Catching up on a Sunday!

I think I blinked and lost the first 2 weeks of January.  Life is busy!  Life is full!  I have 4 events in January alone.  I am playing catch up daily!  In fact, I just called the hotel to book my room *gasp*   for Ready...Set...Crop's winter wonderland event next weekend.  AND also just finished putting together a double page layout for a class I will offer at RSC, Scrappin' Sistas and Cool Crops.  Would you like a sneak peek?  Here you go...
