I used a new stamp, with a new moon, for my new beginnings, to create a little hanging ornament. I decided that as the new year marks a new beginning the words, by Eleanor Roosevelt, were something to keep in mind throughout the year, particularly when things are not going to plan! Please visit my BLOG for more details.
Just moved to a new state, and a new city in a new house. So its defiantly new beginnings for me. Please visit my BLOG for more details!
My Tag Calendar was designed to pile on the positives and to uplift the spirit every time the date is checked. The best changes I believe are those that come from within us. Listening carefully to my heart and instincts is my 2015 plan! You can find more details on my BLOG.
Old is New or a New beginning, back a week ago I used one word to sum up the last year, or old year if you like it, and I found that I still need to continue with that same word in the new year as well. So old year out and new year in, word stays and it is: dare. This time I created a small box with inspirational words in it in case I need some push. I used some completely new things in my art and of course also old and reliable techniques. For details please visit my BLOG.
New Beginnings for Old Cookie Tins...I have been saving several cookie tins knowing that some day I would use them for some thing. This past Christmas was that some day and using them as gift card/treat holders was the some thing :) Visit my BLOG to see the other "repurposed" items I used on these cuties as well as instructions to make them.

This year I'm starting a brand new art journal. I took some time to decorate the cover. I get weekly prompts from the documented life and documented faith projects. Both are inspirational, and push me to try new things! Please visit my BLOG for more details.
