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!

Thanks!

Like Anna before me, my word is 'move', moving forwards with several major projects I have on the go, moving physically to keep myself in shape and moving towards my goals for the next few years. The actions I'm taking: weekly and monthly lists of goals to reach and an exercise schedule I plan to stick to. Thanks for the link to the action worksheet the other day - it really helped define many things in my mind to be able to come up with workable action points.

Haven't really chosen a word...but i need to put myself first, I will focus on ME...sounds selfish, I know. I've been putting others before me for so long, I don't know what I need or want anymore. So I plan on focusing on ME.:)

I just wanted to say that I finished my "25 Days Until Christmas" book, and I am just SO GLAD that I've created it for the 2nd year in a row. It's a huge sense of accomplishment for me, and it makes me happy that I'm able to work on it JOYFULLY during a very hectic time of the year! It truly made me happy to do something with it every single day! So, thank you for the inspiration!!
I haven't nailed down my word yet. I want it to take into account all of the things that I want to do this year . . . I want to be healthier, I want to purge unnecessary items in my home and simplify our lives, and I want to use what I have when it comes to creating!! I also want to be the best wife and mother that I can be. So . . . I'm still working on that one word that will state my intentions for 2010!!
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! My word for 2010 is commit. This year, I will commit to observing everyday life and putting it in my 2010 scrapbook. Thanks for being such an inspiration to me, Ali.

My word for the year is...BALANCE. I tend to be an extremist and find myself doing too much focusing on a particular thing and then leaving other needed things undone. So, my word is balance.
Thanks for your inspiration. Love your work.

My word is HEALTH. For lots of reasons. My action was reviving my blog so I can keep track of some of the things that are important to me and that will help me get to HEALTH.

I am still contemplating my word for the year, but I do know it will be something to remind me that I need to treasure each day. To remember that my kids will only be this age once and that time is fleeting and to enjoy life every day.

My word this year is "Purge". I feel this is the year that I will get rid of all the stuff in my life that is either in my way of accomplishing what I want, or just simply holding me back for whatever reason. Purging will be both physical and emotional.

My word is downsize, so every day, I'm going to work on me or my things. One day I'll make a bag to donate, the next, I'm doing Pilates. I'll make my way to my goal slowly, but steadily.

My word is Awareness. Aware of how I spend, how I eat, what I bring in to my home, Aware of how I interact with others, so many things in life to be aware of. Took my debit card out of my wallet so that I can be aware of what I spend as it is being spent.

My word is RELAX -- but I don't know if I'm going to live up to it. So far these last few days of Christmas break with a teacher husband and a second grader are making me crazy!

My word is to Relax! I'm always taking care of everyone but me so I'd like to take more time to relax and scrapbook and do a few of the things I love to do even if it means letting a little of the housework go to do it.
