a note to myself - 2013

Profound.

Enlightening.

Inspiring.

and a bit of magic.

To read a note I wrote to myself on 12/31/12, written one year earlier, was a truly super cool thing.  Nobody knows me like me, right?  Nobody knows what I truly want for myself like I do.  And nobody knows just what to say.  I am SO glad I did this.  It was easy to commit to doing it again.

This year I did a different approach.  I created a layout.  There's a lot of layers here, but in the center is an envelope and in that envelope is another letter to myself, that I won't open until 12/31/13.  

I'm really excited about this one, because I have some serious goals and I'm really looking forward to opening it up and checking off a few things from the bucket list at the end of the year.

I had fun with design on this one.  I used goodies from my January kit from Gossamer Blue as well as items from my stash.

And just like last year, I included a recent family picture, this one was from New Years Eve, as well as a self-portrait.  I took that one with my new iPhone.  I'm not normally a fan of self-portraits but you need to get yourself in the picture every once in a while.

I hope you had a chance to play along with this challenge.  It isn't too late!
My plan is to tuck this layout in at the end of my scrapbook so it'll be easy to find at the end of the year.

2011 is here.
And the first time I did this I created a pillow box.  You can check that note here.

Have a great day!  The kids and I are both back to school tomorrow.  I'm headed to a first-grade class this time.  I'm super excited about it!  I graduate in May!
