Things are slowly setting back into that routine of wake-up, go to work/school, go back to bed, it seems. I’m actually happy about it. I think I like the routine. It feels weird to not have it. Anyone else like that?

I’m doing well with my resolutions of improving. It reminds me I need to do some documentation on it. Like you, I have the perfect buffet for it, the Hopes and Dreams collection. Now the problem is choosing which pieces to use. I have the same issue, trying to decide which layouts to show off!

Created by mom2triplets04. I love how the letters for “Hope” are hanging. It really makes the layout! I think that’s a dream, a goal, that we all have!

Created by missdamsel. I love two-pages, and this is just beautiful. I love how the shots are focused on a little bit of everything, including the bride and groom.

Created by Tree City. I love that two different births were used in one layout. It is just too precious!

Remember, that when you spend $10 in the store, you get an amazing grab bag created by one of our amazing designers. January’s has been created by Laetitia, of Kawouette Designs, and it is just lovely!

I hope you have an amazing week, and we’ll see you again very soon!

Okay, we’ve had a few days to get used to it being 2013. I’ve already had to write it once on a check. I’m so proud of myself! I didn’t mess up with it, either! Yay! Go me. Instead, I messed up on the month. I tried to say it was December 2013. Yeah, that’s a little too far into the future. Oh well!

I still can’t believe that it’s truly 2013 though. Who has already abandoned those resolutions? Not me! Not yet. Give me time. I’m sure I will!

If you’re not planning on quitting them, make sure you check out the Hopes and Dreams buffet by the Gingerscraps designers! Keep track of those goals and achievements with a beautiful combination of blues, purples, and yellows! I seriously love this month’s buffet, and choosing layouts using it was not easy!

A Facebook timeline created by beckyroy. The cluster work on this is just amazing. I love it!

A beautiful layout created by Lisa. I don’t know about anyone else, but that sounds like goals I have. I love the little floating flowers around, and use of white space.

Gorgeous layout created by Nickala27. I love reading about other people’s “word” for the year. Hope is such a good one! Beautiful cluster work and use of the brads.

Before I let you go and raid the store, because I know you want to, Pixelily Designs is having a CT call. If you think it might be something you’d be a good fit for, make sure you apply!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday, we celebrate Christmas at our house, and it was a perfect day! I can not wait to see the gallery full of your beautiful holiday photographs!

I realized something crazy today … This is the last Fresh Baked Newsletter for 2012! In a few short days we will celebrate the arrival of 2013! Throw some glitter in the air and hug the ones you love, lets fill 2013 with pages and pages of memories in our scrapbooks!

Has your winter brought you any snow?  We’re supposed to be getting some snow after the new year, perfect for making more layouts using Snowball Fight. I just adore this buffet so much!

Here are a few of the layouts that I picked to showcase! The last for 2012!

Created by Roknbear. I love the angled pictures. They just totally work!

Created by missdamsel. It’s a Two-Pager! I love how this turned out! The clusters and random snowflakes are wonderful!

Created by AriadnesClue. I love the extraction! Such a pretty tree!

Well, I asked for snow. I got the snow. I didn’t get a lot, but I really did get some. They’re hinting at a White Christmas too. What I didn’t bargain for was the ice. Or the resulting snow day. Oh well, it’s so pretty outside, looking at all the whiteness. For those in the path of “Draco”, be safe! It’s a very windy storm. It’s also a very cold storm!

This week, I decided to dip into the “Buffet Challenge” layouts. There are some amazingly beautiful layouts there!

Created by Victoria32. I love that the focus is on the pictures. Plus, as someone obsessed with nutcrackers, I love that nutcracker!

Created by Joy2Scrapbook. I love lights, and these pictures are just amazing! The paper choices work SO well with it all!

created by gwtwred. I love the journaling around the W. That is SO cute! I love the W, period! I’m going to have to lift this layout for sure!
