Hi everyone :) I haven't shared my ONE LITTLE WORD yet. I've chosen TRANSCEND. I know it sounds a bit pie-in-the-sky but here's a definition I like. I'm a striver & not someone that ever stays static so for me it's a good choice.
transcend
tranˈsɛnd,trɑːn-/
verb
- 1.be or go beyond the range or limits of (a field of activity or conceptual sphere)."this was an issue transcending party politics"
synonyms: go beyond, rise above, cut across
-
- I'm a shamelessly competitive person & I find it challenging, satisfying & rewarding to push the boundaries in an attempt to improve continually in what I do. In this instance, scrapbooking & all that it entails HOWEVER...
I've been sharing online for over FIVE YEARS now - that's a LONG time,
& 1 660 posts later {on my blog alone, not to mention all the OTHER
places I blog!} I don't feel the need to be in such a hurry anymore.
I want to take my time creatively, so that I can experiment more & enjoy
the process more too. So I have had to make some changes , resign from
a couple of Design Teams & learn how to say NO sometimes.
In 2014
I am at Scrap 365 magazine, which is really exciting for me! I KNOW I don't share
a lot about it here. I'm still learning the ropes of the publishing industry & how to be economical with my words. I have to cut every article I write in half! We work SO far
in advance that I lose track of WHAT has been published when & WHEN I can share.
I'm planning a comprehensive catch up on all I am allowed to share by now, SOON!
Lindy's Stamp Gang, which is AWESOME. I'm like a
pig in mud there - just wallowing in gorgeousness.
2 Crafty Chipboard - so far - so awesome! Loads & loads of loveliness
arrived a short while ago & I have been in my element ever since,
finding any excuse to add their awesome product to my projects.
Inkido - this indulges my shabby side, with beautiful, soft floral papers,
darling stamps, dainty bling & pretty flowers. Everything a girl could ever want ♥
Scrap Around The World - this is my BABY! It is demanding & naughty & enchanting & captivating & we have a love/hate relationship with each other! But I am still hanging in there & doing the best I can do {without allowing my other Design Teams to suffer} to grow my new challenge blog into a strong, independent force to be reckoned with & so far I am succeeding! It's more work than I ever imagined & sometimes I wonder if it's worth it - other times I know it is.
I'm a resolution maker. I make a list of things I'd like to achieve every year then make monthly schedules of things required to achieve those things. I don't put a rigid time
limit on things because I'm really patient & prepared to wait & work for what I want.
This year I have at least THREE specific scrapbooking goals
I would like to achieve. They are too personal to share but
if I attain any of them this year I will certainly let you know :)

That is a great word! Wishing you luck with your scrappy goals and congratulations on all your success that you worked so hard to earn!
Your word is so very YOU. I am not competitive at all where my scrapping is concerned...and I just enjoy the journey of creating and meeting wonderful people in the process. I realise that my first priority is to the Ministry we are involved in and therefore I know that I can't get caught up in my head running away from me where my scrapping is concerned. I have a great admiration for people like you...who knows what they want and GO FOR IT.
Love the post and understand you completely and of course I wish that those resolutions come true. I'm rooting for you!!
Super word Helen and I hope that this year is just awesome! May your every dream, ambition and goal be met, and may you savour each and every moment! ;-)
All are sooooooooooooooo true! Wonderful collection of quote Helen!
