A New Beginning

Happy New Year everyone.  I am back to the most wonderful world of  blogging.  I hope all of you had a most wonderful holiday.  The first week of mine was perfect.  The second week, I took down my wreath and put a Red Cross on my front door.  LOL  But we are almost all better now, thank the Good Lord.   How are you coming with those resolutions you made?  If  I made New Year's Resolutions, which I don't, It would be to use up some of my paper stash.  I am so guilty of buying all these beautiful papers and not using them.  Every time I go shopping I come home with a "couple more sheets" of gorgeous have-to-have papers.  But I am realizing that beauty hidden in a drawer is not beautiful.  Beauty is being used and shared. Soooo.....  (Sounds good right?  Wonder how long I'll last before I find another piece to hide in my drawer.  The Good Lord knows I am a wicked girl and he has a lot of work to do with me.)

The Digi Doodle gals are celebrating New Beginnings this week.  I chose this precious little baby girl, called appropriately enough Baby Girl.  Bet you can't resist those eyes, I sure couldn't.  She caught my heart the moment I clicked here.  So hop on over to the Digi Doodle Challenge Blog and join in on the fun.  There is a $10.00 gift certificate in it for someone.  There are also lots of participants in these challenges and checking them out has been an awesome experience for me.  I am amazed at some of the creations our crafting world come up with. While you are there, take a peek at what my DT sisters have created this week.

The Digi Doodle Shop has made some new changes to start the New Year too.  Check them out here to see what they did just for YOU!:

  7. What a sweet card! I am in the process of cleaning out my craft room and I suffer from the same fate - buying stuff and not using it. I didn't make an official resolution either, but I am making the effort to use up what I have. So much easier than sorting it and putting it all away, right? ;-) Good luck with your stash!
