Happy New Year . . .

I've never really made new year's "resolutions"  . . . but this year I am setting a couple of goals for myself with regards to my scrapbooking . . . just certain things I want to be better about . . . one of those goals is to post more often (I'm shooting for at least once a week) on my blog . . .

The other goal is to start using up some of the scrap stuff I've been hoarding . . . I'm always buying new products when they come out and some of it sits for way too long . . .

No more!!  This year I have made a goal to start using those older paper packs, embellishments, etc. and to dig some of the dozens and dozens of stamp sets out and USE THEM!!!  What a concept, huh?!?!

I have found that a great way to use my products is through Project Life . . . I totally heart PL!!! Here is one of the pages from my 2012 pages (I'm struggling with getting my pictures the correct size . . . I'll post more tomorrow when I have better light to take photos and more time to mess with them - sure think this could be WAY easier with all of the technological advances we've made - if anybody has any quick and easy picture posting advice I would greatly appreciate it):

For my new 2013 PL book I am not buying a core kit (I did for 2012 and it was a great way to start). . . instead I am going through my oldies but goodies and I have joined 2 different monthly subscription clubs . . . Cocoa Daisy's stamp subscription club ($14.50 for a minimum of 3 beautiful, acrylic stamp sets mailed to your home every month - I LOVE THAT!!) and, more recently, the new Project Life monthly subscription kit through Studio Calico (OMG . . . love these kits . . . .  $24.99/month for a great fun pack of PL cards and embellishments not to mention their website loaded with information, videos, etc. about PL) . . .

I'd love to hear your thoughts and your crafty goals for 2013.

Thanks for stopping by . . .
