On:

Happy New Year to everyone!  One of my plans for the new year is to make time to scrapbook and craft.  I had the same idea last year but there were always other things that needed to be done.  This year I am going to set aside the time and other things will just have to wait.

I’m going to do three new things on my blog this year.  (1) I will post reviews on Close to My Heart products.  These posts will explain the products, give you ideas on how to use them, and examples as well.  (2) Each month I am going to name a Stash Buster product.  This is my personal challenge to use up as much of that product as I can for the month.  For the month of January I have two Stash Busters – Border Stickers and Metal Embellishments.  You can expect to see a lot of them in my projects!  I can’t remember the last time I used either of those.  (3) Stamp Sunday…my idea is to post a project every Sunday featuring a different stamp set.  Now I have to be totally honest and say that I’m not sure how long this will last or how well I will be able to keep up with it but I think it would be a great way for me to dig into my stamp stash and get some use out of them.

Here’s to you and to me and all of our ambitious goals for 2012!
