A little Productivity
With all the cool weather we've been having down here, (which we are no longer used to) we've all gotten sick. Passing around and sharing a cold virus like every close family right?
Despite all that I have managed to make a few little 4x4 little scrapbooks for my etsy shop, I like to call them Mini Mini scrapbooks. They came out so cute! I challenged myself to use (mostly) stuff I had on hand. I say mostly because I found these adorable die cut felt coasters that were just begging to be made into little books and they were my inspiration. Then one thing led to another and I made a couple of books with painted corrugated covers too and voila...
These are so fun to make, I may add kits to the shop in the future. I would just have to make an instruction sheet to go along with all the bits and pieces.
so many plans so little time...

New Year New Word
At the beginning of each year I think about a word, a mantra, theme for the year. It's an idea inspired by Ali Edwards. In the past, words like Balance, Serenity, Simplicity have become a on going theme for me. All the abundance and choice of today's world has left me (and I'm sure a lot of people) a little overwhelmed and even somewhat unhappy. In our hectic world we are all searching for a little happiness and peace.
After seeing these TED talks
I though a lot about these ideas and realized that the pursuit of happiness and well being is not dependent on acquiring but on acceptance. Happiness as it turns out is not to be found, but synthesized.
So my word for this year is MAKE DO.
It's not only about finding happiness but about really thinking about the choices I make, about gratitude for everything good in my life, about finding creative solutions, about living in the moment, slowing down, about appreciating and accepting and in the end about creating a life of simplicity, serenity and balance.
