I love the duplication of lined paper on either side of your layout and your excellent use of white space. Great choice to use a BW photo. It makes the elements really pop on the crisp white background.
I like your excellent resolutions for the new year! Plus, you have a great crew to keep you happy and joyful. I too am in favor of reading more books. I shipped several boxes of delightful titles from my library in Texas to my little cottage in the USVI. However, they've been waiting 2 months for me to sit still long enough to read. LoL!
