Happy New Year & Scratch n’ Win

Good afternoon,

I'm sorry but I don't have a project to show you today.  Dave & Chase decided to come home early from the lake and messed up my plans…now I'm major behind. 

So, let's have some fun!  What are your New Years Resolutions?  Here's mine:

Personal:  1. Lose weight & exercise! 2. Find a charity I can work with this year (both of those were on lasts years list but I'm really going to try harder).

Business:  1. Get more organized! I'm super organized in some areas and others not…will work on balancing that out (started out great so far…cleaned two closets last week…9 bags of trash and a dining room full of stuff for Goodwill). 2.  Improve my blog photos(If I told you how many hours I've worked on this area you wouldn't believe it….I can not for the life of me find help in this area..maybe it's because I'm a visual learner and I can't find step by step instructions on how to do it.  I'm even willing to pay someone to help me accomplish this. I have a really nice camera…Canon Rebel XTI….PSE 5 software…a Light box and yet my pictures still look dull or should I say not vibrant?) 3. Help my Team grow their business (I just started a Focus on Success Group to help them and I'm super excited about it).

Now for the fun part…share your New Years Resolutions or Goals with us….and I'll draw a number for a free Tart & Tangy card kit……and…… the 2nd Tart & Tangy kit is going to the first person that joins my Team in 2009& becomes a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator 🙂

Fine details:  Number will be drawn by random generator Friday at 10pm (central time).  Kit will ship after Jan. 15th (I'll be at Leadership next week).

Here's the details & a picture of the kit you'll be getting.Tart & Tangy card kit 

 

Tart & Tangy Card Kit includes:  Supplies to complete 12 cards with envelopes.(Stamped images are not provided.  Medium white envelopes are included.)

Happy New Year!

  1. Angie, You have such a wonderful blog! Love it! Check it out everyday as a matter of fact! My biggest resolution right now is to stop worrying so much about things I have no control over. I don’t want to get into details but I have given myself a messed up stomach, anxiety issues, and new wrinkles over excessiv worry this year, and its time to slow it down. Maybe getting some more scrapbooking in will help! lol =) Happy New Year! Keep up the great work! Tammy

  2. Happy New Year!

    What a really cute card set! Now you sealed the deal for me–I need to get this stamp set!

    My new year’s resolution: Only 1 (any more and I won’t keep them)–make more homemade gifts for my family and loved ones. Gifts, cards, personal items tailored to the receiptant. That’s my goal this year.

  3. My Resolution for 2009 is to “Use what I have” I have good intentions – when buying and then forget and just buy more… I plan to Use the supplies I have and give away my projects… hopefully inspiring someone else. Happy New Year!

  4. Happy New Year and I love your blog. It is the first thing that I check every morning. You mentioned my two New Years Resolutions. The first is to lose weight and to get my craft room more organized. I work on the latter one all the time, but I can never find things. I’m always looking for ideas from others on how they store things.

    Have a wonderful New Year.

  5. My New Year’s resolution is to work harder at actually making a business out of both Stampin’ Up! and my card making rather than being a hobby demonstrator. Secondly, my resolution is to walk my dog more!! My boyfriend does about 70% of the walks and I’d really like to make it at least 50/50.
    Happy New Year!

  6. My resolutions include eating healthier, getting organized, and exercising more. The biggie is enjoying the projects that I have started and finishing them. I never seem to have time to stamp or craft. I just need to give myself time. Happy New Year!

  9. I’ve notifited my e-mail buddies that I won’t be sending on or acknowledging chain e-mails, “about us” questionnaires, send-this-on-and-a-miracle-will-happen-at-4:32 p.m.-tomorrow, fill-in your name, etc., etc, messages. It takes away from my time to read blogs!(and they’re a nuisance disguised, I’m guessing, to gather e-mail addresses for junksters). So far, so good — ha!

  11. 1) I too would really like to loose weight but more important exercise -be healthy ’cause I have a lot of stamping goals to reach.
    2) I would also like to turn my hobby into a busines. What would be greater than finding something you love to do and then figure out how to make a money at it; is this called work!?

