Start Your Year Off Right!
Do you ever wish you had a personal scrapbooking coach who sat on your shoulder, reminding you to jot down the cute thing your kiddo just said, to keep track of the inspiring color combo you saw at the paint store, or to just give you a good, swift kick in the heinie to get you started scrapbooking again?
Well, it may not be possible to hire someone to carry your cropping bag and take notes, but you can have your own personal carry-with-you reminder... it's the Scrapbooker's All-in-One Memory Log Book from Kristin Rutten at Log Your Memory. 
From worksheets documenting the prices of common items, to weekly challenges, to oodles of space to record your thoughts and memories on a daily basis, the Log Book is the answer to a busy scrapper's prayers! As soon as I opened the package and started leafing through the 392 pages, my heart started a'pitta patting!
Admittedly, I'm addicted to calendars and journals, so this feeds right into my addiction... but even if you don't own six at a time and switch them out, you'll still love the versatility of the Log Book. You can use as much or as little as you like -- leave it on the kitchen counter to record thoughts during the day, or stash it in your nightstand for end-of-the-day downloading.
Her website also includes workshops and classes, a community board, and fun blog!
Now, you're probably wondering why I'm getting you all excited about this book... and here's why: Kristin has generously offered three prizes to Ella readers:
1. One copy of the 2010 Log Book in your choice of perfect or spiral bound
2. One copy of "List My Life" (which you know I adore... I'm all about lists!)
3. A free download of any existing downloadable book in their on-site store
All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling us your favorite memory of 2009 (don't have one? Make one up!). Hurry, though - contest ends at Midnight 12/31!

I think my favorite memory would be driving a small section of the blue ridge parkway, and the kids excitedly getting out at each overlook to exclaim over the view, and then oohing and aahing thru each tunnel.
My best memory of 2009 was a visit I made to my family in Brazil. Seeing all of them waiting for us at the airport was amazing, I cried like a baby for at least half an hour...
One of my favorite memories of 2009 was Mother's Day. Mother's Day fell on May 10th, which is also my youngest daughter's birthday, so we were able to celebrate our special day at the same time, including having breakfast in bed together.
My favorite memory of 2009 was hearing and watching my daughter sing with the NJ Youth Chorus.
Cool! I saw this sometimes ago and I thought it was awesome. :) Let's see, favorite memories of 2009? There are so many to choose from... I'll go with our summer vacations where we just hung around, sleeping in and being together without a fully loaded agenda for a month. What a change from our regular schedule! :)
How my future BIL proposed to my Sis.
My favorite memory of 2009 was seeing President Obama's motorcade go by Carleton University (where I work) when he was in Ottawa on February 19th.
Getting to be the one to say, "It's a boy?" when our third baby turned out to be just that after two girls.
my favorite memory of 2009 is when my sweet baby Faith was born. how amazing it was to see her little face for the first time.
My favorite memory of 2009 was meeting Kelly Rae Roberts & realizing that she is a down to earth, amazing human being...and a fantastic artist!
Michelle and Randy were uncharacteristically late to our house for dinner. The phone rings just as our other friends, Michele and Todd, arrive. "Well," Michelle says on the other end of the phone, "We won't be making dinner, uh I don't think this little girl will be going out tonight." What. . wait-a-minute, did you say "Little girl!" "Yep she arrived at 5:30 this morning." Huh? You weren't due for another week. You were fine yesterday when we firmed up our dinner plans. Hand the phone to Michele as I try to figure this out. "WHAT? OH MY GOD YOU HAVE A KID!!!???" Hysterical laughing and jumping up and down ensues. (August 2, 2009)
Sitting on the beach in Cape Cod watching my kids play with each other in the ocean. The sun, the wind, the sound of the waves and my kids enjoying each other. It was wonderful.
Enjoy your day!

The birth of my daughter, Audrey. :)
My favorite memory was picking out our new puppy and bringing her home.
My favorite memory of 2009 was the birth of my very first nephew! He is such a joy!
Most favorite memory - getting togehter with the "girls" for creative time. I always feel so peaceful and productive - and laugh more in a day than I do in a month!
Moving into our new house was the highlight of 2009!

My favorite memory has to be the Thanksgiving table- filled with all the people I love the best!
Taking our boys to Lego Land for "the Best Vacation Ever".
My favorite memory of 2009 was spending a week on the beach with no access to email or the web. Our family really connected that week and we hope to repeat it in 2010.
One of my favorite memories was at the finish line of the Breast Cancer 3 Day. All crew and walkers do a "shoe salute" to the breast cancer survivors ... we all took one shoe off and held it in the air as the survivors arrived at closing ceremonies. It truly is an incredible sight - not a dry eye around!
My favorite memory of 2009 was a wet and wild (and cold) SeaDoo ride with my boys at 6 mile like. Happy Newy Year and good luck to all!

What a cool giveaway! My favorite memory (although it's bittersweet) of 2009 was watching my oldest son (senior in high school) perform in his marching band uniform for the last time. Marching band has been such a huge part of his life for the last 4 years and to see how the seniors reacted to the end was quite emotional - their senior circle moment will be etched in my memory for years to come.
My favorite memory from this year is when the Moms attacked the kids with silly string. I am sure it is not the kid's favorite memory. But we got some fun and great in the moment pictures. It was fun!
oh my 2009...on of my favorite memories is our plane ride from denmark to seattle...moving home to the us. it was full of emotions and adventure!
Meeting my niece for the first time on the day she was born. That was back in February. Also watching her grow and change and bond with her sister and my 2 daughters.
My favorite memory of 2009 is getting my master's degree. Walking across that stage to get my diploma is one of the highlights of my life. I'm glad my husband made me walk the walk.
Wow...just one...can I look through my photos to jog my memory? I'm going to go with ... seeing Wicked with my daughters (ages 13 and 11) in Omaha. Whew, now the pressure's off! My second favorite would be my son's 2nd grade cowboy report and his presentation at school!
Mine would have to be seeing the faces of my students before Christmas break realizing that I cared enough to buy them each a Christmas present. I found out a few of my students would not be having Christmas due to financial issues so I supplied presents to all of my kids.
