One Little Word: A Review and a Look Forward


just a few of the layouts I have completed this year.


I chose the word Endeavor for 2012. Trying new things sounded exciting and empowering. I took things much farther than I ever expected. When I originally chose my word, I was thinking about new scrapbook techniques. Thanks to my husband's support, I ended up applying for various design teams. I ended up creating for Scrapbook News and Review Magazine and Get It Scrapped. I learned more about myself, my creative process, and how far I can push my own limits. I have created my own sketches, polished my blog, and begun a newsletter.






Now it's time to choose a word for 2013. At first, I thought about choosing Metamorphosis. It's a gentle word and connotes graceful change. After a lot of thought, I have realized that I need something more radical. Something that will embody my journey ahead. My future holds a road that is full of excitement, adventure and quite possibly a few bumps. There are a lot of possible changes in my personal life, some of which involves self healing. It won't be easy but at the end of the year, I hope for some positive change. My word for 2013 is Revolution.

Here's to an awesome 2013 and BIG changes in the making.

Creative Jumpstart 2013


CJSLogo_500


I have a daily creative habit. Every day, even if only for 5-10 minutes, I strive to create something. I didn't always have a good creative habit. Some days, I confess, I do not get to create. I do my best though and I make the time. Being creative and scrapbooking are very important to me. It took time to develop my habit. It took practice to create small bits here and there in a short span of time. It took effort and takes a little effort on my part every day. It is worthwhile and I am better for it.




Last year, I participated in Creative Jumpstart. I had fun. I created a little every day and it set me on the path to my goal. My goal is to make time for me. Scrapbooking is  large part of that. If your goal is to be more creative, to be inspired, and to make time to create then check out Creative jumpstart 2013. It's beginning soon. I promise you, it's a lot of fun!