  14. My resolutions are very similar to yours. I would like to lose weight (daughter getting married in May and would like to look nice for that!) and get more organized! I have alot of “stuff” that I need to go thru and give to someone else (Goodwill). Thank you for a chance to win this set! I have loved seeing all of the things you have made with this. I am really thinking about “signing up” as a demo. will there be any incentives in the future (like the $99 sign up)

  16. Happy New Year Angie! That’s an amazing list – wow….all I want to do is 1)Get more sleep (I go on 3-4 hrs a night and will try to get 4-5 hrs in 2009) AND 2)Continue to support my favorite charity with our found money (we pick up all the change on the streets that people walk over and put EVERYTHING in a box and then give that money to our favorite charity at the end of the year!). Think I’ve set some Do-Able resolutions this year. Happy New Year! Kadie

  21. My New Years Resolutions are as follows: do one RAK (randon act of kindness) a week to a total stranger. Once a week learn something new spiritually (through devotion, Bible, etc.)Once a month, deep clean one room in my house (dust the blinds, clean ceiling fan blades, rotate matress, etc.) Last year I did one RAK a month and absolutey loved it, except for October. The person in the drive through line behind at Wataburger, I tried to buy her breakfast after I cut her off. She tried to chase me down a few blocks later and got pulled over for speeding. Yikes!

  22. Well I have just spent the afternoon putting away Christmas stuff and realizing how cluttery I have become(actually it is not a surprise). So Organization is my resolution. Maybe if I see it in print I will have some guilt and actually follow through!

  23. Hello Angie!

    Love that card set(and I have that stamp set too)! 🙂

    My New Year’s resolutions: 1) lose weight-it is so sad when I weigh more now than I did when I was 9 months preg! Plus, I have my 20 year reunion coming up! 2) Organize and use-the stuff that I have! 3) only buy from the monthly club-stay away from all craft stores!! 4) Be intentional in paying off debt.

    Good Luck to all!

  24. Goals are always so hard to keep but will attempt to have more patience & understanding. Will try to make more time for myself as I always put others first. And must stamp more…

  25. Hi Angie
    Just discovered your blog, recommended by several of my SU team. My New Years resolutions are to be more organised and less stressed, hopefully one will come as a result of the other!! I need to have a major declutter of the house and find some new storage for my craft stash, as it has increased of late due to signing up to SU and there is SOOO MUCH more stuff I need! LOL
    Happy New Year

  26. Happy New Year! My goals in 2009 are to put me first and make it a priority to exercise. I got a Wii Fit and that will hopefully help me to get going! Work on my craft show items all year long and get my classes back up and going on a more regular schedule.

  29. Happy 2009! As always top on my list, like many others is to lose weight! I am hoping the Wii Fit will help with that! I am also making a NYR to get caught up on my DD’s soccer and basketball album. I’ve let that go way too long!

  30. Happy New Year or as we say in Sweden Gott Nytt År.
    I love your blog and have a “subscription” of it on Bloglovin.com to make sure I don’t miss anything. My only regret is that your products are not available here as far as I know. But I still enjoy your work and I’m able to use a lot of your tips anyways.

    I made a NewYearsResolution many years ago that I’ve kept: not to give any again! I’ve got ambitions though (I feel bad when I can’t keep a promise, that’s why I stick with ambitions):
    -get more organized, both personally and at work
    -get back to exercising on a regular basis
    -actually create things with all the stuff I buy

  31. Mine this year is too enjoy the little things in life and to put pictures on the pages that I make and to send the cards that I make too! I look at your blog daily and appreciate that you update it regularly. You are very inspirational! Happy New Year!

  32. My New Years resolution is very simple but very important. I want to spend more time studying the bible and praying with my family. I SAY that I am going to start, but do not keep a steady schedule of doing so. Homeschooling and all the chores get in the way. I want to make time every day to spend with my kids and husband and sharing the love of Christ.

    Thank you for all the time you devote to your blog and sharing such amazing tips and creations with us. You are such an inspiration!

  39. I just love your blog and projects! If I wasn’t a demonstrator already I would sign up under you. I don’t even know if the girl I signed up under is still a demo!

    One of my many goals this year is to be prepared for the next Christmas with all of my homemade gifts and not be making them at the last minute. I am making gifts every month and even Christmas cards too every month. I’ve already got a start on January’s stuff and made some Snowman soup (thanks to your tutorial). Now all I have to do is add the cocoa and marshmallows in Dec and I’ll be ready!

  45. My #1 resolution is to think before I speak to my husband. I think after 24 years of marriage I don’t have a filter when it comes to talking to him and I sometimes snap quickly at him without meaning to. You find your always watching what you say to others and your harder on the ones you love. And there are other resolutions but thats my #1 goal. Btw, you have a wonderful blog !! thanks for sharing with us.

