Sponsor Giveaways : Studio Calico, Memory Works, Lisa Leonard, & Designer Digitals

My word is ACCOMPLISH. I have many projects and ideas, so many that I become overwhelmed with where to start and then nothing gets accomplished. My action has been studying my camera and how to use it. I have moved from auto to manual settings!! This makes me Happy :)

My goal is to be better at getting packages and cards in the mail in a timely manner! I also want to get back into shape and lose the baby weight (baby due in March) THIS year, and not wait two years like last time!

Hey Ali! I would adore a necklce from Lisa Leonard Designs :-) Or any of the other wonderful prizes! And either way I am totally heading over to Designed Digitals son to pick up the 365 overlays. I did a 365 in 2008 and have decided to do another this year to document my pregnancy and the arrival of our second baby in May. Happy New Year!

My word has to be STRENGTH. I wrapped up 2009 with a cancer diagnosis, and will now spend the better part of 2010 getting better. I am looking forward to facing it all head on, and remembering to keep doing the things that make me happy. . . like scrapbooking!

My word is BREATHE. I need to take some time out every day to just sit, breathe and reflect - stop the rushing and relax. Thanks for the chance. Happy new year!

my one word is rebuild. i read it on another blog by kal and i could relate so quickly and instantly. i have already started the rebuild process in a couple of ways, the first is getting ready to rebuild my house! the electrician is coming next week to rewire...
i have also finished working nights this past year and i intend to rebuild my sleep and eat patterns to accomodate my new life on the afternoon shift. this weekend i am going to bed earlier to read before sleep. i need to be more productive in the mornings!
great inspiration as always ali, and great giveaways!

I absolutley love this idea. My Word is CHANGE! This year is filled with change in varying degrees in our home. My two eldest babies are starting school this year which will be huge for them and I want to make lots of changes for myself too. Some to the way I do things, others to the way I think and feel and see my life in general. What an exciting way to start a New Year!

On Donald Miller's blog www.donmilleris.com he talks about telling stories instead of making resolutions - he says you need to want something, imagine a climactic scene, and then move... I have found myself talking about his book to anyone who will listen, it's amazing.
My word for 2010 is going to be MOTHER - I have four children and this year I am going to be the mother-of-the-bride to my oldest. And, I am even in this moment committing to finding my own mother who left when I was two. I have only seen her twice since then, and it's been 35 years since the last time. This is terrifying for me, not sure altogether why. But I have become convinced that in order to write one's story you need to know as much of it as you can. And, I don't know my story with my mother - and I certainly don't know her story.
My daughter already imagined a climactic scene for me - she wants me to find my mother and invite her to Anna's wedding. (my daughter is Anna)
Every year I have bought necklaces or bracelets with the OLW on it - I'd love to win the giveaway. I think Lisa Leonard's jewlery rocks!!

EMBARK is my 2010 word and it emplies movement or action. I am going to put my desires into action. I am going to DO rather than wish. Whatever crosses my mind such as Donna Downey's Inspired event. If I can get the time off work I am going!!! I am not content to read what a good time everyone had, I want to be a part of the good time. I will EMBARK, ms.cheryl

I plan to incorporate a weekly lunch meeting with my husband to make sure we are keeping our FOCUS on what is really important and the goals we have made are going to be realized. We also have written things down-that always seems to help goals come to fruition.

My word is 'bliss' - I want to make sure that I look for things that make me happy and remember them! Keeps you smiling when times are hard and makes sure that you appreciate the good times all the more.
Thank you for the Word of the Year Ali!

My word(s) are LET GO - let the small stuff go and enjoy life!!! Happy New YEAR!!! Thank you for the chance!

My word is Believe. I want to believe more in God's daily care and love. I also want to believe more in myself - that I do matter and achieve my dreams. I am starting my journey by reading my bible daily.

My word is ENJOY. I have four little boys, and the action i'm taking is to forget about the vacuum, the chores, the duties, and just play with and ENJOY my lovely little family. I am going to ENJOY my husband by doing things with him that he likes to do, and keeping the cable cancelled so that we talk with one another more.

Wowsers, Ali! You always have the most amazing giveaways! Thanks for the chance! I'm going to start the Martha Stewart 4 week Whole Body Action Plan on Monday! Excited and hopeful that it will help me feel better about myself!

My word is {Life} and a couple of actions towards capturing it include revamping my attitude and my attack towards capturing it & scrapping it. Another action is (hopefully) building a raised bed to restart our veggie garden....grow {life} and eat{life}. I am looking forward to incorporating my word throughout the year...thanks! :>

I will be considering my word this weekend. Lots of reflecting to do.......

My word for the year is Appreciate, all those special moments and little everyday things... appreciate your health, family, friends...

Great giveaways Ali! I actually ordered my necklace from Lisa a couple days ago - can't wait for it to arrive.
M 2010 word is: NURTURE.
You can read the back story on my blog.
Yesterday I spent focused time on each of my children and they LOVED it. It was wonderful to connect on a deeper level then just the day to day stuff.
Today, I will NURTURE my physical & emotional well being with a run.
See ya!

I have a few going on in my head and not sure which one I will make - the word - but they are POSITIVELY and SPIRITUAL.
Both are items I believe would make my life turn for the better.
I am currently watching myself being negative and looking for books on being optimistic. I am also looking towards non matarials for happiness and fulfillment as buying and buying and buying isn't getting me any happier after the buy part. ;)
