Sistahs!
Happy new year to you all! We had a great new years eve.. wanna know what we did? K, I’ll tell you. My girlfriends Caryn and Melissa and I ordered dinner and went to Mel’s house ( Oh ya, the kidlets and the hubs’ were there too 🙂
We each had our laptops and our toys (IPOD ITOUCH’s) and were downloading applications (including the price is right and deal or no deal) and then we tried to figure out how to download movies.. this was not an easy feat sistahs. We all didnt know how to do it.. we were figuring out brakelite, squidoo (??) and other websites to facilitate these downloads to no avail.. Melissa is stil downloading her first movie..lol and it is 3 days later. Needless to say, I MISS that dining room table where lots of laughter, drinks and cake was shared by all! We had an absolutely FAB-O time.. New Years day, a group of our friends went to see the tales of DESPEREAUX.. a new movie out for the kidlets
who can resist this FACE????
I am in LOVE with this little gentleman.. and that is WHO he is.. a little gentleman full of bravery and fearlessness. Not your “typical” mouse i tell ya. The movie itself is a little long but just looking at that mousie’s face makes it well worth it. So if you have little ones that would enjoy this movie, please take them and give a SMOOCHIE to despereaux from DA BELLA will ya?
Guess what we did after DA MOVIE? We returned with our laptops to Mel’s house and resumed positions at that fateful dining room table and ate leftovers. We still tried to figure out HOW TO DOWNLOAD da movies and laughed throughout cuz it didn’t work. hmph. double hmph.
Some new years resolutions
Be happy with who I am. (and diet)
Enjoy EVERY moment (and diet)
Save money (keep dreaming AND DIET)

Em
Happy New Year!! My focus this year is on Patience and Trust in the Lord. Of course I’m right there with you on diet as well!! 🙂
My biggest resolution is to build the savings account back up so DH and I can go on a vacation for our 5th Anniversary this year. Next on the list is to remember to mail the cards I make!!!! 🙂
I resolve to get my mojo back…I lost it. 🙁
I resolve to enjoy my stamping and give myself a break! The cards by Nicky are ADORABLE!!
I resolve to stamp/scrap a lot more! I need to catch up on my photos! I also want to start submitting my cards/pages to be published!
I have many, but my two most prominant would be to embrace the affrimation “Do my best and trust God to do the rest” and also to track some business numbers better so I can hit my targets more accurately.
It’s a good life!
Terri E.
I resolve to learn how to really use my camera, get organized, live a healthy lifestyle (which includes some mega dieting 🙂 and I would like to start volunteering somewhere.
My family has dubbed 2009 “Back to Basics” year. Basically, we have decided, as a family, to focus on the basic important things in our lives and let all the other “stuff” come second. Less tv, more books and games, more family time, less eating out, healthy eating, and for me better diet and exercise.
Sounds like you had a fabulous New Year’s with your amigas! DH and I have just been sitting around watching movies for the last few days 🙂 One of my New Year’s resolutions is to work on my scrapbooks regularly, and that’s one I’ve already started on. I also want to go to the gym regularly but I know I can’t diet…so I just need to cut back some on the sweets. Trying to come up with realistic goals here! 🙂
Hi Emily …. Thank you for posting those charming creations by Ms. Nicky; ~ **STUNNING**~
My New Years’ Resolution is to live each day, each moment, to my fullest ability. There is a saying [author unknown] that I have displayed in my stamp room, that depicts exactly this thought. It reads:
“LIFE IS NOT MEASURED BY THE BREATHS WE TAKE,
BUT BY THE MOMENTS THAT TAKE OUR BREATH AWAY.”
LOL..I hope the math questions don’t get any harder…..:P
Resolutions are not my thing…..nobody ever keeps them. However I am with you on that 4 letter word….DIET!! I also would like to stay true to my blog more often than every 3 months…..
Now back to my glass of grape juice (fermented) and my tiny leetle bowl of chippies!!!! No dip…it’s not on my diet…..*wink*
I resolve to USE my stuff….LOTS and LOTS of stuff…that I have been collecting and hoarding! I also need to stamp more, MUCH more. I tend to surf the ‘net too much, and stamp too little!
