Okay, I can go on and on about how I'm not that great of a blogger, but we all already know that. So instead of recapping what has taken place in the past two and a half months, lets just move forward.
First off: as a rule I don't make New Year's Resolutions because, lets face it - they generally don't make it past Valentine's Day, well...at least mine haven't.
BUT I am going to give myself the challenge of getting on here once a week to at least post something, anything, in hopes of instilling a good habit.
I cannot promise that it will always be crafting related but my goal is to make this a creative blog.
So if anyone finds me rushing in at zero hour just to say hello, don't be surprised.
I do honestly hope to get better at this and make it part of my artistic routine.
Wish me luck!!
I cannot guarantee that I will have another post before the end of this year, so I am going to get all of my Yuletide Greetings and Thanks out now.
Since we just had Thanksgiving let me say Thanks to several people that have helped to make my life whole and to also extend my Christmas wishes to you. Hopefully I will not leave anyone aside, please forgive me if I do. You have my permission to remind me that I am as loopy as ever.
John, Thank you for being you and loving me!
Mom & Wayne, I love you very much!
Keith, I may not always be the best sister - but I do care and love you!
Vonda & Big John, Thank you so much for everything and for always including me. I love you both a pretty whole lotta muches.
Grandma & Grandpa Laff, Aunt Dawn & Uncle Alex, Bryan, Nathan, Aunt Sharon, Dustin & Kari, Garret & Aubrey & Dylan, Shanelle & Hayden & Bree: It means the world to me that you are all the awesome people that you are and that you make me feel included in the wonderful group that is all of you.
Grandma K, I am thankful that you have passed down this wonderful gift of creativity. It has been my solace at times of great need and without it I would be lost. Much love to you!
Aunt Dale, I send you lots of hugs and love!!
Anita & Jimmy & Heather & Jennifer & Justin: Big smmmooochhyy wet kisses to all of ya! A special thanks to Anita for being my voice of reason when I get on my tangents and temporarily loose my mind. ;)
Edana, you are such a dear and wonderful friend to me. Your unconditional love and support always surprises and touches me. You have a deep affection and warmth that is genuine and endless and I am so completely grateful for you!
Nicole, you have been there during dark time and loopy times. You remind me of the importance of quality time. I enjoy our late coffee nights and I appreciate it that you never seem to tire of hearing me babble. Thank you for always being there!
Vanessa & Eric: I don't think I can express my appreciation for you two enough. Love you bunches!!! I include Diana & Misha & Colin & Charlotte & Grandma & Grandpa in that love too!
Denise, Veronica, Jenny, DiAnne & Chrysti: You gals rock! You inspire me and make me feel very special every time we get together.

Jen, Amy, Jose, Lauren, Kim, Mr. & Mrs. McCormick, Aunt Shirley, & Aunt Pat: Thank you all so much for all the laughter that you let me in on whenever I'm around any of you. I do appreciate it very much.
To the Geeks!!! Oh my, there are soooo many so I unfortunately will lump you all together, but know that whether as a group or individually you all make me laugh and smile and think and wonder and just all around have such a fun time. I am sooooo happy that John found all of you extraordinary people and that you've welcomed us into the fold so warmly.
And for the gals that I've gotten to chat with on the scrapbook site, well thanks for all the giggles, appreciation, and encouragement!
Okay...I am pretty sure I've goofed and am forgetting some folks, again...please forgive me.
I wish each and everyone a warm, safe, and healthy Christmas season. I want nothing but peace and happiness for all of us. Lots of hugs, tons of laughter, but most of all love and joy!
Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!
With Much Love,
~Ren
