New Look

I was trying to get a new header for my blog but I give up. I can't find one that I like that fits in the spot I want it to go. I don't know how people get just what they want- maybe I'll have to hire someone to do it for me. Every year, I vow to post more but I get busy and forget. This year, I am going to post more! And, I wanted to post my word for the year...SHINE. I am a shy girl but I really want to shine this year and step out of my comfort zone.

another great give away

Lori Anderson of the blog "Pretty Things" is having a great give away until January 25. She is giving away a wonderful set of letter stamps given to her by PJ Tool and Supply. She made some cool projects with these new stamps and they turned out wonderful. I love her mothers bracelet- very different and modern looking. I think I might have to make one like that but I have to learn how to rivet first. Here is a link to enter the give away.

Lisa is hosting another big blog event- One World One Heart. It is a wonderful way to meet lots of other bloggers and check out some very creative blogs.

Anyway- here is the link to Lisa's site and lots of information about participating. Oh and did I mention the fabulous door prizes?
