One Little Word 2012 - Finish


I chose FINISH as my word for 2012. So far, I am learning a lot about myself and how I do things. In the past, I have not been very good at bringing a project all the way through to completion, but I hope to change that with my focus for this year. Here is a photo of the two necklaces I have to remind me of my word. The dictionary necklace I made myself and the circle charms were ordered from JLynn Designs on Etsy.

Pinterest love!


I have fallen in love with Pinterest! There is no end to the great ideas out there. After pinning a bunch of stuff over the weekend, I took a trip to Michael's to see what I could find for supplies to make some of the things I really liked. This is project number one - a dry erase family calendar. So simple! I used a collage frame, some scraps of scrapbook paper I had at home and leftover letter stickers from different projects. I love the way it came out and can't wait to start using it to keep track of who goes where.

Here is the original pin:


On the Pinterest to-do list right now are:

1) a menu planning board
2) a dictionary charm
3) placemats
4) a valentines garland
5) a new desk/bookcase for my craft/computer room
