Happy New Year!!!! and my last layouts for 2010!!!

First of all, let me greet you A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
2010 was a roller coaster ride for me in terms of my emotions, health and so many other stuff.   But I'm really  glad to be able to survive it... thanks to the help and support of my loving husband Henry and my dear son Harvey who keeps me busy - enough not to think about it.  Thanks also to my ever supportive family back in the Philippines and also my friends who constantly messages me specially in FB. Thanks to all my friends and new found friends here in Australia... you made adjusting to my new life here quite easy and fun. Thank you guys!!! And of course just wanna thank the Lord for all the blessings He continuously showers us.

Scrappy side of my life....  we'll I have been scrapping...  but not as active as I was a year ago - maybe because of our big move over here--- i still have to get the hang of it. But still, I'm glad to be able to scrap... it also helps me not to feel homesick when I do.  So one of my new year's resolution.... to get back into scrapping and blogging this coming year.  I'm a bit ok now...  unlike my first few months that I have been crying almost everyday because of loneliness or being homesick.  Hopefully, i can get back the things I usually do - lots of crafts!!! I just love it!!!

Before the year ends....  I would like to share 4 of my latest layouts from a kit I bought from Scrapbook Savvy.  Hope you like it and will continue to visit me in my humble corner....

Love your LO that you posted Cookie. You are so talented and your work is always a delight to behold.
I hope that 2011 is a better year for you and that the ache of home sickness wanes. I hope that your health is going well.
I came into CC to give you a Christmas card that I made for you but Maria said that you were not working in the holidays. Now I can't find where I put the card.
See you soon. Take care
love Jenny
