Educating Your Creativity

January 2005
Vol. 1 Iss. 6

Another New Year is upon us! I know I'm excited about the coming year . . .not only for my family and friends and all the scrapable moments we will share, but for the idea of starting anew. I've resolved to do many things this year and have 12 whole months to accomplish them. What are you resolutions for 2005? Have you scrapped your goals yet or put them down on paper? I have a to-do list taped to my computer desk as well as a goal list so that I can look at them every day and motivate myself. So, the next time you have some free time, think about what you would like to do in the coming year, write them down and decide how you are going to get them done! You might just be surprised with the outcome. Plus, you will have wonderful scrapping material for future inspiration. Happy New Year to you and may all your goals be realized this year!

Sincerely,
Michele Ciola
