Happy New Year!

I'm so excited for this year! I feel really energetic and motivated. I bought a new blank journal and actually plan to do art in it instead of writing down shopping lists. Haha!

I booked three more classes. It's a local store near me. I have a good feeling for the other stores. I just have to call them.

My wonderful boyfriend gave me a digital camera for Christmas so there will be a return of card pictures soon.

I gave myself four different packs of twinkling H2Os so I'll play with those soon. I need to delve into my many packages of stamps though. I have new stuff from Claudia Rose, Sideshow Stamps, Savvy, Memory Box, The Cat's Pajamas and A Muse I need to play with! I'm trying to resist the big sales at Fontwerks, Rubber Baby and Ma Vinci but I don't know how that'll go.

Resolutions? Use the rubber I have! Hmm, this might be the time to figure out what I'm doing hoarding all those Above the Mark stamps. I love 'em but they're way too big for my purposes sometimes. And use up all the paper I have. Um, we'll see. The last paper I bought was the Christina Cole slab and I've been working steadily through it. But what about all the other things of patterned paper, wrapping paper, cardstock and patterned cardstock I'm hoarding? Not to mention all the art paper I bought at Paper Source and Hiromi? Aiya. Too much paper.

I finally broke down and bought the silent setter. Oh yeah, the older eyelets I have DO NOT work with it (like my Making Memories eyelets). But surprisingly, the SU eyelets I have do. Hmm, well, now I know I will finally use those funky triangular eyelets.

I had a week off and made about 15 cards in one day. I'm still a long way of finishing my portfolio though. I need more time to stamp. Oh dear, how am I going to do that when I have resolved to go to bed early, wake up early and generally get more sleep. Stamping in the middle of the night is the only time I have. Oh well, I'll sleep when I'm dead, right? :)
