Happy New Year everyone! Are you loving 2009 yet? Well, I am. I had this total rush of energy yesterday. Maybe it was my new diet challenge with Lindsay (see entry below). Maybe it was getting the high score on Dance Dance Revolution. Maybe it was just having a fresh, new year with no mistakes in it.
Whatever it was, I went into my office. Looked at all my piles of creativity sitting around and got inspired to clean things out. If you're like me, you know that managing all your paper and scrapbooking supplies can be a tricky thing. Now imagine that each time you need a sheet of paper, your helpful business partner brings you three or four kits of paper from that line....... so that he won't have to run paper to your house as often. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying it really starts to add up.
But, lucky for you because I have lots of paper that I don't need. Some of it is cut, some packages are opened and no longer complete. Some are just like they'd be off the store shelf. The thing is, CHA is right around the corner and I'll have lots more packages of paper delivered to my house. And, although I love lines like Gretel, Dutch Girl and Hello Sunshine, I have to move to the new lines and the older ones, will be lonely, just sitting on the shelf.
So, I've put together four sets of leftovers. There are complete paper crafting kits from Dutch Girl and Halfway Cafe. There is leftover Blackboard, Buck Naked Chipboard, Ready Set Chipboard, Die-cuts, stickers, paper pads and loads and loads of paper and scraps. There has to be over $100 of product, maybe even $200, in each set. All you have to do is tell us your plans for the new year whether it's a resolution or goal or just something good you hope will happen. We'll enter all names into a drawing. The lucky winner will be announced on Tuesday morning when Larry the Temp will have his debut....... I wonder what he knows about our new releases?
****UPDATE**** There seems to be some confusion. The picture above will be one person's prize. I have three other sets similar in product and amount that will be the other three people's prizes. Yes, I do have A LOT of stuff. I think it's safe to say that I might be the girl with the most paper.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 551 Newer› Newest»my plan for 2009? My two kids, hubby and I are going to get to know our local area a bit better and explore suburbs from A to Z. So far we have explored Avoca Beach and Bateau Bay... next on the list is Copacabana and Dangar Island.
So it should be fun!
WOW, what a great giveaway!!!
My goal is to loose some weight, and SCRAP A LOT!!!
A couple of things that I hope to be able to do in the new year are to be more productive with the time with my kids and scrapbook more.
my plan for this year is to get healthier, send more handmade cards, start my 6 month old's scrapbook, try to have a playmate for my 6 month old... and lots more exciting stuff!
What a fantastic prize... WOWIE!!!
I have two goals and a word for the new year.
First: Take a picture a day. I haven't figured out what I'm going to do with them yet, but I'm posting on my blog.
Second: Be healthier. I am eating well ane exercising.
Finally, my word of the year will be PEACE.
Thank you for this contest!!! And can't wait to meet Larry!!
Awesome. I'd so love to have some of these items. Thanks for sharing.
My goal is to make more cards and post on my blog more often !
WOW that's a lot of goodies!! I'm keeping my resolution simple - maybe i'll accomplish it this year! ;D
It's to sum up each month of the year in words to send out next year in the Christmas cards. :)
Yummy, inspiring photo! My goals for 2009:
Re-do my bedroom and spare room to create warm, comfortable spaces
Develop good housekeeping habits and find a schedule that works and leaves me more free time
Try 20 new recipes
Clean and organize my shed - have a yard sale and embrace "less is more"!
Plan and plant the front flower bed
These are the basics for me!
I love Samantha's "More" list! Very cool!
Never thought someone could have so many things!! My new year resolution is to learn how to make great pictures...
Holy Guacamole, that's a lot of cool stuff! My goal this year is to get something published, and to lose some weight before vaca in Feb!
LeAnne
WOW.....look at all the lovely product.
Well lets see I want to create more this year. Especially more OTP items. I have started already and altered my ideas book and my diary.
Vesna

My goal is (after cleaning our craft closet and finding my huge package of scrapbook materials) to finally complete our Honeymooon scrapbook from our 2003 trip to Ireland! Wish me luck!
FABULOUS PRIZE!!! This year I plan to be more intentional - be proactive in my life instead of allowing circumstances to dictate what happens, and eliminate time-and-energy-draining things from my life - relationships that don't work, projects that no longer interest me, etc. Also adopt a more enduring "attitude of gratitude" - I pay attention for awhile, then forget...I need to not forget! Happy New Year!
wow, what a crazy awesome generous giveaway!
My Goal is to pick one day a week and be completely unplugged: no TV, no Internet, no cell phone, no iPod.
(lights and cooking stuff is OK, just no plugs that distract me from actually creating, living, accomplishing, etc..)
My two main goals are probably the same as some others hehehe 1-drop another 20lbs. (am 20lbs lighter than last yr.) 2-Be better with my money :) so hard with so many new crafting things coming out. lol
Family wise I would like to do more bike riding as a family!
