Scrap Your Trip C*L*E*A*R*A*N*C*E – Part 2

Did you know elves use "Inspector Numbers"?  Neither did we.  One of Logan’s packages from Santa came wrapped in brown paper with "Inspected by Elf #2143" (see pictures below) written on the package.  Now what’s interesting about this is that prior to this, unbeknownst to us, Logan though that there was no Santa and his presents came from Mom and Dad.  Apparently, Santa uses the same Avery address labels on his packages as we have in the office and Logan was sure that meant that his Santa presents came from Mom and Dad.  But Elf #2143 has changed all that and Logan once again believes in Santa.

It was a very good Christmas in the Swatek house.  We did our annual "Feast of the Seven Fishes" for Christmas Eve.  It’s an Italian tradition we borrowed from some old neighbors, even though we’re not Italian.  We only had four different kinds of seafood this year, but it was still yummy. 

I am amazed that today is the last day of 2008.  It doesn’t seem that long ago that it was 1999 and we were all waiting for the world to go awry for Y2K.  Just like everyone else, I find myself looking back on the year.  However, unlike prior years, I don’t look back on this year with any regrets.  I have learned to appreciate what I have and focus on all that is good and abundant in my life.  I have a healthy family, thriving children, a successful business, food, shelter, clothing and a whole building of scrapbook supplies.  What more could a girl possibly want?

Oh…about those scrapbook supplies…I just added another 300 or so to our end-of-the-year clearance.  There are still close to 300 items marked down 40% and over 1,000 items marked down 25%.  Click here to see all the items on sale:  http://www.scrapyourtrip.com/clearance.html

As always, thanks for your business.  Talk to you next year!
