Happy New Year!

I hope everyone is having a happy and productive new year.  My family headed out west for a fun ski trip after a great Christmas. The boys went to school as soon as we got home, and I started everyone on their New Years resolutions (that I had made for them)!  So far the boys have been to bed earlier, but are not doing a great job of getting up earlier.  David spent all day organizing his home office.  My goal for this house is to have all of his electronic things together so when we want to watch one of our videos we can- without two hours of searching for a connecting wire, then a trip to Radio Shack to buy the piece we cannot find.  I finally got the new hall closet organized -and labeled! 

I hope you are thinking about how you will make this year a better year, and if you need some help, let me suggest some things...
  1. Stamp more.  Stampin'Up!s mini catalog has tons of new stamps and supplies to get you stared.  Go here to see the mini catalog:http://204.228.150.61/catalogs/flash/en-US/2012_OccasionsMini_iwer/index.html
  2. Send more notes.  Do you know anyone who doesn't love to get a note from a friend?  Surprise someone who gave you a gift with a thank you note.  These are simple and quick to make, and can easily be adapted to fit stamps you already have.
  3. Shop more.  January 24th starts Sale-a-bration.  You can earn free SU merchandise with each $50.00 purchase.  It is a great time to stock up on necessities like paper and ink and earn free beautiful stamp sets!  See the catalog here: http://www.stampinup.com/us/documents/20120124_SAB_en-US.pdf
Let me know if you need any help getting these resolutions started.  I hope to have a workshop soon- stay tuned for details.
Dawn
