2 of my favorite things. I love love love these birds from a kit that I bought on Jenni Bowlin's website. Unfortunately, when I went to post the link to order them, they were sold out. 
I have my word plastered all over my studio. Well, ok, maybe not ALL over the studio, but I am using my word, Innovate, in many of my projects. This is the front cover of my organizer, reminding me to remember my word...and the year... Stay warm-it's gonna be a cold one in Iowa tonight!
This is a candid photo of a silly string fight in progress in my living room in December. Yes, you bet they cleaned it up after they were done. Fun to see them playing together though. With something that cost a couple bucks. Guess I can return those more expensive gifts... 
This is a notebook that I created for my Mom using the Bind-it-All that she was generous enough to buy me for Christmas! I made pages for the inside using regular white cardstock and then I printed wallet size photos on my printer from our celebration back home. Good times!
My word for 2009. So tell me, is it obsessive compulsive to take 10 photos of a word that I've written down on a piece of paper in order to get the one shot with just the right lighting and focus? Probably. It may depend on the person... Anyway, the reason I chose my word. Innovate...Create...I am looking for ways to be more creative in all areas of my life. To come up with new and innovative ways to solve problems. To think before reacting and find an innovative approach to my reaction. I am looking forward to incorporating my word into my daily life. Happy Monday-ooohh and I almost forgot-Happy Birthday to me!