Thanks for the chance to win!
2009 Scrap Resolutions...
Start Anew.....be debt free, worry free and have more faith in life happenings.
I like Kim's comment: to go through your stuff, make up a kit, scrap 2-3 layouts and several cards before I go on to more. I think I will try that too. I'm also exercising more and watching what I eat. Thanks for the chance to win some really neat stuff!!!!!
Personally, my goal is to be healthier.
Creatively, I want to stick with Project 365! A photo a day!
My word this year is ACHIEVE!
Larry the Temp . . . we're waiting for you! Tell us what you know!!
whoa! i can sure use those 'coz my goal this year is to be more creative and productive. and to lose weight!
Love your post title, that is my motto! I try not to make resolutions because that usually means that it won't get done but in 2009 I hope to (among other things) create more, eat healthier, exercise more, laugh out loud often, cuddle more with my kids, and stop worrying about the unimportant small things.
I have so many goals for this year it's not even funny.
- get closer to caught up on scrapbook pages (by that I mean in the year 2008)
- finish the family albums I've been working on for my mom
- finish my brother's scout album
- post more on my blog
- find that magic stamping/scrapping/cardmaking job where I can earn an income yet still be there when the kids need me.
You know easy as pie. I'll be done by the end of the month. RIGHT??!!!
Wow! You do have a lot of paper. My resolution is to take one photo each day and to use them to make a mini scrapbook of my year.
well im hoping to get us out of CC debt...Even if i only pay off 1 and pay down the other one i will be happy
Take more photos and improve my photography.
Wow! I love paper!!!! My goal is to organize my house and scrapbooking stuff!
I really need to work on keeping things in perspective this year. I am big on blowing things way out of proportion and I need to settle that down a little. thanks for the opportunity at this awesome, stupendous, amazing giveaway (see what did I tell ya?? It is a work in progress LOL)
my new year's resolutions:
1.) improve on my spiritual life
2.) strive for a more healthy lifestyle
3.) scrap more than i shop!
thanks for a chance to play. :)
and I thought my stash was bad... but one can never have enough paper! My New Years resolution is to get organized ( thanks for helping me break it already!)- but like I said before, you can never have enough paper!...and my new resolution is to do something creative everyday with my stash.
My resolutions? Everything. Make more cards, get some scrapping done and have fun. This prize would be great fun!
Wow - great giveaway. You're going to feel so liberated (lol!!!) when you get rid of all that paper. My goal for 2009? I don't set goals, just pootle along same as always!!!
Oh, me, me, me please!!
This would start my year off perfectly!
I don't make resolutions as such but I am seriously going to try and organize my craft area and make time for "ME" to be there. Quality time, not just rush, rush time to get something made and done!
Other thing is... be more patient/understand/listening with my kids. I love them dearly and want them to know and believe it!
Thank you for the chance!
This year I wish to have my own scraproom! It would be great to have my space to create. I would also like to use all of my old stuff...but I'm not to optimist about that, you guys have so much great things to offer us...lol
whoever gets one of your give away's will think she died and went to heaven!
oooh la la..That is some GREAT blog candy:)
I decided that my word for 2009 will be CONQUER..I think it has alot to do with some of my goals for this year
My non-crafty goal is to go to the gym more and try to be a little healthier.
My crafty goals are to clean out some stuff I don't want anymore. With that I need to work on and finish stuff that I have bought for some ideas I had originally purchased the stuff for...if that makes any sense! ha ha! I love Cosmo Cricket stuff so that won't be going anywhere but in my projects!!!
Shelly

WoWzA, what a haul of yummy goodness!
Goals:
Diet / Exercise
Organize / Purge
Should be fairly simple, LOL!
Thanks for the chance to win some Cosmo wonderfulness!
Well, there is nothing more inspiring (when it comes to organizing my studio) than getting a ton of new stuff! So there is my resoultion!
wow, that is amazing! Thanks so much for the opportunity.
My goal for the new year is a somewhat simple one.........
BE HAPPY!
Sounds simple, but it definitely has lots of facets.
I'm working on the balance in my life - scrapping more, eating better, catching up with old friends - slowing down to appreciate life!
My goal is to be more lovable. If I expect hubs to be more thoughtful and attentive, I shouldn't make it harder for him, right?
That's some serious goodness!! :D My main goal for 2009 is organization. I'm being buried alive in craft supplies and I need a plan! :)
My goal is to return to teaching in the fall! I am working on finding a good school (I am a Christian school teacher) both for me personally AND for my sweet children. They'll start school all too soon! :)
Happy New Year!!
One of my main goals this year is to get organized and sort all of my crafting "things"! I can never find things, so I end up buying items more than once. I also have a ton of cardstock that I have to use before I can buy any more!! This leads me to my 2nd goal...stop hoarding!!
I plan on putting a photo a day on my family blog. Very exciting stuff I know!
I will be welcoming a new baby this year..that should keep me busy! Happy New Year!
