Sneak Peak & Sketchy Blog Hop

This happens to be most favorite day to share things I find on the web that I think would interest you.

First thing I would love to share with you is the latest sneak peek from weScrap. This is a peak of the January kit which I happen to have sitting on my scrap desk right now. It truly is lovely. If you love shabby and vintage then this kit will be perfect for you. Make sure to check the weScrap site on the 5th for the full kit reveal and to see all the wonderful creations by our iTeam members!

I also wanted to share with you some great New Years Quotes I found today on the web:

“An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in.  A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.”  ~Bill Vaughan

“A New Year’s resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other.”  ~Author Unknown

“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right. ” ~Oprah Winfrey

“May all your troubles last as long as your New Year’s resolutions.”  ~Joey Adams

“Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man. ” ~Benjamin Franklin

“Sing and dance and make good cheer,
let’s make it last throughout the year.” ~ Unknown author

Here are some great New Year Titles.

weScrap has just released their lovely January kit for sale. All I can say is…. yummy!! It is so much prettier in real life:

Blogging about Blogging

I love reading Blogs!  I must admit that when I am not browsing CCAS, eBay or another favorite website, I am usually trapped in this bizarre, never-ending circle of blogs.  When I find a blog that captures my interest, there is always links to a zillion other blogs – all of which capture my interest.  Sometimes late at night I find myself reading blog after blog after blog.  I don’t necessarily browse them for the everyday chitchat that is recorded, most of the blogs I visit are home to people I have never heard of – scrapbooking blogs hold an insane amount of inspiration!

There are a few that I seem to return to time and time again. There is some serious inspiration to be had!  Enjoy!
