GABI!
Beautiful page, my dear!
Congratulations are also in order for LoriBear and Stephanie!! We will be contacting you all shortly with your prizes! yay!
I hope everyone's new year is off to a great start! I'm not a big fan of January...but this year I've found something that has made me reconsider the virtues of January. I have chosen my word for the year. The theme on which most of my resolutions hang. The word that I hope to make mine for the entire year.
I want you to choose your word. YOUR word. The word you're going to live by in 2009. The word that will inspire you to become a greater you. Choose that word and you can scrap WHY you chose it and HOW you are going to make it change you OR you can scrap just your word. There are NO rules...let your word (and yourself) shine through! Here's a little inspiration:
Layout artist: Me (Rachel)

newspaper swirls, and flowers from Aja Abney
