Hello there!

December was fantastic but I'm glad 2012 is over.

It was a year of upheaval for our family.

Jobs lost and new ones gained.

Schedules torn assunder.

Throughout I tried to keep focus on what was important.

1 man. 1 woman. 1 child.

The page started out as a super clean and simple design with just the center photo but I kept adding to the design. I also ran out of "s" letters so I had to change the lyrics a bit.

 

It's easy to let the pressure get to you and even easier to turn on each other when you feel the situation is out of your control.

So I made a page using song lyrics from a song that's currently on "repeat" on my ipod.

I love these Studio Calico alphas but they are a royal pain to get straight on a page!

I played around with the Crate Paper collection and made a page to hang on my wall and remind myself that 2012 was crazy but our family found ways to stay connected.

 

I used two of my favorite flair sets- Photo booth and Sunburst on white.

I used the following A Flair For Buttons set of this page:

Sunburst White and Color set

2013 is here and I welcome the new challenge.

Schedules change, work gets demanding but fun should never take back seat.
