Getting Organized and New Year's Resolutions

With the new year upon us it's time when many of us make resolutions. Resolutions are not a bad thing, by any means, but we do need to realistic when we make them.

I searched around online and found several lists and tips about organizational resolutions that others have set for themselves.

At www.thenewhomemaker.com they have a top 10 list of Organizing Resolutions. Good ideas here.

I found another list of ways to get organized at www.menus4moms.com

If your crafting area is a mess I found the Top 15 Ideas and Articles for Organizing Your Craft Room
at www.about.com

The one key ingredient in all these articles is... WRITE it DOWN that way you can look at your list form time to time and check that your goals are in order. I find that using a cute notebook or planner makes it a lot more pleasing  when checking my list, so seek one out that you like. You could also make a cute notebook cover from the tutorial we have here on www.byyourhands.com

Here's hoping we have a prosperous and organized new year.

Happy New Year Wish


My Happy New Year wish for you
Is for your best year yet,
A year where life is peaceful,
And what you want, you get.


A year in which you cherish
The past year’s memories,
And live your life each new day,
Full of bright expectancies.


I wish for you a holiday
With happiness galore;
And when it’s done, I wish you
Happy New Year, and many more.
