FEBRUARY 2008
This year we get an extra day to spend in February. Will you treat February 29th as just another day, or celebrate it spending time on something you’ve always wanted to do or accomplish? I think I will scrapbook on February 29th.

Before we get to the end of the month we have plenty of other occasions to celebrate. Children will be celebrating the 100th day of school along with Abraham Lincoln and George Washington’s birthdays. We can’t forget Ground Hog Day and Marti Gras.

The most popular day of the month is February 14th, Valentines Day. On this day across the country, loved ones will be exchanging candy, flowers, and gifts. In the spirit of the day, I’ve compiled a list of a few things I love. Create your own list of the things you love and take time to enjoy them.

MY LOVE LIST (OR FAVORITE THINGS)
My Husband and Children
My Children’s Smile
My Family
My Friends
My Yellow Labs
Dove® Chocolate
French Vanilla Cappuccino
Pizza and Bread
Football, high school, collegiate and professional
Camping and reading a book by a campfire
The movie Chicago and Dances With Wolves
My iTunes Music, mostly country but I’m flexible
A Quiet House
Photography, Scrapbooking and my Laptop …..just to name a few.

These layouts are of a few things that I love … my family, camping and of course scrapbooking with pcCrafters.

Have a great month!
