emergency room. After that experience, I kept thinking to myself, “This is going to be one sh*tty year.” Boy, was I wrong! Thus far, it’s been the BEST year of my life. Does that mean that 2010 isn’t going to be as good?! No way! The way I see it, things can only get better from here on out.

I never want to forget this year, so I picked some of my favorites. All lists are in no particular order!

Favorite moments:

walking down SoHo (NYC) in the pouring rain. playing and getting soaked at Washington Square Park. conquering my fear of flying. taking control of my anxiety. finding out about design teams and publications. meeting scrappy friends. adopting hilo. my shiny pretty bling. snow trip to the cabin. remodeling then our housewarming. working on the patio. being honest and free. weeding out unnecessary crap. ice skating. therapy. snorkeling in maui. christmas in the “new room”. pure entertainment from ignorance. scrapbooking opportunities. new friends.

Favorite layout: Over at TAAFOMFT, we want to know what your favorite layout from this year is. Out of the hundreds that I have created this past year, I think my most loved layout is “Before 26″. It’s a really simple layout, but I LOVE this one because it’s sentimental to me. On this layout, I wrote out a goal list, and so far, I’ve pretty much kept to it.

…so if you want to play along with a super easy challenge, head on over to TAAFOMFT. Just share what your favorite layout from 2009 is, and your name will be entered in a random prize drawing for a prize.

Yesterday, my friend, Jennie, was so kind enough to take us all exploring Marin County.
