I'm getting personal. This blog has felt less personal, more business. And I really liked the idea of making the blog a journal, as it's intended - and of including more photos.

10% of Proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society

Happy New Year - I have been posting sporadically to this blog, and I am really sorry for the neglect. It's not that I don't love you, really, it's not. It's just I have big plans in the works that are sucking up my attention (but making me super excited).

HOWEVER, I couldn't pass up on participating in a fantastic FUNdraiser being hosted by Miami Springs Middle School. On Saturday, January 15th, they are hosting a "Scrap for the Cause" event, and we'll be there! And as part of the FUNraiser, we will be contributing 10% of all proceeds from now through January 16th to the American Cancer Society, through the school. And if you shop now, not only can you feel good about the great cause you will be supporting, you can also save the big bucks with the coupon listed below. So spread the word, and stock up on some great products for the new year!

Reverb 10 - Prompt One

December 1 – One Word. Encapsulate the year 2010 in one word. Explain why you’re choosing that word. Now, imagine it’s one year from today, what would you like the word to be that captures 2011 for you? (Author: Gwen Bell)

My 2010 word is Shift - A shift in priorities, in mindset. Watching the kids grow up and feeling like I can't keep up with the changes.

My 2011 word will be Passion - I can teach my kids to follow their passion by finding and following mine. Finding what makes me excited and doing more of that and less of the distractions.
