Kickin' off the year with MCS!

Throughout history, January 5th has been the start of many great things. It was on this day in 1940 that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) listened to a demo of FM radio. Ten years later on this day, in 1950, Gene Autry’s “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” topped the Billboard Pop Charts at #1. And it was again on this very day in 1943 that an 11 year old Elizabeth Taylor starred in her very first acting role - an appearance on Lassie Come Home.

And here it is January 5, 2010 and I'm about to reveal another great moment for the history books...

My Creative Scrapbook's Album Kit for January!!

~please hold your excitement and applause til' the end~

Several months ago, I had the opportunity to spend an entire weekend with three of my favorite people - Robbie Herring, Susan Goetter and Susan Dupre. Or as I like to call them... the Snore Sisters. They made me promise not to mention that. So instead, howzabout I just give you the link to the story behind the name. CLICK HERE!! CLICK HERE!!


More recently, I got to spend an entire week with this cutie:


The cutie pictured above is my awesome niece, Chelsea. She's no longer that tiny, but she's still just as cute!


But you know who's the cutest of them all?! ME! And I'm humble too.


That's me in all my cuteness, as the flower girl at my Aunt Nancy & Uncle Steve's wedding, back in 1971. (In the photo below - my brother, Jeff, is the ring bearer and my Mom is third from the left). Anyways, in an effort to get me to cooperate with the events of the day, everyone told me that it would be fun! That my being flower girl was a game where I could play dress up and everything! I'm sure you'll be surprised to learn that my fun-o-meter ran out pretty fast, and apparently I turned to my mom and whined, "I'm tired of playing this game."

They'll never let me live that down...


As much as I'll never let the Snore Sisters live this down. CLICK HERE!! CLICK HERE!!
