This year I'm tickled to be inspired by Ali Edwards' idea of "One Little Word".
You can read about it here and here.
To paraphrase a part of her article:
"A single word can be a powerful thing. It can be a catalyst for enriching your life".
As soon as I read that, I knew that my New Years Resolution would be to hold one word close to my heart. And my word is
I want to create healthy meals for my family.
I want to create learning opportunities for Kylie.
I want to create playful days and funny days; loving days and peaceful days.
I want to create beautiful photos and scrapbook pages.
I could go on and on but you get the point.
Create.
Should be fun!
Happy New Year Everyone!

That's awesome! I like it. It's very versatile.
Happy New Year!
I am very inspired by your scrapbook pages! I would like to try...are you creating them as web pages and then printing them? If so, what site do you use? Thanks!
What a neat idea! Much better than a list of unrelated items that set you up to fail when you can't get to even half of them. Thanks for sharing. And Happy New Year!
What a great idea! And "create" is such an inspiring word. I think it will be more fulfilling to dedicate yourself to a concept like that!
I really like this idea--it doesn't box a person in like a resolution does, and it inspires change throughout nearly every aspect of one's life. I'm definitely doing this too.
Beautiful end-of-year page as well!
"Inspirational" is the right word - for this idea, as well as for the entire blog.
I love reading about your relationship with Karen and Kylie, seeing your beautiful scrapbook pages and reading great posts like this.
Thank you :-)
love your blog.
really enjoyed this post and would love to know how you made the super cool "create" - could you email me? celestialspirit13 at yahoo
thanks.
Dear Tekfan33,
Hi there and thanks for your recent comment. You had asked how I create my scrapbook pages and I wanted to send you a reply (couldn't find your email address).
I use the software Adobe Photoshop to do my digital scrapbooking. Although Photoshop Elements works just as well! I do the pages on my computer and then upload them to Flickr to share with you.
I have the pages printed at my nearby Costco store and then put them in page protectors in a scrapbooking album here at home.
If you are just getting started with digital scrapbooking, I heartily recommend taking Jessica Sprague's "Up and Running class" You can find her website at: http://jessicasprague.com/.
I plan to take her next class "Now we're Running" when it is offered this year.
My favorite website for digital papers so far has been Jen Wilson designs. I think her work is beautiful.

I also like Katie Pertiet’s embellishments and stamps. You can find her at:

Here are a few more favorite digital scrapbooking websites.

Scrapbookgraphics.com

This is probably far more information than what you wanted but I find digital scrapbooking so fun--just want to share the love!
I have to warn you though. Shopping for digital supplies can be incredibly addictive!
Thanks again for your comments. They mean more to me than you know!
Take care,
Wendy