Have a VERY wonderful new year! Oh, and I think that mouse is the cutest little guy EVAH!!!! 😀
My resolutions are to eat healthier, excercise more (especially since I am NOT giving up chocolate), create more, spend less and save more and to try to enjoy life to its fullest.
These cards are just darling. I plan to get my craft room cleaned and organized – hopefully before the end of the year – lol.
a few resolutions on my end :
1. Spend more time in Gods word with my family. We bought a family devotional today.
2. save money
use the stuff I have including scraps before buying more things.
3. PRINT 10 photos a month, for me and to give away to family. I take around 200 or more a month.. but never print them 🙁
4. Give more of ME to my friends.
5. be thankful for what I have and reflect more on that
5. learn to sign. It is sad that my nephew is 6 and I know little sign language. This need to be bumped up on my list.
6. exercise and eat healthier
7. be a better mom, wife, daughter, sister, and friend… there is always room to grow, right?
Well, that about sums it up right there. Hope you have a wonderful year ahead Em. So glad I found you and the bellas this year. Hugs!!!
Be more accepting of how I look – diet and being more active (not giving up stamping though) would help too! Thank God more for all of my many blessings. Smile more – affirm other more – thing good thoughts – worry less – trust always in the goodness of God. Happy New Year to all.
Those cards are fantastic! So cute!!
My goal for 2009 is going to be get into better shape. I tried to buy some clothes today and it was made oh so obvious to me! On a grander scale than that though I am goint to try to take things as they come and just breathe!
Mwah to you! You are too funny! I am on the sam epage with the whole diet thing…we’ll see. I need to get back on my treadmill as well. Another resolution is to spend more time in my craft room, on SCS, and do more challenges.
LYLT~
My N.Y. Resolution – to lose these 20lbs of baby weight that haven’t disappeared since Matty was born – almost 9 months ago.
I resolve to put aside more time to scrap and stamp.
My short-term goals for 2009 are: 1) find a part-time job, so that I can help my family out with some of the bills. 2) I need to lose 20 lbs. – so I am looking for a really great exercise program that I can do in my own home. 3) I want to improve my skills in card making and start attempting some of the challenges.
Best wishes to you and your family for a great 2009!
My resolution is to make more cards this year and to try and watch more of what I eat (not so much chocolate) 🙂
I resolve not to have anymore kids 🙂 I love & adore the 2 DS’s that we have & that’s good enough for us 🙂 1st & only resolution that will be kept 🙂
I resolve to be kinder to myself and be more patient with other humans, despite their downfalls.
Can’t wait for the 2009 Bellas!!!
Too cute! I so wanna see that movie!
Ok, So #1 ~ Actually use my stamps!!!
#2 ~ Mail out every card I make just because as A RAK
#3 ~ Gut my house to only necessities & Garage sale the rest to pay off Christmas; LOL!!
FORGET THE DIET! MWAH!!!!!!!
I LOVE the eye candy from nikabella!!
Ok…some resolutions for me:
Keep my stamping area neat and organized so I can actually STAMP more!
Carve out more time to stamp even with the new baby
Loose my new baby weight. 🙂
Have a wonderful 2009 Queen Bella!
MWAH!
My New Year’s resolution is to take more time for myself. I plan to stamp as often as I can! Oh, and of course, DIET! 🙂
I have many resolutions – but the one I think that I will be able to keep is to have a journal where I write a little something about each day! So far so good – LOL!
I resolve to be more patient in 2009. And to get more crafting projects completed and caught up.
I have two resolutions this year. The first is to spend less time looking at “stuff” on the computer so I have more time to do other stuff like create cards and work on my scrapbooks and plan fabulous trips. Second, to be healthier by eating better foods and moving more (let’s not call it exercise). Good luck to us all!
Happy New Year, Em! I’m hoping to diet & exercise more in 2009 – the same resolution I’ve had for the past 20 years! Basically, I just want to live a healthier, balanced life. I’m hoping that’ll include weekly visits to Bellaland – I just LOVE your shop!
