Good morning ! I've been working so far during the Christmas break ,but as of today I am on a mini vacation for the next week ! It has been snowing here in southern NB since last night and everything outside is beautifully covered with fluffy snow !
A few of the blogs I visit have posted their favorite projects for the year 2009 and I thought this was a fun idea ,so I 'm going to share with you the layouts I loved the best this year ! My 2 very favorites are going to be published in January so I can't share those yet.....soon !

Yardboy is a layout of Gabriel as a toddler, my mother in law had taken this sweet photo of him helping out with the gardening chores !!
The next generation -love this one because of that little tree!

Love you - I made this layout using the May kit (Spring into Summer) for my Dt work at Scrapperie in May. It was my first time making these fun little pinwheels,love how they turned out.

Roller Hockey - Love these Bo Bunny papers.

I finally received my December kit from Coordinates Collections and I had so much fun making these layouts , I think I went a little crazy on the chipboard elements, but I like how everything turned out. I think this was my very favorite kit since starting on the DT at CC.

Princesse des coeurs

As I said before I rarely scrapbook in french even though I speak it.I just find it easier to do it in english because most of the supplies I love are english !
This is a layout of my niece Anna-Elle (age 3 1/2).I made a similar layout for my other niece Amelie and liked how it turned out so I made one for Anna-Elle. :)
