Moments in Time

"Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man." - - Benjamin Franklin

Happy New Year! I've given up making resolutions. I never keep them and then it's just one more thing to feel guilty about. I can feel guilty about enough things, I don't need to add anything! ;-) However, I do think I'm going to try this: http://www.triplux.com/dayzero/. I learned about this from my Sept98mom friend, Gwyneth. You make a list of 101 things that you are going to accomplish in 1001 days (approx. 2.75 years). I like this because it's a big enough list that I'm sure to complete a few things here and there which be encouraging (I'm accomplishing things) rather than discouraging (when I don't accomplish that New Year's resolution).

One more sort of New Year's-y thing I'm doing is deciding on a word for the year. Check out Ali Edward's blog for details. I know that I want my next year to be calmer and more organized (which will make it calmer). I'm just not sure of the right word yet...

For you stampers, here's a card sketch in honor of the New Year (click on any of these images to make them larger):

The sketch was inspired by my current foster dog, Chloe. (Isn't she cute?)

One more new thing.... the new Angel Company catalog & idea book is here.

There are lots of new stamp sets and a ton of new accessories and tools! Best of all... we now carry both the Bind It All and the Scor-Pal. Both of those have been on my wish list; I'm so excited! I'll be having a catalog Open House on January 19th to show off the new catalog and some of the great new items. Email me if you'd like details.

Have a great weekend!
