Sponsor Giveaways : Studio Calico, Memory Works, Lisa Leonard, & Designer Digitals
Three people will win the entire Home Front collection (papers, stickets, journaling cards, and FabRips) from Studio Calico.
The concept of Studio Calico began long before it was a reality. In 2000, while working at a local scrapbook store, April developed an appreciation for innovative supplies along with a respect for preserving memories. Thus, the concept of combining fresh products with non-traditional scrapbook supplies emerged.
At Studio Calico, we hope to encourage the creative process by providing the best supplies on the market as well as a community that is supportive every step of the way.
In the past 2 years we've grown from an idea, to a small boutique of sorts, to manufacturing our own products. As we've grown, we've stayed true to the basics, while looking to the future.
Three people will receive the lovely Word Of The Year necklace from Lisa Leonard Designs.
In addition Lisa is offering a discount for readers. Enter "myword15" for 15% off your purchase.
Here's a bit about Lisa and her business:

One person will receive the Life Documented kit from the new Simple Stories collection by MemoryWorks.
Your photos and memories are far too important to keep in a box, store on a computer or bury in a pile. We know life is busy and at times it feels nearly impossible to keep up with all of life's demands - yet alone find time for the things you enjoy like your scrapbook hobby and preserving your memories.
If you're overwhelmed with too many photos...
If you're feeling guilty for not being "caught up"...
If you're overloaded with creative pressure and unrealistic expectations...
If you're stressed because you don't have enough time to scrapbook...
If you don't know where to start...or worried if you can even keep up...
If you're frustrated with the process of traditional scrapbooking...
If you're looking for a better way...
Then you will love our simple and refreshing approach to scrapbooking!
MemoryWorks is beyond thrilled to introduce the new, exclusive Simple Stories scrapbook system. You can view our video here. Our innovative system was designed for scrapbookers of all levels who want to share their life stories and memories in a simple, yet meaningful, way - but without the time, guilt or stress of traditional scrapbooking.
Life Documented, the first collection in our Simple Stories series, is all about documenting a year in your life like never before. Our Life Documented kit allows you to share your story in a whole new way, while getting back to the basics of what scrapbooking is all about...your photos and memories. We've done all the work for you with our exclusive Simple Stories system - with beautiful pre-designed elements that you simply trim, add your journaling and then insert into pockets - along with your 4x6 photos - for quick and easy scrapbooking. No cropping. No adhesive. No stress. It's as easy as that - sharing your photos and memories has never been easier!
In addition to the giveaway here, we're giving away a FREE Simple Stories Life Documented kit, with coordinating divided page protectors and embellishments, a retail value well over $35. Visit www.mysimplestories.com for more details.
Three people will receive my new 365 Photo Overlay kit from Designer Digitals.
This digital package includes 365 overlays, one for each day of the year. Designed to fit right on top of a 4x6 photo, these overlays also work really well as journal cards. Perfect for a 365 or week in the life project. In addition, all brushes and overlays on are sale this weekend at Designer Digitals (through Tuesday morning at 6am Eastern).
To be entered into this weekend's giveaways please leave a comment below letting me know one action you are taking in relation to your word of the year or your own personal resolution/tradition. Comments will be closed on Sunday evening at 8pm Pacific with the winners posted shortly after.
Happy New Year!

I love the idea of letting a word "choose me", and I am leaning toward the word SIMPLICITY! My life word is JOY...looking for the joy in every day living. Simplicity because I want to live a little more simply. Enjoy the many, many blessings in life! Joyfully!

More fabulous giveaways. I already left my word on a previous post, but will leave it here again. Intention. I almost have a little project completed to help me document my progress.

I've downloaded a worksheet on choosing a word of the year and will complete the tasks. However, I'm leaning toward "discover" since I'm planning several trips this year.

I am undecided between 3 words right now. But, whatever I choose, I know this year will be new and different and I want to live it that way. Thanks for the great giveaways Ali!

I think my word for the year will be DOCUMENT. I have other goals I'm focusing on day-to-day, but the overarching creative force I'm following is to document our life, our experiences. I purchased the Log Your Memory 2010 weekly challenge book as a way to jumpstart that process and to keep me on track.
My best to you all in 2010!

My word of the year is "balance", and to that end, I plan to include more exercise in my schedule.

I see I'm not the only one, but my word is JOY. Although I'm living a busy life with a fulltime job and studying for my masters degree at the same time, I want to enjoy the joyful time, the joyful moments and the wonderful people that surround me all the time!
Thank you so much for the chance to win!

My word is "relax". I always sweat the small stuff and I don't want to do that this year. My goal is to take a deep breath each time I'm starting to feel the stress and just walk away from it. We'll see how that helps.

My word is CREATE. I have decided to use my creativity to help me be more frugal in the coming year. I will make gifts and cards. I will find creative ways to entertain my children therefore teaching them to expand their own creativity. I know this is going to be a great year!

Happy New Year! My word is "Take Control" of my health, finances and time. I know it's two words, but it best describes what I want to accomplish this year.
Thanks!

My word for the year will be "Patient".... I will endeavor to be much more patient with My Girls, My Family, My Ambitions, My Work... I need to constantly remember that everything takes their own time, and not jump to conclusions too quickly.

My word for this year is PROGRESS ... I am using it to remind myself that it is about progress not perfection .... that its ok to get only 2 out of 3 things on your list done .... that I am not a total failure if I only get 2 out of 3 loads of laundry done... just trying not to beat myself up for being an imperfect person this year ....