Happy New Year Em. I resolve to enjoy the next 6 months with my new daughter before I have to go back to work. I am also going to try and eat better and lose another 10 pounds. Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy!
I resolve to squash the negative and embrace the positive!
wish me luck! LOL!
Happy New Year to youa nd all the bellas! 🙂
Nicky is da bomb!!!! I have the same resolutions as always: stamp more, eat less!
Oh, I love Deal or No Deal! Have to look for that Application right away, hope I can figure it out.
My resolutions? Some are more personal, but I want to spend lots of time improving my stamping, some of my stamping time with my husband, and, like you Em, the diet thing is always in the back of my mind…sigh…wouldn’t it be nice to lose those last 25 pounds and never think about it again? Someday…why not 2009? (fingers crossed!)
The happiest new year to you and yours, sweet friend! Mwah!
I have two big goals- one- become a healthier person in 2009- both through watching what I eat and exercise. Two- actually send out birthday cards- on time! Great post- had me smiling throughout.
Happy New New Em!
My resolution is to clean the clutter in my house (and eat sensibly)
Play with the kids a bit more (and eat sensibly)
use up the SCHTUFF in my stamping room (and eat sensibly)
get outside more (once the snow melts of course)(and eat sensibly)
Have a great one, say hi to nicky for me and see you soon….
Happy New Year! I want to be able spend less $$ this year but the temptation always gets the better of me! Seeing those adorable cards makes me want to break my resolution and it’s only day #3 of the New Year!! I have no willpower when it comes to spending on stamps! 🙂
Love the eye candy!
I’m doing only one resolution this year and I hope that it will help in all areas. Sounds good right? Ok one word….FOCUS!
If I focus that should help with be more organized, finishing what I started, having more time to play, and of course to find that small body inside my body saying…..I WANT OUT! Thanks for a chance.
OMG… Sistah… we’re taking our little ones to see Despereaux today! I can’t wait. I read the book to a group of Third graders while I was substitute teaching last year and I can’t wait to see the movie!! I may be more excited than my little ones…hehehe
Okay… my New Years resolutions…. The big one is to work harder at being true to myself. Looking over the last few years I realized that there were more times than I would like to admit where I changed something about myself to be the person that someone else wanted me to be. Well NO MORE!! I’m me and if you don’t like it, well then, you can just NOT like me…..
That and I want to focus more on organization. My craft room for example, currently looks like a tornado when through it and I could definitely use some crafty therapy today. Instead, I’ll be spending the day cleaning and organizing it so that I can craft tomorrow!
Happy new Year!!
I resolve to be happy.
My top goal this year is to strengthen my relationship with the Lord and spend a portion of my everyday with Him! Oh…a diet would be a good thing for me too! Haha!
I definitely get the dieting thing. I am getting back on the WW bandwagon and have joined a WL Challenge with some friends.
Mostly I resolve to get more organized now that I am working again and map out time to craft so I can do fun things too.
AND exercise (now that is a bad word for sure… but we all need to).
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Resolutions! Wow, I hadn’t really thought about them until I saw your question. I guess people don’t ask like they used to! I am going to help my family be healthier, including myself. We need to get out more, enjoy the outdoors (esp. since we live in sunny Florida!). The kids are 11 & 13, it won’t be long until they truly have their own lives to live and Mom & Dad won’t be included! I personally want to finish scrapbooking our Med. cruise from 2006 – I have a good start but need to ‘resolve’ to finish it. Thanks for asking and getting my mind whirling! I hope you have a wonderful and safe 2009!
I’m resolving to be a better wife and mom, and have more fun with my kids.
I’m resolving to keep the house neater and stop sitting on the couch watching soaps when I could be scrapbooking, making cards or knitting.
I’m resolving to actually use on the cardmaking and scrapbooking stuff my husband spent so much money on is 2008.
I’m resolving to clean up my act and get organized so I can use my scrapbook room for its intended purpose.
Happy New Year!!