OK a couple of goals for the new year:
1) To start running again - and get that full marathon under my belt.
2) To get my jewelry in another shop.
3) To embrace all that I have.
4) TO make friends.
my scrap goal is to use up the bin worth of older paper I have. :D I am going with this year a combination of new items and old. That is the plan anyway :D
Like everyone else I would like to get my scraproom in order...and do one fabulous papercraft per week. I also plan to teach myself how to knit, re-paint & strip wallpaper from my bedroom (which has been waiting for 10 years) and to keep BALANCE in my life!
I want to get more healthy and take better care of myself - I know a lot of people probably promise to do that at this time of the year. I also want to make the most of my time after work - I don't get a lot done during the week, and I could if I tried.
I want to get more healthy and take better care of myself - I know a lot of people probably promise to do that at this time of the year. I also want to make the most of my time after work - I don't get a lot done during the week, and I could if I tried.
My New Year's Resolutions are.....
to live life more simply, healthier, and happier. To do all I can to get away from all the drama and just for DH & I to enjoy eachother as well as our grandkids. :)
WOWZERS on all those goodies! Looks like HEAVEN! :wink:
Oh, my goodness! That's a lot of stuff and great stuff too - I love Cosmo Cricket.
My goal is to scrap a page a day! I accomplished it last year and two years before that. I started scrapping late in life and I've got lots of catching up to do (I just turned 60) Plus, I love to scrap. My desk is located between the living room and the dining room, so I'm still part of the family even though I'm scrapping.
This is my baby son's senior year of high school so that means more and more photos. By the way, Jack's World worked really great with a teenager photos!
My word this year is COURAGE. My grandfather, who I help care for, is on hospice so this year our family will have to face some life changing events which will require courage. I am involved with a new church launching team and this year we will work like never before. I need to get healthy and lose weight. That will require courage to follow through on exercise/eating plans.
No confusion here! Would love any of those goodies to add to my collection! Love your product!
Oops my plan is to become organized and stay organized for 2009!
I hope to make this year the year i grow more. I have been a Stay At Home Mom for 8 years now and want to venture out and explore some job opportunities from home. I need to not be scared of change but embrace it. I would also like to continue to slowly change my life style to make it more health. (they say a slow change is better than a fast one) After a year of stress and loss in my life I hope to feel more at peace and relaxed. And another goal would be to try and meet some of my Scrappy friends I have made in other parts of the U.S.A.
I hope 2009 brings my family and I happiness and all the the folks out there having a hard time in 2009 I wish you all PEACE !!!
While I have lots of unofficial "goals" for the New Year, my only actual resolution is to complete Project 365 in photos. Crossing my fingers I can do it and that it improves my photography skills!
Wow. All of that paper looks so gorgeous. I'm not setting resolutions this year, but more like areas to focus on. Mine are:
Something to change- work on spending habits by making a budget and saving up better for unexpected expenses.
Something to maintain- keep pushing myself to do things outside my comfort zone by talking to people and speaking up.
Something to improve- become more involved by volunteering more often.
Also, I would love to keep my craft space more organized, but we all know that's more wishful thinking than anything!
I read once that the only true measure of success is to leave this world better for your being here. This year I'm going to become very successful.
Speaking of which-Lindsay don't forget the butterfly project link I sent you. Be a good time of year to let people know about it!
What a fabulous give-away.
My goals for 2009 are to stop worrying about the little things, and to try to get over my people anxiety. and have a great start to 2009.
My scrappy goals are to totally get my 6 yr old hooked on scrapbooking and have her scrap beside me. My other scrappy goal is to try to be in bed by midnight - i get so carried away scrapping at night i know it is not good for me - but I so totally love it and never feel tired until I quit and realize I have to work the next day. (not to mention get the kids on the bus)
What a great prize package! My goal for 2009 is to help others through my crafting. I'd also like to make more of my Chritmas gifts in 2009 so I'd like to start now. Easier said then done! Thanks for this awesome opportunity and Happy 2009! I am a paper collector also!
As another paper addict, I have to agree that you DO have the most paper! But thanks for sharing it! My plans for this year include really living every day and enjoying my boys!
I have a few goals I would like to accomplish..
~Family Night that we stick to every week!
~Family dinner one Sunday every month with all the family that can make it!
~Create scrapbooks and cards on a regular basis, and get an area setup to be able to do that!
~Work harder on my business so I can be proud of myself and make more money for my family and what we need - especially since I havent had child support to help out in well over 2 years and have health problems that make it so I cannot work outside the home on a steady basis!
~Get closer to my Heavenly Father and attend church more!
~Make my kids a recipe album or box..filled with some of my favorite recipes!
Okay I think that pretty much covers it and is probably more than I needed to say hehe
Happy New Year's to you and thanks for the chance to win this fabulous candy!
~Teresa
My goal for the New Year is all about organization. If I am organized I can create more and know where all of my awesome Cosmo papers are at all times. Four kids later I have lots to make!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Happy 2009!!!!!