    Here are my resolutions for this year – I don’t usually make them, but this year they are a definite need to!
    1) lose weight – Dr is really on my case;
    2) pull out my “Bootcamp” notebook from last fall and truly get things up and running – I want more than a hobby;
    3)Get my blog functional so that I can reach more people.
    Good luck with your resolutions – hope I win 🙂

    My resolution is to meet up with about 4 couples that are friends but somehow we never seem to take time to spend with each other. So I am going to call each to set up a time to come over or go somewhere together. in fact, I have already started out the year right. My husband and I are going to dinner with one couple Friday.

My resolutions are the same has the last 30 years which also seem to match everyone else’s on this comment section. However, I will try to live healthier, spend more time in prayer listening to God instead of asking Him for things and would like to spend some time at The Ark, a shelter for homeless dogs and cats. I would also like to complete several undone projects at home that keep waiting patiently and gathering dust! Keep up your awesome blog!!

  59. Hello Angie, Wishes for a Healthy and Safe New Year to you and your family! As for the resolutions, hmmm, I have many. #1 on my to do list is to try to quit smoking. You would think this would be easy for me, as my brother of 52 yrs. old is dying of throat cancer. But for any smokers out there, it is not an easy thing to quit. Second on my list is to stop stressing so much and start enjoyng the little things.
    Thanx for the chance at some sweet candy.

  65. Hi Angie,
    My New Years Resolution is to get serious about making better choices regarding my health. I lost 30 pounds last year & started exercising 3-4 times per week. The past month though I have allowed myself to get tempted by sweets & now have a taste of the “bad stuff”!! I don’t want to undo all my hard work from last year. My other resolution is to spend less money. Remind me of this one AFTER I place my first order from the new SU catalog!!!

  66. My first goal is to lose weight and get healthy this year. My second one is to start using the stamping supplies that I have on hand. I’m really bad about hoarding things, and I’ve got to let them go.

  67. My goals are pretty much the same every year…
    Weight, personal growth, organization, etc…
    But, now that I’m a demo I need to add that to the list. I’m going to try and push myself a little harder at getting people interested in SU!
    Going to be hard, I’m not much of a salesperson, but I do love crafting of all kinds and I need to support my habit somehow…LOL

  72. Okay, my resolution is–let me think, it is to get more organized-yes, that would be it. I realy need to get more organized. I have my stamping card stock, dsp, punches,etc, all over my house. It is never in one place, probably because I`m not. Seriously, I`m going to have it all together, easier to get together for classes.

    Like the majority of people, I’d like to start eating healthier and lose weight so I can keep up with my grandkids! I also want to start going through my “treasures” here in the house and start sorting out and donating so my kids don’t need to call in a dumpster and pitch some day – let someone get use out of it now while it’s still usable!

  86. Happy New year! Well my resolution is not to lose weight. I am pregnant with baby # 4 (a surprise) and I don’t think the dr’s want me to lose weight. My resolution is to get more customers and stamp more and get a blog and start posting. Thanks for the chance to win.

  90. Hi Angie,
    Thanks for all of the hard work you put into making your blog amazing! JMHO, but I’ve never thought your pics were dull or not vibrant. I know sometimes we are our hardest critique though, as I am the same way. I really appreciate your tutorials especially. I’ve told you before that my girls and I love making your projects right along with you, and to them, you are a star 🙂 You are truly an amazing lady, and I appreciate and admire your talent. Thanks for being so willing to share it!

    For my top 5 resolutions/goals: (No particular order)
    1. The perpetual…exercise, eat healthy, lose weight (wait, that’s 3 isn’t it?)
    2. Make 10 Christmas cards a month to ease my autumn schedule (I home-school 2 teens and 1 4th grader).
    3. Increase my relationship with the Lord (more time in Bible reading, prayer, ministries).
    4. Start scrapbooking (Am I the only one that does not already do this?)
    5. Write more love notes to my wonderful hubby (16+ years).

    Thanks for offering blog candy, Angie. I have my fingers and toes crossed. ;c)

  94. My New Year’s resolution is to find a space for all of my stamping stuff. It’s a pain to pull out boxes every time I want to do a project. I also resolve to work less once I get home from work. I’m going to try really hard to relax more once I get home from work.

  95. I love your blog. It’s always the first thing I check on a daily basis. My goals for the new year I have to say is to loose weight and exercise more. My husband had a heart attack in June. Since that time we have been eating healthier and trying to loose the weight. His weight came off just great mine is slow in coming off. Must be a woman thing. 2nd goal is to try and slow down and enjoy life. Like they say stop and smell the roses along the way. Hope to be able to do this.

    Wishing every one a healthy and Happy New Year with peace in the world.