Emily you are too funny. LOL
This year I resolve to have a better year than last year. Trust me it won’t be that hard because I don’t have a house to sell, a BF to break up with, or need to buy a new car. So I plan to get some more storage, and a desk, and organize all my stuff, then order only what I need or just can’t live without.
Happy New Year to all!!
I don’t have a resolution but rather I am focusing on one word. That word for me is discipline. I am learning to discipline myself to stay focused, finish tasks and enjoy my wonderful life and all the wonderful people I have in it.
My New Year’s resolution are:
1) Oraganize my craft room
2) Start using more layers in my cards
3) Use the embellishments I think are so cute, but never quite get to using
Thanks for the funny stories Em. You always brighten my day!
My New Year’s resolution is the same as always: Balance. That means work less, play more, and breathe!
EM!
I was rolling on the floor because I downloaded those two games to my iPod Touch too! I love playing both of them!!
I resolve to laugh more with family and friends. After all, what’s more important?
MWAH and Happy New Year!
I love the cards!!!
My resolution is to lose weight too Em – I actually posted it on my blog on New Year’s Day! And to spend more time with family!
Thanks for the candy!
Angie
Scrapbook all the pics of my kids, that keep growing (darn them)
Enjoy every minute
Love all that I can
Hmm I want to start making smaller cards and buying more bellas again!
Cazx
My New Year’s Resolutions are:
1. To improve my relationship with my husband
2. To make a difference in someone life. Not sure how or what that will be or look like yet. But I’m working on it.
3. To teach my 3 boys to cook and clean! It can and will be done.
Of course I would also love to improve in my crafting:)
Happy New Year!!!
Jami
Okay, well, my goals this year revolve around relationships. With the Lord, my DH and my kids! I will focus on letting each of these precious people know what they mean to me.
And I also vow to get out birthday/occasion cards out on time this year!
I can do it!
I have many – I’m looking at them as goals though. Exercise is one – as is developing some daily routines. Thanks for the chance to win!
some goals on my list for 2009 – get back into a regular running routine, find a job after graduating from school this spring, start using my stash of ribbon etc., and find the things that make me happy 🙂
I resolve to stamp every day! It makes me happy, and brings peace to my life.
In 2009, I resolve to start living a healthier lifestyle and start creating more. Thanks for the chance to win!!
Hi Em!
My resolution for this year is to do something about my weight so that I can get it off my mind and be the best that I can be 🙂
Happy New Year!!
Anita
I resolve to keep on exercising (and diet).
My resolution is to enjoy life more.
To not take anything for granted.
I need to create more cards:)
Draw more stuff for you!!! 🙂
Love Nicky’s cards. I just blogged about a painting of No Fair Girl and, unbeknowst to me, I used almost the same colors as Nicky.
http://tiddlyinks.blogspot.com/2009/01/if-resolve.html
I guess that makes us both geniuses. LOL
MWAH to you both (and Jayden and Ella as our inspirations).
My resolution is to get into the ultrasound program this year that I missed by two points last year. I would also like to find a new job.
Happy New Year to All, My New Years resolution is to take more time for enoying the important things in life (My family & Creating) and to try and make a difference in someones life this year.
Happy New Years Everyone!!
My resolutions are to keep my scrap room clean (if it ever gets clean in the first place!), and go to the gym more regularly! Love the cards!
In 2009, I resolve to :
*Read my bible in a year (and diet)
*Read each night with my kids (and diet)
*Watch less TV and create more (and diet)
*Make every card I give (and diet)
*Be a better person all around (diet, and be less of a person! 😉
And of course, Buy more Bellas!!!
I resolve to try a new card making technique at least once a month–I’ve got to get out of this rut.
Cute, cute…sooo Bella Nicky!
Ops..forgot my resolution….I will learn to forgive more, it’s a huge step for me.
Love those cards! Looking forward to taking youngun’s to see Despereaux – they chose to see Bedtime Stories first!
my new year’s resolution is to follow thru with my new year’s resolutions.