I will be focusing my life on a "one little word" for the year and that is DARE!
one of my goals is to continue to get fit and eat well to lose some extra weight gained last year!
Happy New Year! Paper - I love paper! My plans for 2009 are to start posting my cards on websites to I can get feedback from other paper crafters.
Relax more and don't let little things get in the way of a good day. Organize my scrap room. Play more with my son and with my "stuff". Take better, not more pictures.
My plan is to be able to find work!!! I'm trying to get back into the workforce after my DH losing his job in Aug! Scrapwise, I would love to get back into scrapping on a regular schedule. Hope you have a great year!!!
I'd like to spend more time stamping in the new year. I want to start using different mediums than the "same old ones" I use now. What awesome inspiration by looking at blogs!
My plans in the new year are to get my SB room organized ... a place for everything & everything in it's place! Then I just want to enjoy creating... joyfully!
What an awesome gift!! Um, is it fair to say "I plan to win this"?!! Seriously- I have before me what God has planned- to His glory and by His power!! Many blessings!!
Wow I'm 282. That's quite a number.
My New Year Resolution is simple:
-Relax. I stress too much, then I lose my temper and then I'm no good. So I have let things slide and give people a break and try to count to ten when my kids are trying to kill me. Sounds simple, right.
My plan for 2009 is to spend more time with my family, try not to get to stressed and scrap more. I want to live in each moment and learn to cherish what I have!
My goal is to scrap more this year and to organize/clean my craft room. Hey, one of these prizes would help with the scrapping! ;D
like everyone else probably, my goal is to lose weight...but in addition, I want to give myself permission to be creative and enjoy myself!
that is quite the stock of patterned paper! thanks! lisa k in tx
WOW that looks like quite the stash you cleaned out! I would love to have that!!! I can't wait to see what Larry has to say--or show ;)!
wow...your leftovers are a treasure! yay for us!
this year, i plan to move towards the life i imagine myself living...less tired, more productive..stay motivated to reach my goals and keep up with organization to simplify my life...balance is going to be a focus! this is the year for much change!
thank you!
chelle
One of my crafting goals is to share more of my projects with family and friends, and not just wait for a special occasion. I make it, I give it away! Also, I want to get organized once and for all in my craft room! This might end up being 2010's goal, too, but a girl can try!
I plan to finish the two wedding albums I've started :o
WOW!! That's a TON of stuff!!! I LOVE Cosmo Cricket!
I have a hard time making New Years Resolutions because I rarely keep them. SO instead, I have a 'word of the year'. It's ACCOMPLISH....My goal is to accomplish more things and today, I accomplished taking the tree down and putting all of Christmas away in the attic...
My next goal is to ACCOMPLISH organizing my scraproom completely including rearranging the furniture to be more efficient....
I'd say do have the most paper wow! My new years resolutions..hmm well let's see, loose weight (we all say that), finish the projects I started last year and start getting out of debt. Happy New Year 2009!
Hmmm...
My goals are to eat better, read more, and enjoy my time with my family.
My plan is to stop skipping my lunch break at work ... to walk away from my desk for an hour, even if it's just to listen to my iPod in the lunch room ... I've got to start taking a break. Thanks for the chance to win.
WOW what a give away!! this year I plan on completing yet another course, oh and try to find more me time to scrap! LOL
Oh WOW that's a lot of pretty! My goals this year are to keep up my neglected blog and to take time every day just for me and my paper habit :)
My goal is to finish an album all about me. I only started scrapping in July and have fallen in love with it. It helps my best friend is quite the enabler. :) My family has been so supportive and I enjoy this new creative outlet.
WOW! I love, love, love paper! Anyway, my goals for the new year are to eat more healthly, exercise, be more organized and to just live the best life I can!
Happy New Year!
Oooo I can't wait to see what Larry says! I am going to get organized this year. I have been working on it for a week already! I started early, but I really want to get there!
My resolution is to find a schedule and stick to it. I don't have a set schedule so I often find myself stamping when I should be cleaning. :-) The whole time I'm stamping I feel guilty because I know I should be doing other things. Once I have a set schedule, I'll be able to have guilt free stamping because I know that I'm where I'm supposed to be for that time frame.
my resolution for thisyear is to "make" myself. i'm not totally sure what that means, but i have until 2010 to figure it out.
I am going to finish some of the many projects I have started in the last few years. Happy New Year!
New Year's ideas (I hesitate to call them resolutions, hee):
1. organize my stash
2. use my stash - cards, scrapbooks, etc.
3. open my Etsy store to sell what I made with my stash
Thanks for this opportunity!!!
My main goals for 2009:
1. Finish my scrapbook room so that I have my own tranquil place to create.
2. Spread more love to my family and friends through simple actions.
3. Enjoy the little moments and live each day without worrying about the to do lists.
Happy New Year! Thanks for the opportunity for fabulous products.
