Welcome to 2014

I am still thinking about goals for this year and my One Little Word.  Although I have some ideas, I have not finalized my decisions. I am still praying about my Word for the Year. Last year my word was "Devoted" and I felt I grew a great deal by focusing on that word - especially spiritually.  God brought a friend back into my life who has been a HUGE blessing and mentor to me. Only by God's hand has this come about and has been part of the spiritual growth. I am so looking forward to 2014 now that she is back in my life.  Thank you, Lord!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year - Book of Days

I used a decoupaged napkin for the background, some stickers, paint and rubber stamps for this one.

Looking Ahead - 2013

Looking Ahead to Good Things in 2013

The beginning of a new year is always exciting - something about the freshness, the promise of a new start, throwing off the failures of the past and looking toward the future with hope. This year is no different for me. I haven't made any New Year's Resolutions in quite a few years, but this year, I decided to make a few!

Health Resolutions - Lose weight, exercise regularly and focus on myself more, so that I can accomplish these two things.

Art Resolutions - take one or two online courses, make art regularly,

Family and Faith resolutions - "Devotion" is my "one little word" for this year. I want to increase my devotion to God and to my family. I want to treasure each and every moment with them. This year promises to be a big year of change, and I don't want to squander even one opportunity to show devotion to each member of my family and to God.