My New Year’s Resolutions are to do something that I enjoy more often (my free time is usually spent cleaning), play with my kids more and have more conversations with them, and to try to find more time for my husband and I to do something together (we are always running around, working and being too busy) even if its just a little quiet time before we go to bed.
Happy New Year!!
I’m re-resolving to lose some weight! And exercise will, I suppose, be necessary (sigh). It’s not fair that stamping doesn’t burn more calories! I’m also resolving to be more positive and strengthen my faith.
Thanks for the chance to win some *candybella*!
Hmm my resolution is to actually mail out all the cards I make when I make them for that purpose today I started making a calendar which I will use to put everyone’s bday so I know who I have to mail a card to that month.. Well today was my DD’s 2nd bday at least I didn’t have to mail hers out so that is one I can cross out and a YEAHHH for me.. I think I deserve some Chocolate for that don’t you?? LOL…
Happy New Year for you and your beautifull Family, Em!! Happy 2009 for all friends!!!
My resolutions?!!! Hope live a happy day everyday! and I hope God blessing with a new baby!!! My little boy want a sister or brother… 😉
Thanks for all!
Big kisses and hugs,
Mayumi
My new years resolution is to get alittle more organized & declutter. Organize my stamping area & move it into the basement as long as my hubby finishes the basement this year. No more procrastination. Have a happier year than last year as it was such a bad year with everything. Spending more quality family time with the kids & also alone time with hubby. And truly loving life to the fullest. Staying positive with FIL’s cancer that just came back after 5 yrs.
We have certain traditions in my family and in my country for new years. One that is passed on to us from our Spanish heritage is eating 12 grapes at midnight.
One for each month and you make 12 wishes…
This are kind of like resolutions right?… kind of. 🙂
but i can share a few 😉
one was for my family to have health,
my mom has had cancer twice and she is only 37!!!
and another one was to work harder in my projects. 😀
A Happy New Year to you!!This year I plan to focus on the following things:
1. Getting closer to God
2. Getting more organized
3.Taking more pictures
4. Scrapping more
5. Staying on my budget

For me much more crafting and to use up the piles of my old stash that are gathering dust (or if I don’t use it then share it between my mil & the kids
Happy New Year
Sue
My resolution is to enter more challenges so I will be crafting more regularly, and also to use my stash of lovely buttons I received for my birthday.
My resolutions are to
1) Keep making cards
2) Work on my scrapbook
3) Stay healthy
4) Be a good person
I am loving Nicky’s cards and your resolutions. Mine are…
1. dont sweat the small stuff
2. Get organized and de-clutter
3. make more time to be creative
4. Keep up with my blog
5. save enough to take another cruise (maybe a stampin’ cruise…gonna do it again?)
6. give back
7. re-juvinate my spiritual side
8. loose some weight and get healthier
I usually don’t do New Year’s Resolutions because I don’t usually follow them very well. I lasted til March last year on one of the resolutions I am going to put down yet again. Here are some of my goals.
1) Lose some weight, but more just be happy with my body.
2) Find a nice guy
3) Move out of my parent’s house
4) Stay more organized
5) No more buying of paper (hopefully this will last longer than March this year)
I normally would not say no to paper, but that is why the resolution is a must, I have never say no to paper. I have way too much and my scrap holder is over flowing!
Love the adorable cards Nicky created!
I’m in the same boat as you, I’d like to loose weight but I only set a goal of 10lbs to start so that I won’t get discouraged and quit.
I’d also like to finish my youngest son’s first scrapbook.
Send more RAKs.
Set a schedule for crafting and house cleaning.
De-clutter our basement.
Get a piece of my work published.
Start setting up a date night with my husband.
Add more fun into my life!
Hi Em. Sounds like you had a great time. I spent New Year’s Eve day with my best friend Susan, gabbing & playing with some of our new “toys” & then the hubbies joined us for dinner. By the time we finished eating our huge pot roast with all the trimmings & TWO desserts, we just barely managed to roll away from the table. An hour later, we dug into candies, chocs, nuts and all that wonderful crap that is sooooo essential to life as we know it. However, the next day my poor bod was screaming, “why, oh why”? Anyway, my one New Year’s Resolution is this – don’t eat more garbage than you can handle. Which I will probably forget by this time next week.