I have lots of plans for the new year...
~get a job
~graduate from nursing school
~get active
~pay off my credit cards
~get a good nights sleep.
Thanks for a chance at that awesome goodie pack!!
This year I intend on keeping up with the good habits (exercising, Bible study, etc) that I have developed this past year, and to start purging & organizing our home so we can pack up and move when we find a new home.
Happy New Year!! I plan on using up the current craft stash that clutters my space!!
Happy New Year Cosmo Cricket! Thank you for this opportunity to win some great stuff! Love that!
My plans for 2009 are to be more organized, make ALL the projects that I have been putting off, scrapbook more, do much more blog hopping, and really finding my creative "nitch"!! God Bless to all of you at Cosmo Cricket!!
My goal for the new year is to get pregnant! I am working to get my health in tip top shape so I can take the best care of my baby in the womb and when it is out. So I of course need more scrapbooking goodies so I relish in great memories and can show my baby how much it is loved.
My goal is to document our daily lives more often with pictures and journaling so I can use up more of my stash!
Goals is a good word...stick to my craft budget - it's a good size budget, so I won't necessarily be deprived, I just need to think before buying (what do I have similar that I could use instead). Empty a drawer, then buy refills or new items...and of course, while the lose weight resolution never works for me, I'm going to focus on just being healthier. Happy Happy New Year!
I love paper more than most anything else in the world. Pick me! :)
My plan for the year is to get back to writing, clear out and reorganize my living space and lose a billion pounds.
I took my cue from Ali Edwards' word for year and found a phrase for the year. "Anything is possible." With that said, I know I can clean up my craft corner!
My goal is to have more energy to create and get my home in order. A better diet and exercise is the way to my goals. So I can use all this beautiful papers, etc to create!!
My goal for 2009 is to create my own paper crafting business on Etsy. I am a stay at home mom who hardly has the time to do it with two little boys but I am refusing to let that stop me. I am very driven to do this and this IS the year to do it!!!
My Scrapping goal is to complete all unfinsihed projects lying around my scraproom. My house goal is to get carpet inteh living room, a new built in microwave, and new living room furniture.
My goals for the new year are rather simple, but rather lofty!
1. Be more organized!
2. Lose weight, for my health and my kids!
3. Don't take life too seriously
4. Give more
5. Love more
Most of all my hope for the new year is that my mom, who has had a very rough 2008 can feel the independence and freedom she deserves.
Thanks for the opportunity, I am so excited!
Oh my that is my dream prize right there...
My new years resolutions for 2009:
*create more

Generally IMPROVE my life.
Shouldn't be too hard now should it lol.
my goals:
-to do more family activities
-get over grudges/quit holding grudges

Goal is do something creative every day
My main goal for 2009 is to MAKE MORE MEMORIES!!! Which includes more family time, more fun outings, more picture taking, etc.
I just read a great quote that I want to live by..."Life is not measured by the number of breathes we take, it is measured by the number of times our breath is taken away" SO...this year I want to take my childrens breath away!!!
Wow what a RAK, I would love to have some more Cosmo Cricket, it has been my favorite lately. Thanks for being out sponsor at Scrap City, we had some awesome projects done with Jack's World.
I don't know if these are goals or just trying to better myself in some big and little ways.
1. eat better
2. exercise more
3. not have my mii on wii fit be obese anymore.
4. be nicer
5. stay away from not nice people.
(not easy when you are a waitress)
6. slow down ( not sure if this is
possible with 3 kids )
thanks for the opportunity to win. Your blog is cool. have a great day!
Dang girl, It sure does look like you are the girl witht he most paper! What a great way for you to make room for the new! Thank you for the chance at some awesome goodies!
I didn't really make any resolution this year. I'm 2.5 months pregnant and have a toddler. I don't need anything else to keep me busy... haha Although, my scrapping also keeps me busy. I do have a few scrapbooking goals for this year though. I want to get my wedding album done, at least 75 Christmas cards made for next Christmas and to get started on my son's 1st year album(s).
My resolution for this year is FOCUS.
I have a huge tendency to stray from anything that I attempt. So this year I plan to stay focused. The word will be on my blog, my craft room wall, the fridge and even if I have to, stamped on my forehead. LOL
My goal for this year is to get my craft room really organized so that things are where I can find them and use them easily. I want to have more time to create and then share more of my work. Thanks for the chance to win!

I don't really have a new New Year's resolution. It's a continuation of something I'd already been doing. I started an intensive workout program last June and I intend to stick with it this year as well as I stuck with it the 6 months of last year.
Oh - and I plan to scrap MORE than last year (and that's a lot)!
I don't have a resolution but instead I have picked a word to focus on for the year. This is my 3rd year doing it this way and this year my word is SEEK. I am working on the layout for word but this year I have decided to do a layout at the beginning and the end of the year on my word for the year, showing at the end how I did!
