HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
Now that you’ve clanked some pots and pans, kissed a special person at midnight, watched the ball drop, partied till 3 am, or, ahem, celebrated in your dreams, it’s that time when you have an opportunity to make and start keeping your New Year’s resolutions!
It’s a chance to start fresh. To forget failures of the past and move on with newfound confidence! I love it. I’ll share with you a few of mine!
- Learn to play the ukulele
- Learn how to use my camera and take better pictures
- Read more books
- Be a better influence on those around me
- Make more time for crafty projects
- Send more cards to friends and family
What are some of your new goals? Leave me a comment and I’ll pick four of you to win this punchy giveaway from Fiskars!
Comment below by Thursday, January 3rd at 5 pm MST!
My resolutions for the year are:
1. Stop being so hard on myself
2. Learn to say no to others
3. Cut back on buying supplies and
4. Use up the supplies I have
5. Have a huge garage sale after purging my entire house
6. Keep a gratitude journal
Thank you so very much for your amazing giveaway and Blog Hop. My resolution this year is to grow my volunteer base to help our Family Readiness Program for Deployed Soldiers. We live 4 hours away from the nearest base and yet have aproximately 1500 Soldiers currently deployed locally. Those Soldiers have small children that are left behind with their caregivers and Mother’s and they don’t have alot of the resources that being on base would provide. We as volunteers do everything in our power to get together and throw parties and bring the wives and children together so they have a support group and the kids can be with people who understand what it’s like to have a parent who is away for 15 months. I craft so the children have decorated treat bags, decorations, small gifts, cards to send to their parents. I am also making cards to send to the Soldiers so they can pick one from a mini “Card Store” that they can send home to their wives, children or other family members as well. We are deploying another 2000 Soldiers in 11 months from our units here in our hometown. It also is my resolution to make sure I am diligent in sitting down EVERY Day to ensure I can send enough cards with my husband to open up a “Shop” when they arrive in Afghanistan. Thank you so very much for your wonderful magazine. I buy it when I am not buying crafting supplies for the program. You and your designers help me so often in my crafting of cards! Happy New Year to each and every one of you!
My one goal is to take better care of myself… If I could achieve that, a lot of things will follow automatically, like better health, better weight, more rest, more happiness.
Happy 2013 to you all!
My resolution: To enjoy the moment! Although things might not be the way you want them, life goes by so quickly you just need to be grateful for the moment you have.
I just want to be organized! And I’m going to concentrate more on God this year.
My resolutions for the upcoming year are:
1. to be more active in selling my creations not just in making them
2. to get my craft room finished, more cosy and more organised
3. to spend more quality time with my husband and my kids
4. to live more healthy and more active life
4. to lose some weight that remaind after the birth of my third child
I wish to all of you a happy new year and that all your new year resolution come true. Thank you for the opportunity to get this amazing giveaway. It’s gorgeous!
Blessings, Aleksandra

Oh My Oh My!!! This is a Fantabulous way to Start the 2013 Creative Year!!! Thanks so much for the chance to win. Smooches…
I found paper crafting last year and, being a perfectionist, it has been difficult to enjoy because my crafts are less than perfect. This year, my goal is to craft for fun and to use my new found hobby be a blessing to someone by sending my handcrafted cards to friends. Thank you for the inspiration and I hope to one day be featured in one of your magazines
Be kind to myself/make time for yoga.
Glad to see I’m not the only one who struggles with getting cards in the mail on time! Working on that, too… enjoying the creative journey, though.
Thanks for the chance to win these fun punches!

Great resolutions! I found myself nodding through your list (other than maybe the ukulele). Just don’t go leaving PC for the Polynesian Palace.
A few of my resolutions are:
1. Be nice, especially when I don’t feel like it.
2. Send out more cards.
3. Get more sleep.
4. Increase my treadmill time to 6 days/week (even if it’s just 10 minutes on days 5 & 6).
5. Achieve a few crafty goals (like posting some videos for my blog, blog more often, submit more, enter at least one big contest, and leave more comments).
6. Potty train my youngest and subsequently celebrate with a giant margarita and a spa day.
Have a great year!
