What better way to kick off the new year than with a calendar giveaway?! Exactly, there really isn’t one. At least here in Blogland. The instant I saw Becca Heuer’s seasonal letterpress calendar I smiled. Big. I love her concept of splitting it into seasons instead of months and the letterpress is breathtaking. And just to say Hi, hello, I hope you have a lovely year, Becca is gifting one of you luckies with a brand spankin’ new calendar to start your year off right!
Just leave a comment with your email address. (Don’t worry, I won’t be selling or storing them. It’s only to let you know if you win!) You have until 12pm CST tomorrow, January 5th. The winner will be chosen randomly and notified shortly after. Thanks, Becca!
I cut out New Year’s resolutions a few years ago after making too many unfulfilled promises to myself and feeling bad about it. I’m not knocking them if you’re a fan, I’m just no good with such a big weight on my shoulders. (I’ll lose 50 lbs. I’ll . I’ll single-handedly be responsible for world peace.)
I’m more of a believer that instead of resolving to do something, we should try to make smaller life decisions that are part of our day to day existences. I plan on trying to drink more water, keeping in closer touch with friends and family and starting to landscape around my house. Easy enough because I know they’re all possible without too much trouble. What are your goals for 2010?
And because I’ve been out of the loop for the past few weeks, some of my favorite posts that have graced my reader recently:
+ DIY Origami Box Ornaments with a great step-by-step tutorial :: Creature Comforts
+ Super cute free holiday tags, perfect for a homemade goodie gift! :: Creature Comforts
Wow, did you all ever love this scarf! (Me, too.) My favorite animal? I have to go with the otter, but that’s just for today. *wink* Congratulations to Ariel on the sweet win and a big thank you to Xenotees for sponsoring this hit of a giveaway! {Thanks for your patience in waiting for me to announce the winner!}
So, so sorry for leaving the blogosphere unannounced!
I came down with a mad case of the flu Monday, the 14th. I left work at 2pm and was out sick the entire week. It was a mess of high fevers, hour after hour of sleep, and lots of medication as well as a few doctor visits.
Monday, the 21st I flew home to Pennsylvania for Christmas and have been here ever since.
Several readers have asked what’s up so this is just a tiny apologetic update post. Oh yeah, and my MacBook took a gigantic crap and the display went out. I fly back to Oklahoma tomorrow afternoon and will hopefully resume blogging Tuesday, pending that they didn’t wipe out my hardrive.