I have 6 things that I am working on this year, eatting less, having an attitude of gratitude, Scrapping more, Enjoying Life/Homeschooling, Being more organized. I made a little tag book to keep me on track with my goals!!
heatherebrown@att.net
My goal this year is to eat healthier and exercise more. As for scrapping I want to complete more layouts and stay organized.
Wow that's a lot of candy! My goal is to organise, organise and organise some more. Not just my house but my time too....especially my online time. That way I'll have more time to craft with all the goodies that are coming my way :-)
A big goal is to buy our first home
I just got my first card published, so I want to submit more often, now that I know its possible.
Use what I buy and only buy what I love.
Scrapbook more often.
Make at least a card a day.
Be present in my relationships.
Make more awesome memories with my children.
This year I will try to use something before I buy anything new (and maybe I should say, I should use a lot before I can buy something). This does not count if:
1) I win something (so please....).
2) I win the lotto, buy a new house, buy all the storage I can get my hands on and then SHOP.
I will craft more this year, especially in making cards. This year I had problems for the first 5mos in moving my arm and hand due to a pinched nerve in my arm. The rest of the year was a wash because my sense of creativity was at an all time low!! This year is bound to be 100% better!!
OH MY GOD! that must be the motherload of cosmo goodies i've every seen!
my resolution this year is simple:
to streamline my scrap purchases, which would definitely help if i got to win this ! so puhhhhhleaasseeee pick me :)
My 2009 goal is to stay organized... and complete personal 365 challenge. I want to stay positive and live in the moment... I worry a lot and I need that to change or I will be in line for botox soon!
What a wonderful giveaway!!!
My goals for 2009...
~to live simply
~organize my home
~be more creative
~read my bible daily

OH my goodness! I'd love all of that stuff!!! Thanks for the chance to win it~I have numerous goals for 2009--one of them is to lose some weight (every year!) and another is to submit more for publication----we will see how that goes!
Wow...hmmm...I want to take more risks, and push myself to be more creative! I want to start scrapping about me and my family, not just our great kids. My Dad passed away almost 2 years ago and I'm just know feeling like maybe I can tackle scrapping about him.
Thanks for the opportunity!
I want to finish knitting my husband's sweater that I started about 15 years ago! And clear out clutter.
Yey! Finally a contest I might win! A fight to the finish... I am totally addicted to paper and my family laughs at me because I don't want to use my prettiest sheets. I have SO MUCH paper but I love it!! I do need to put some time into organizing but I am working on getting a job this year. I lost mine in December and it's been easy to find other things to do besides work on my portfolio. I need a kick in the pants!! So that is what I will be working on... getting my butt out on a job search so I can have disposable income to buy more paper!
My Scrap resolution for 2009 is to journal more! It's a BIG scrap flaw of mine.
A personal goal is to eat less fast food!!!
My pln for the new year is to get pregnant but shhhh don't tell anyone. I don't them all asking me if I am pregnant yet! lol
My resolutions and word for the year: BALANCE: exercise more, eat healthier, take time away from crafting to read, make time to help others, learn new art techniques, and ORGANIZE and CLEAN my craft room to make space available for this great give-away!
The word I am focusing on this year is joy. I want to find more joy,live with joy and give joy. Cosmo Cricket paper is defiantly something that gives me joy.
My plan for the coming year is to use up a lot of my current stash (of course, if I win, this candy will become a part of said stash) so I can cut down on the bulk of my supplies. This will really help with that goal, won't it?!
Awesome prize! Thanks for being so generous :)
My goal is to bring in some more money - so that means going out to work more ;)
My hopes for the year is that Larry the temp will give us a sneak peek sooner than the 6th... can't wait that long. ;)
Although I also need to clear out my stash, I'd love to get my hands on some of your stash too! :-)
My goal (and it is an impossible one) is to get more caught up. I'm currently about a year behind. I'd like to make that more like 6 months. But I think I'd need to quit my job and ship my kids off for a month for that to happen!
I have lots of plans this year. Starting with keeping busy while my Hubby is deployed (again)! We are also moving into a new house so I plan on purging lots of things to make my new house less cluttered. I also plan to lose about 20-30 lbs. by my baby sisters June wedding! Wow, I need to get busy!
Yes, you might be the girl with the most paper lol. Happy New Year!
My goals for 2009 are:
- to always have a handmade card for all the birthdays/occasions that come up that currently I have no card for.
- organize my craft room! I'm not aware of what I actually do have.
- scrapbook more
- love more
- spend more quality time with my family
- see the world with "new eyes"
- enjoy all the "little" moments
Here's to 2009!
Well...I don't like to fail so I'm not "officially" committing to a resolution.
But...like everyone else...I want to exercise more, eat better and get more sleep. With four kids it's not easy but I HAVE to do it.
Notice I didn't mention, "SCRAP MORE"....LOL....there's always time to scrap!!