I resolve to “DIET” also…….have already started….”Herbal Magic” is workin for me………..have tried everything to no avail……….have lost 10 lbs in 1 month……..ye haaaaaa!!!!! FEELS GREAT….gone down 1 size….ok other things …….. speakin of sistahs………mine are goin down……..how’s that for real sharin!!!!! te he he……..
So what else do I resolve to do:
1) Get my workspace in order…….. 🙂
2) Get my cards organized
3) Most definately get back into my scrapbookin….lots of pics to do
4) Spend more time on “ME”……………YA BABY!!!!!!
I think that’s enough for now.
Happy New Year to All…………..and may 2009 be better than ever@!
Hapy New Year EMily! I got an iphone for Christmas and have also been trying to figure out to download movies! No luck, but did get The Price is Right and Tetris. We took our kiddies to Deperaux on New Years day too. Sooo cute. My new year’s resolution I guess is to finally lose my baby weight. Started my diet on Friday – I’m up to my ears in veggies!!! Also, I want to run the NYC marathon in the fall (along with a little shoppin’). See ya this week I hope!
Oh yeah – I also LOOOOVE Nicky’s cards today! She’s da bomb!
I resolve to get a new job! This one is eating my brain!
My goal for 2009 is to purge the clutter in the basement so I can have a room of my own to create in and my boys can have a place where they actually want to go play. The plans have been made now the real work begins!
Hey, Em! Sounds like I need to take the boys to see a certain movie! Will do, and I’ll give you my review…
As for resolutions, well, my main one is to honor the promises I make to myself (which of course include exercising and losing weight… 😉 ) and to take them as seriously as the ones I make to others. I also want/need to get my craft room organized and keep it that way, and to systematize certain ‘problem areas’ (i.e. laundry!) Nothing too fancy, but if I can achieve these, I see huge quality-of-life benefits for both me and my family.
LOVE the new images and can’t wait to place an ordah soon! Happy New Year Hugs to you, my friend.
Mmmm You sound like me…. should diet but wont make that a resolution, cause I love food too much!! LOL
So will have to stick with…. save up money and finally place orders with overseas stamping shops, and …
maybe loose a little weight for an upcoming wedding which I have to squeeze my big natural boobs, arse and any others woobly bits into a strapless bridesmaid dress… miracles do happen you know LOL
my new years resolution is to get my clinical license for work before september!
No set resolutions, just a goal to make 2009 my year to let things shine in all areas of my life.
Em your posts make me laugh – I love them!!!! I love them and can sympathize big time, as you can guess, my resolution is to diet diet diet. Eat better, eat healthier, eat good stuff more often and crap less often! I would try for not at all but we all know that ain’t happenin’! And notice I didn’t put exercise – I already know dieting for me is easier than exercise, I know you’re supposed to do both but hey one is better than none, right? All the best to you, Ryan, the kidlets and the shop for the new year and good luck and willpower for that resolution we (and so many others) share!
I need to send out all the birthday cards I make for family on time this year. I make them, then they sit at my house for too long.
Resolution #1: quit thinking of “diet” as a 4-letter word! LOL My DH, DD, and I started Weight Watchers Nov. 1st. So I resolve to be patient with myself and keep moving forward without feeling unrivaled animosity towards my scale. LOL
Resolution #2: Inspire Em to adopt Resolution #1. LOL
Resolution #3: love the people in my life more than the things in my life. Don’t just say I love them, but SHOW them,
Resolution #4: Break the stereotype of a grandma~I want to be anything other than an old fuddy duddy! LOL
Happy New Year!
My New Year’s Resolution is to think before buying stamping supplies this year. I have so much that I can’t remember what I’ve bought!
i resolve to treat myself kinder. to stay fit. eat healthy and follow my heart and not my head.happy new year everyone
I resolve to scrap more of my daughter’s life (19 months) as I possibly can. I also want to spend as much time with her as life with her is precious and reminds me at how truly blessed I am.
