A Brand New Year!


Hi everyone,

Before the ball drops and we ring in the New Year, I'm sure many of you have made New Year's resolutions for 2012.  Whether it be to get in shape, eat healthier, save more money, or start a new hobby (like blogging) I wish each and every one of you the best in 2012.

I know the most difficult part of keeping a resolution is sustaining the momentum after the first couple of weeks.  Personally, I have decided not to make any resolutions for the coming year and to just enjoy each and every day.

Thanks again for a great year of blogging.  I have met some wonderful friends along the way.  Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year!

Here is the card I created to celebrate 2012.

I like how the swirls match the background paper! My only resolution is to use all of my stamp sets at least once...