Holy cow - great giveway! My New Years goals are to not sweat the small stuff. I tend to get caught up in little things and hit a stumbling block. Hopefully I can also use this approach with my scrapbooking - I need to get caught up!
I plan to be more organized and thoughtful in the coming year! You're off to a great start - I'd love love love to organize those papers when they arrive at my doorstep!! :)
Happy New Year!
hugs,
Elaine
Sweet! I just rearranged my scrap area and am more organized than ever. Safe to say I am getting a lot more done now too...so I need more cool supplies!
Thanks for this chance at some goodies!
Hello from Spain, and thanks for the opportunity.
For this year i hope to
- Loose a litlle weight.
- Save money for a big travel
- Try to change of home
- Try to be a little more happy
- And i hope to finish the year with all my family
A huge goal of mine is to do more things that take me out of my comfort zone both in things I create and just living!
wow Julie! you sure know how to make sure people post on your blog! lol!!
my resolutions:
*drink my 8 glasses of water
*exercise for 30 minutes a day
*fit into a size (not telling) pants by the end of 2009
*complete two 5Ks
oh.....and to complete 52 layouts for myself!
have a great time at CHA! sorry I won't be there!
My 2009 resolution is to allow myself more time to craft and do what I enjoy! And of course get to the gym :)
That is ONE prize??!! Oh my gosh, you have the possibility of being buried by paper in your scraproom. I'd be glad to help you out. :)
My new year's resolution is "Balance". I need to learn to balance my life and responsibilities and make more time for myself and my family.
Like my friend Napoleon says, "Luckeeee."
My resolution this year is to find the "old" me. After being a mom and wife so long I left some of the things I loved behind like eating chocolate ice cream for breakfast (highly recommended!) or painting my nails white with black tips. Just random fun stuff.
tina :)
Oh my word, that is a LOT of stuff!!
I have several resolutions for this year:
1. Get organized - can't use it if I can't find it.
2. Get things done - stop procrastinating.
3. Pay off the bills - I don't like being in debt. At all.
4. Exercise - my back will never get better if I don't.
5. Create - just get in there and do it, without fear. Don't obsess about perfection.
Thanks, Julie, for offering some of your great stash. My goals for 2009 are to:
1) become less of a workaholic (my family misses me), 2) carve out more time for scrapbooking and card making, and 3) use the gym membership I'm paying for every month.
my goal for 2009 is to get it together...physically, spiritually and financially!!!!
My goal is to live my dreams everyday! One of my dreams is to win and create with some Cosmo Cricket!
Help me with my resolution!
Whoa Momma! This is the mother-load of CC paper. I promise this is a good home, and it would be well taken care of here. Promise!
I am going to try and be more healthy in 2009, that will include eating right & exercising. This is also going to include doing a 365 challenge, where I feel this paper could come in real handy. I am not following a kit. I figure I could do it myself. So paper is needed.
Happy 2009 Cosmo Cricket, may you rock another year!
Papercraft every week in '09 - and find more work to support it!
A girl can NEVER have too much paper!! Seriously, I'm addicted to paper...and ribbon...and embellishments...ok, I'm addicted to it all!!
This year I'm hoping to get ~ and stay ~ organized. I just repainted my scrap room (well, the hubby did it for me!) and I'm in the process of reorganizing FOR THE LAST TIME :) My goal is to get everything in it's place and keep it there!
Other goals ~ save money, spend more time with my family, get healthy.
Happy New Year!
My goal is to organize my entire house--not only can I not find my craft stuff, but I can no longer find anything!!!
This year I plan to create more layouts & cards and be debt-free by the end of the year!
Thanks for the opportunity!!
Well, I'm a new comers to this blog and my plans are to spend more time exploring new scrapbook ideas and to finish some undone projects.
I also want to start new scrap projects for next years Christmas craft fair that I have a booth at every year.
I'm new at this blogging thing... But my plans are to finish so projects for the 2009 Christmas Craft Fair that I have a booth at. Also I hope to get more crafty ideas for some of these great blogs
Oh my goodness, that is SO nice of you Julie!
I'm going to remember to do the little things. I can't forget why I'm here and that is my family...plan and simple. I have to remember to cherish every moment.
Oh...and there's that 20lbs I'd love to lose too ;-).
Holy Wow! That is an insane prize! How generous of you. Thank you so much!
For January, I'm doing the 21 day plan from the inspiring book "The Source" by Woodson Merrell. I started an art journal to document my 21 days. My intention with the journal it to keep me accountable. I certainly do not want a half started journal that says "I suck, I lasted two days".
Happy New Year
My goal for 2009 would be to become more healthy, get organized and create outsize of my comfort zone. With that said...I would love to take some of those leftovers off of your hands! I LOVE Cosmo Cricket! You have such wonderful and versitile product. I cant wait to see what you come up with next!
My goals for 2009 are to find a job and finish my father's scrapbook.