Happy New Year! Here’s to a great 2009! The cards by Nicky are wonderful. My main resolution is to keep up with my blog better. I tend to get busy and this go by the wayside. 🙂
Hi I want to wish a very happy new year! My resolutions for this year: Play with my brand new Bella stamps that I just ordered and received. Make lots and lots of cards and other little things. 🙂
2009 is my year of healthy living – healthy diet, exercise, lots of laughs with my friends and family! Of course plenty of stamping with the Bellas!!!
I resolve to remember everyone’s birthdays, stamp more, scrapbook more and cook more complete meals without relying so much on the microwave!
Adorable cards! I can’t for my next order!!
My resolution is to finally get a blog up and running! Wish mme luck! =)
My word for the year is honesty. Honesty with those around me about how I feel and what I need. I know this sounds selfish to those who do not know my situation but my husband and I are full time caregivers of his mom. Honesty with my DH about our finances. Honesty with the Lord in all things.
I have also resolved to learn how to use my new Cuttlebug and use it to it’s full advantage.
Since every woman says “diet”, I’m not even gonna go with that. (its a given!) In 2009 I plan to ease up on myself more and accept things that I cannot change immediately. I plan to ease up on my husband some, too, and not put so much pressure on him to do everything the exact same way I do when it comes to taking care of our autistic twin 3 yr olds, the other 3 kids, and the house. I guess overall, I plan to CHILL OUT and LIVE LOVE and LAUGH more! =)
Em,
Happy New Year and good luck on the diet. My resolution (I only made one) is to be better to those that I love. It’s amazing how I can be so patient, and kind to a complete stranger, and than treat my family like they just crawled out of a dung pile, just becasue they can’t read my mind and know exactly what I want or need. I will be more patient, less crabby, and more loving to my family. After all if it wasn’t for them, I would be alone! I feel pretty good about the cards and the amount of stamping I did last year, and I balanced myself pretty well. So I need to maintain that and grow at the same pace. Eventually I will be able to make time for it all. So without further ado, I wish Em and all the Bella sistahs a wonderful New Year and I hope you all have much success in your resolutions. If you fall, just pick yourself up and start over and there is no shame it that. Remember Em, you can always start a diet halfway through a bag of chips, or M & M’s, or whatever you love the most and tend to overindulge in. MWAH to the sisters that try!
Hi Em! This year I’m resolving to get my home more organized-especially my scrap and stamp area! It seems I’ve done soooo much shopping…lol.
Great eye candy-and that movie looks so cute! I am hoping to take DD to see it.
My ’09 resolution is to lose weight & be healthy. I lost 25lbs in 8 wks just before the holidays and managed to keep it off thru the holidays. Now I want to get back into it with a passion again so I can get to my goal weight. I have about 60lbs to go. That is why I have been intent on getting Weightwatchabella and was so excited when I got her from a SS. 🙂 🙂 🙂
My resolution is to make time for myself and enjoy the liitle things in life.
i resolve to clean my area so i can stamp anytime i want (without cringing!)
Love those darling little embellishments. Lots of possibilities for creativity!! My new years resolution is to get healthier. I just had my yearly blood work done, and my cholesterol is 262. Yikes! Guess I’d better start exercising and eating better. Dang it!! Hehehe
my resolution to be healthier. make healthier foods for my family.
Happy New Year & what super duper cuties they are. My new years resolution is to craft more, read more, love my family even more & love life more. Plan time for all the “to do’s” so I can get more fun time.
Happy New Year Em! The main thing I would like to do is to get more organized ~ with 4 kids and 3 businesses, things get a little hectic. I would also like to get rid of the clutter around the house ~ this is a tough one, the kids have so many toys, and don’t really want to give up anything, meanwhile, our house has become Toys R Us.
I would also just like to make sure that I spend enough quality time with my kids ~ they grow up too quickly and I want to enjoy the times when they still want Mom around.
My New Year’s Resolutions:
1) get my husband back to Canada
2) lose weight
3) stamp more
4) Enjoy life.
