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.

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).

The word "fulfill" is speaking to me. Fulfilling so many dreams and promises... starting a family, new position at work, weight loss, travel, less control and more flexibility. 2010 will be a year of fulfillment.

I still need to determine my word. I did this the first time last year and chose "simplify"...for the first time in years I actually accomplished my goal and did simplify a number of areas in my life.

My word this year is ENJOY. I am going to take the time to enjoy my family, friends, surroundings and just enjoy my life in general. I can't think of anything more important than slowing down and enjoying life before it passes me by!

My word for 2010 is GROW.
I want to pursue my dream of studying art and art history. I don't know if going back to school full-time is in my future, but I've started researching both local classes AND distance programs. If I can't go back to school right now, I CAN take some drawing and painting classes at the local art center and through the school district's "adult education" program. I am determined to get going, even if it means tiny steps for now. I just want to get on the path, moving in the right direction. I am very very excited about this :)

I think that my word for the year is Dream and I am going to have it made in to a vinyl and posted somewhere that I will see it every day so that I can strive to make my life the one I want it to be.

My word is SUSTAIN and I plan to plant a large garden this year to help my family sustain its eating habits, and to reduce the amount of fossil fuel it takes to put food on our table. I also want to grow enough to preserve and to share with friends.

My word this year is Play.....I own my own business and my hubby and I have spent the last 3 years working our butts off, and have sacrificed alot of our sanity, time with the kids, and personal time. This year we are finally hiring people to help us out and my word is a reminder to take time for my kids more, and for myself. Looking forward to it, it going to be a great year!

My word is "truth". To see the truth of what and who I am. To let that truth guide me in the choices I make for myself and my family.

My word is SCRIBBLE. To celebrate my word, I'm hand binding a small journal with blank pages to scribble story ideas and thoughts in. My own colors. My own textures. My own cool paper. Next? I'm buying a really cool pen.

My word is Prioritize. I am facing the fact that my actions do not always match what I profess, and that some of my decisions are based on what I "think" is expected of me. I need to prioritize, and order my day accordingly! I am taking the first step by acknowledging what I really want.

I chose EMBRACE as my word and I want to embrace having less stuff cluttering up my home. The laundry room is my first target - and the 3 piles approach is started. 15 minutes a day or 1 week to declutter each area will be my start.
What beautiful giveaways to start the year! Thank you for sharing :)