Since 2008 wasn't the best year for me, I am hoping 2009 brings more happiness and calm.
One of my many resolutions is to do some scrapbooking for myself instead of just making gifts for others.
Studio organization,get published, and pick up on my scrapbooking once again! Wouldn't all that paper be perfect for these goals??? LOL Happy New Year!
My goal is to become healthy...I also want to organize my scrap room but that is second on the list - I work well with my piles on my dining room and living room tables ( we eat with tv trays) I am an addict !!
Thank you for a great give a way !
My resolution is to be BETTER
Better mom
Better wife
Better health
Better friend
Better in as many aspects of my life as possible!
Like every paper junkie I hope to get my scrapbook room organized so I can spend more time creating pages . I would love to be the girl with the most paper! Happy News!
My goal is to keep scrapping and just simply enjoying it!!! Actually Enjoy is my OWL for 2009!!
WOW!!! I want to compete for the girl with the most paper!!! this would help me make that goal!!!
goal for this year? Scrap more, at least 4 pages a month, and do at least one card a week.....
and ot try not to procrastinate so much!!
Wow, that sure adds up to be one mighty stash you've got going on!
My resolutions this year are to find my bliss, be kind to myself and look after myself better...great things will flow from there!
This year I'm making good on my plans to get my credit cards paid off - I'm figuring I'm down to the last 2-3 payments now! Whoo hoo!
Then I'll move on towards organizing a permanent scrapping place in my bedroom. It's 20x12 and has a perfect spot behind the door.
I love your papers - thanx for the inspiration and chance at t'rific blog candy!
That's a lot of stuff!! My goal for 2009 is the lose weight, but then again who doesn't?? My goal is to also scrap more and now that my new scrap room is completed I can shut myself away and scrap!! woohoo!! My goal is to scrap for myself and my family, and not the scrap forumn I belong to. I find myself trying to impress them, more than scrapping for my family and that is totally wrong!
What an amazing lot of goodies!!
My goal for 2009 is to strive for balance in all of the areas of my life. No easy task with two small children, a hubby and a totally scrapping obsession! :o)
love the title of this post!!! makes me smile!!!
I plan to spend more time with my family. good time. not the time spent stopping all the fights between the kids because that's not fun and shouldn't count. more day trips to sight see. more game nights. more conversation.
Happy 2009!!!
I have some big hopes in a couple of areas... First since my husband has been laid off, I hope to become recertified in my teaching field and possibly secure a job for the fall in case he is not able to find something (Michigan's economy is not the greatest in case you didn't already know that). I wasn't really wanting to do this until next year, but you've gotta do what you've gotta do... Secondly I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to finally get my act together and apply for a design team at my local LSS (even better if I could be selected) and would love to get a few more things published electronically and eventually in a print magazine. Keeping my fingers crossed that all works out!!!
Ok, you and I must think alike. I had that same must clean up feeling and so I talked the hubby into building me shelves and now I can see my stuff all at once (and so can he - which prompted him to say on three different occaisions - you have to stop buying!) My goals is to get birthday cards out early each month to everyone and give out thank you cards as much as possible. To take a picture every day - and then do something with it and finally make stuff with all the stuff I have!
If I died right now...I would DEFINITELY be the one to win! However, one can NEVER have enough Cosmo Cricket paper (so I don't know what you're talking about!) Even if it's lonely, don't you like to just walk by and run your fingers over it? Maybe pick it up and smell it ever once and while?
Well, if you must find a happy home I'd be happy to help you out. I can promise you that your paper will live a happy cut up life here with me.
My resolution is to complete more mini albums that are a bit easier for the kiddos to sit and look through. The 12x12 piles are gettin' a bit to high!
Happy New Year!
My New Year's Resolution is just one word: Balance. Seems like if I can do good with that, everything else will fall into place!
What a wonderful prize package to give away! Sounds like my motto of having the most paper but a girl can always use more (not to mention that I pay it forward with others)! My goals in 2009 is to continue living a healthy lifestyle, play more creatively and keep my scrap area more organized. It's amazing how much more I can get accomplished when I can find my stash! LOL
FANTASTIC TITLE, you made, It sure opened my eyes, and my collauges here at work had to have an explanation why I was laughing out LOUD in my "internet-surfing-break"
My goal for 2009 is to embrace more joy in everyday things. I am going to try to see the good in things, situations and people - to be grateful for what I have and not worry about what I'd prefer it to be like.
Like a lot of others...I want to create more. So little time....must make more time, must make more time, must make more time.....
I would like to focus more on the things that trully matter and to start looking for a house on my own.
Thanks for the chance to win!
2009 I hope is the year I lose it for good--the weight, the junque, the excess baggage in my life and on my hips. That does not include my paper stash--I'm in the running for "the girl who dies with the most paper wins" competition, but would love your stuff to add to mine.
My goal for 2009 is to lose weight and get fit. I am also going to get into motocross and scuba diving. This will be a great year!
