Hi Ladies, Happy New Year!!

In 2014 I'm going for Priceless Memory Preserver.

In 2013 we cleaned and reorganized the Family Room. Sorting through old photo albums and cleaning out stuff left me little time to scrap. The end result is great though, we now we have beautiful new cabinets for our books and our wine. Now that this project is done (for the most part) I hope to have more time to scrap.

Goals for 2014:

Labeling of-
New baskets in Family Room
Wine bottles in new wine storage racks in Family Room
Rest of plastic containers in Scrap Room

Finish Albums of-
Marshall's First Year
Marshall's Baby Album

Start and complete albums of-
Disney Cruise Line 2012
Disney Cruise Line 2013.

Life goals-
Work out 3 times a week, hopefully 4
Drink more water instead of Pop.

That's a start. May blessings come to each and every one of you in 2014!!
