New Layout!

Just a quick little post to tell you I have a new layout! Just starting the year off with something fresh is inspiring. It's nothing elaborate. I'm not well educated on blogger's html stuff. But it makes me happy, so I just wanted to share. And if you are reading this in a reader then here's a little screenshot! Hope that everyone is enjoying their weekend! Hoping to blow through some projects tomorrow. Wish me luck!...

Wreck this Journal

For Christmas, I received the Wreck this Box journal set. It comes with Wreck this Journal, Mess and This is Not a Book. I am so excited about working on these!

This post could be long if I let it, so instead I will split it into "groups". Short, sweet and to the point. Depression. This has possibly been the worst month so far. I haven't done any projects since the Aqua End Table. Half way through the month, I told myself I would just focus on getting the house clean. I have cleaned, some. Christmas was a disaster but I will go into that next. I guess the best thing that did happen this month is that I finally talked to my mom. I told her that I think I need help and she agreed. I do such a good job of hiding  my depression from everyone, so she was proud...
