I’ve had a few technical issues behind the scenes that I’ve been trying to work out and this post will be a bit of a test to see if they are all resolved. When I have to work on the techie behind-the-scenes stuff, it’s harder to find time to focus on the fun and creative content so I’m really hoping this will all do the trick. If not, I’ll keep trying!

A lot of creative people struggle with trying to focus on too many things at once. I’m definitely guilty of that because there are so many different projects I want to work on! I guess that is why this quote really resonated with me.

I’ve had Valentine's designs on the mind (hint, hint, check back here tomorrow!) so I thought it would be fun to share some creative ideas here. Valentine’s Day is only about 2 weeks away now so this is a great time to work on projects! Also, be sure you are subscribed to my newsletter because when I send it out this Friday, there will be a fun and free Valentine’s surprise in it. ❤️

I love finding creative people who inspire me and I’m excited to share a new find with you today. Meet Jason Naylor, author of Live Life Colorfully and a really cool artist whose mission is “to spread color and positivity across the globe.”

If you aren’t already subscribed to my free newsletter, be sure to sign up today! I will be including a free downloadable surprise in tomorrow’s newsletter. I’m planning to add more free downloads and fun gifts in my newsletters this year as a thank you to my subscribers.

You’ve probably seen the templates that I have designed for digital scrapbooking. I use them all the time for scrapbook layouts, but I was so excited when my daughter Riley used one to create a vision board for her 2021 goals.

I’ve been following Ali Edwards’ inspiration for choosing one word to guide my year since 2008 and this has become a tradition for everyone in our family. This is the first time that I have been the last one to choose my word. My husband Jeff picked Onward. My son Alex picked Change. My daughter Riley picked Steps. All great words! I have to admit that I have NOT felt like picking a word. It just hasn’t clicked for me this year.

Coming out of the year that changed everything, it’s no surprise that I’m feeling a little different about setting goals than I have in the past. I’ve always been an avid goal setter and that has helped me accomplish and achieve a lot in my life. I still believe in the power of goals and will continue to set them, but I’m going to embrace some new attitudes that I think will be beneficial and more satisfying.

Back when I was a co-host of The Digi Show podcast, I mentioned that the last week of the year is one of my favorite times. The other hosts were very surprised by this! I think many people have some letdown after Christmas and feel a little lost in the space between holidays. Both my husband and I have learned to cherish this time. He usually takes the week off and we both focus on getting set up for the new year.
