It's pitiful...you go on a road trip....you get behind when traveling...then you get home and all your chores are piled up laundry is piled up ,you get home to a semi-empty refrigerator....then life resumes and so I plan on catching up this week on all fronts!

First up, I SOOO meant to post this as my COUNTDOWN to 2012 BUT since I had no real internet connection @ dad's, I could not post not one single thing....So, here we go-the catchup!!   I didn't do as many layouts in 2011 as I would've liked; I think I was shooting for about 100 and only got to maybe 72?? But, I'll take it :):)