  101. Happy New Year to you and your loved ones and may 2009 bring you many blessings. My resolutions are to lose weight, make my craft area more appealing and keep it organized so that I can find things, and work on my children’s scrapbooks. Last year all I did was stamping and neglected the scrapbooking. Will have to do better this year b/c I am hopelessly behind.

  102. My New Year’s resoultion is to try and not stress over the little things. I tend to make a mountain out of a mole hill–I need to let things slide more.

  103. Angie thanks for the chance to win.
    Isn’t it wonderful that every new year we get a fresh start on life? I like that it gives us time to get rid of what we don’t want, keep what we do and make some changes as well. I also am going to start back to a healthful life style. In addition I will do at least one stamping challenge a day which will help me with my goal of posting every day on my blog. I hope that this new year brings you health, happiness and peace.

  106. My resolution is to downsize: both body weight and supplies (stamping,sewing,craft). If I dust off my exerciser and use it as well as finish handmade projects that I’ve started; I’ll be doing good. I also need to get/stay more organized. Keep up the great blog!

  109. My goal for 2009 is to learn to take better care of myself – health would of course be included, but I mean the intangibles of learning to be good to myself, not trying to please everyone all the time, taking some time for me and not demanding so much of myself.

    Happy new year!

    I love your website and Blog and I look at it each morning before heading off to work. I have a few resolutions for the new year to include adding more exercise to my day, loosing some weight, working on my Stampin’ Up business and getting my blog set up and running. Along with making a lot more cards for classes, clubs and scheduling workshops. Thanks for all of your inspiration of what we can do if we apply ourselves. Have a great week.

  114. I am not very good at New Year’s Resolutions. So my goal this year is to be consistent. Consistent in all areas: parenting, housekeeping, crafting, work, physical health and relationships! It’s a big goal, but if I just work consistently, constantly at it, I should see improvement!

  115. Well one of my NYR is same as the last few years, LOSE WEIGHT. The next one is to get more organized with my stamping stuff,, I have a very good friend that was sent to me by God, I truly believe that, she has been helping me so I started before thanksgiving then started on christmas cards. So now it’s time to get back on the organization trail..

  116. Happy New Year! My resolution is to use what I buy! I have so many things that I buy and put away and forget about. I also want to be more organized too. Have a great year!

  117. My goal this year is figure out how to spend more time with my family, doing the things we love without spending too much money. I’d also like to reduce the stress level in our house…with four active kids going every which way and a husband that travels, that’s easier said than done!

  118. Angie, I don’t even know where to start with the resolutions! I guess my usual is to be less fat and more fit, but the older I get the more I think it’s about doing more for me, actually making me a priority, rather than just caretaking everyone else in my life. More organizational skills are also something I need to work on, maybe time management is a better way to put that. Really love your website, by the way…

  119. My New Year’s Resolution – like everyone else’s is to pay more attention to the amount of food that I eat and the amount of exercise that I do. Started today with a 15 mile bike ride – it was great!

  120. Hi Angie!
    Love the resolutions. Mine are to get in shape and be more organized when it comes to my business too! I work best at the last minute, but then I end up staying up all night and being tired.

    So this year WILL BE DIFFERENT!! hehe

    Thanks for sharing!

  122. I just found you on UTube. Love your video’s.
    I too am going to put forth the effort to loose weight this year. For health reasons I need to do something about the extra pounds I am caring around. Another thing I need to do is get organized in my craft room.
    I signed up for your newsletter so hope to hear from you soon.
    Thanks for all your hard work,

    Denise

  126. Angie – I love your blog and visit almost daily for inspiration. My goals for the new year are to spend more time with my kids and hubby, procrastinate less and make better use of my time, exercise more, and do more stamping for me for fun instead of just for my business (in put-out-fire mode). WHEW! Happy New Year to you & thanks for the chance to win the awesome kit!!! Angie

  127. I just found your blog today and it is spectacular! Thanks for sharing your talents! My resolutions this year: 1. Not to go on “a diet”. I just want to make healthy living a part of our everyday life. 2. To not procrastinate when it comes to my SU! business. I am always doing most of my prep work for clubs, workshops, etc.. at the last minute. I am ahead on this one already! I have spent most of the afternoon looking for ideas for Jan. clubs! That’s how I found you! Thanks again and Happy New Year!

  128. Sorry I missed this fun contest 🙂 I also use PSE5 and though I have a lot to learn I do a lot of photo editing (I’m working on learning enough to be a professional photographer). Anyway, I would be happy to try to tweak one of your photos if you would like, and if it turned out the way you want then I could try to explain how to do it. Just thought I’d offer because I know how frustrating it is to not have your photos turn out the way you want! my email is marcie dot jessee at gmail.com
