Wednesday Sponsor Giveaway : MemoryWorks

Right now I'm figuring out how to balance my personal interests with the other important things in my life. Most important thing I've come to realize is that it is ok to put all of this scrapbooking stuff aside for the moment while I focus on music, photography, and writing. I was feeling guilty about all of the scrapbooking ideas and materials I had but was not utilizing. It's ok to let some passions rest up while others move to the front. I can put photographs, memorabilia, and details aside for assembly later.

A goal that I am working towards today and everyday lately is just being a better me. My husband after 8 years has decided divorce is his answer. So with my three girls and not having worked for the last 8 years, I have to start to learn how to just work on me, so I can be everything for my girls. So I have grown stronger in my faith and have realized for a long time, I have been trying to guide my own life and not let God drive. So lately, I have just let things go.
sorry for the venting..but thanks for a chance to win!

I find myself working toward finding my purpose and my style...both in scrapbooking and life. My scrapping allows me a way to look inside myself. The creative outlet is definitely a sanity saver when every day gets a little overwhelming :).

I have two goals that are at the forefront of almost everything right now. Needing less stuff is one, donating and getting rid of all the extra stuff that we don't need around the house as well as accumulating less and spending less, which brings me to my next goal. We are working on living a completely debt free life and only purchasing what is within our means at the time. We are close, and should be there by then end of summer.... then time to maintain!

I am trying to read all the Pulitzer Prize winners for fiction and the novel. I have read over half so far and am loving the project. Currently I am reading One of Ours by Willa Cather. She is an amazing author and her books are still as readable and interesting now as they were over 50 years ago.

I am working toward keeping up on grading papers. Last night I had to recruit 2 of my siblings to help me get caught up!!

My terrific husband packed up ALL my supplies, painted my office/scrapbook room and then put together my new shelves, etc. I am now working on sorting through all my stuff, deciding what will be given away, what will be kept and how it will be sorted. This has lead to two bigger goals 1) shop from my own stuff and 2) ideas for tons of new pages to complete that came from touching every supply I own(had to write them down there were so many). Thanks for a great blog even in the midst of a new baby.

I am working towards getting into better physical and mental health. I want to 'feel' better.
Happy Wednesday!

I am slowly but surely working toward being able to run a 5k. I have started training with podcasts and am halfway through. Wish me luck!

Hi Ali! My goal is to stay positive and focused...no matter what life brings me.

I am working toward a goal of eating more healthy with a life of less processed foods and consuming more natural and organically grown foods. It is amazing how what we eat affects how we feel. Happy Earth Day!

My goal is to be on a design team. I have been trying to work on blogging my projects. I have been spending more time in my craft room and have started submitting to calls.

Working on being healthier and more active!

I have a goal right now to not be stressed about having to find a new job in the next few months. My current job has a specific end date, and I am not looking forward to having to job search at this time. I am hopeful, as I have to be, so trying to maintain a positive attitude and hold on to faith that things will work out is definitely my main focus right now.
On a lighter note, however, I am trying to be more organized. I tend to hoarde and make piles, which drives my husband crazy, so I am working on not letting stuff pile up around the house, and keeping things clean.

My Goal is to help others when they are in need instead of always wanting to do for me.
life is to short and we need to be out there for others be it friends, family or even a stranger.
Don't forget to recycle, reuse, and RELAX.

My goal is to be myself again and have a clean house!

We are moving 800 miles from our home in October and I have a 15 year old son. He will be going into the 10th grade so my goal is to homeschool him until January and help him with the big change that will be taking place in our lives.

I'm working toward a healthier life. Such hard work (my legs are jello this morning after a bootcamp dvd!) but sooo worth it! Down almost 30 lbs.

My husband and I are working toward being debt-free. It is a hard battle but one that we, with God's help, will win!

I'm working on eating more bananas. It sounds simple but bananas are not my favorite fruit and I need more potassium. As my brother says, "Bananas turn potassium into potassi-yum."
