yes you can: A GIVEAWAY!

have you seen "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown?" or more importantly have you heard Kristin Chenoweth preform "My New Philosophy" {go watch it NOW}. I like philosophies, mottos, catch phrases what have you. I like them. I write them in my planner or on little sticky notes I put up on mirrors. I have weekly mottos, monthly mottos, minute mottos. I'm a list maker and note taker. Something about writing things down makes them more real to me. oh, and it has to be in pen (no digital/techy notes for me!) I need the satisfaction of physically crossing things off as I accomplish them. Is it no surprise that I LOVE the new year? I love a fresh start, a time to reflect on the ups and downs of the previous year, a time to make goals and pick new philosophies.

my motto for 2012?



It's simple, maybe even cheesy. But it's just the motto I need. Way too often I underestimate myself (and I don't think I'm alone). I (we) have lots to offer but fear and doubt somehow always get in the way. Well not this year! No, not 2012! This year I don't hesitate. This year, every idea is a good idea and every goal worth running wild for. I'm all kinds of excited for 2012! And I hope you are too! Which is why I wanted to share this GIVEAWAY with you:






It's a hand-bound notebook made by yours truly ;) It's part of a collection that I'll be selling in my shop (to be opened in 2012!!) It's cover is recycled card-stock and includes 30 blank pages, perfect for writing all your goals for 2012! And to top it off: an embroidered "YES YOU CAN" to remind you of just that, that you really can do and be anything you want. This is our year!!!

    How fun! I would love a journal!

    One of my goals for New Years is to spend less, make more. You know, spend less money, make food and school projects and decorations instead. Spend less time online, make more memories with face-to-face interactions. You get the picture :)
