"I Will" Cover-All by Design Team Member Julie Ann Kelley
Well...my life is about to change...my marriage of 26 years is ending, I just turned 50 But I WILL NOT let it get me down! I hope to dive into scrapbooking and I hope to do more of what makes me happy FOR ME!!!
ReplyDeleteI will do more scrapbooking, I will work on improving my vocal skills, I will learn new things and be available for God to use me in people's lives. I will learn more about the person I am becoming.
ReplyDeleteLike the poster before me, my marriage is also ending and I'm moving back to USA after living 10 years in Sweden with my Swedish husband. We are going to share custody of our 3-year-old which will be super hard and that prompts me to say, in 2009 I will be STRONG. I will move on with my life with grace and dignity and continue my pursuit of happiness. I will also continue scrapping as it is one huge source of happiness and contentment that I can never give up!!
ReplyDeleteI will really try to spend more time doing things I want to do for me. One of those is to do more scrapbooking. I also want to use my bind it all every month, I LOVE IT and want to think of new and exciting ways to incorporate it.
ReplyDeleteI will SURVIVE! I'm a single mom of a 17 year old girl.
ReplyDeleteI will try to do more things that help make life easier for the people I love. I made a monthly planner for my DH when the one he usually purchased couldn't fit the pencil he likes to use. I used the BIA I just received for Christmas so he can slip the pencil into the owire. He loves it!
ReplyDeleteBeing a brand new, first-time grandmother, I will gladly do more babysitting!

ReplyDeleteIn 2009 I Will. . . finish my Memorial Scrapbook of my dad and become a grandma to a baby boy who is to be named after my dad.
In 2009 I want to focus on having fun instead of being bogged down with house stuff. I want to enjoy my 2 very young children. They are only young once!
ReplyDeleteI will make more mini albums that contain things like greeting cards and my kids artwork that they insist I keep!
ReplyDeleteIn 2009, I will start using more of my stash instead of just hoarding it, and make lots of use of my new BIA.
ReplyDelete...actually finish some of those mini albums I've started. Yep, finish them.
ReplyDeleteIn 2009, I WILL keep up the exercise program I started on January 1st. (Yes, I know that most people stop keeping their resolutions by February!) I WILL learn how to deal with difficult people at work. (Any help on THAT one will be much appreciated!) ~nancy in ny

ReplyDeleteOH wow!!!!!!! This has been hard for me so far this year but am trying really really hard, I stopped smoking 2 1/2 months ago and have put on some weight (to much) so I went to the Dr which sent me to the Dietitian and I am trying so hard to eat less and eat healthy and not to pick up another cig. My children are so proud of me for quiting and it is a challenge everyday, but am doing it.
ReplyDeleteBut for my art I am going to put more into my art when I do it like learning new things.

I will get a handle on my finances and try to get more out of debt. I will continue to tell my husband and children that I love them everyday. I will continue to tell my mom and sisters that I love them every day. I will do another 100+ layouts this year and finish an album about me so that when my time comes my children will know about me instead of just what they saw.
ReplyDeleteIn 2009 I will... use more of my scrapbook stash; including my Bind-It-All! I will also pick up a Round-It-All for all of the great projects I'll be creating.

Too sum it up in 2009 I am going to focus on the more important things of life.
I want to do more crafting especially using my BIA and learning about how to use my brand new dreamkutz which will hopefully make things a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteI am determined to break into politics. I have complained for years and it is now time to do something to change the things I don't like. To work for the people! BTW - LOVE my Bind-It-All!
ReplyDeleteI plan to relax more I hope - seems I never can just relax...after 4 years of working full time and going to school in evening - I need to relax!
ReplyDeletein earnest, I WILL create personalized and unique gifts for all of my friends, relatives, and special co-workers this year. They are the most important "things" in my life!

ReplyDeleteIn 2009 I will crate more projects and give away more of my creations, donating to charities, etc.

ReplyDeleteI will be scrapbooking more, for the past 2 years, I've managed to only do 37 LOs ....my goal for this year is 100.

ReplyDeleteWell I am going to:
1. Use what I have (scrapbook wise)
2. Do the 365 layout challenge
3. Work on getting me healthy
4. Go on a spending diet
LOL
I will live a healtier life, spend more time with my family and friends, and take tons more pictures to scrap!
ReplyDeleteI will craft more than I did in 2008! But I will try to use some of my supplies that I am "collecting" instead of buying too much more.
ReplyDeleteI hope to do more scrapbook pages this year. And I will use up my stash of paper instead of buying more every time I go into a scrapbook store. And I also got my lovely pink bind-it-all for my birthday so I will make some projects with it. Have loads of ideas floating around in my head.
ReplyDeleteEveline.
In 2009 I will do my best not to put things off :)
ReplyDeleteI will try to be a more patient mother, a more supportive wife, and kinder to myself. Oh, yes, and squeeze in a bit more scrapping too!
ReplyDeleteThis is the year I will try to step out of my box and scrap more freely!! I vow to use more ink and paints, to hand journal and to scrap without lines!!
ReplyDeleteI will survive. In September, I lost my most beloved husband. In November, I lost my dog. In December I had to give up our fost-adopt twins who were scheduled for adoption in February. I have gone from being a member of a family to being alone with my old beagle. Everyone tells me I have to keep busy. So I will be starting a pottery class next week, taking a hat making workshop probably in the spring, and attending a week-long photography class in Minnesota this summer. I just want to make it through my first year without him.
ReplyDeleteIn 2009...
ReplyDeleteI HAVE been admitted to hospital for the first time so I WILL need followup appointments to get myself back to good health.
I WILL have to move house for the 30-somthing time (due to marital separation).
I WILL devote more time to ME, so I WILL scrap more, go out more, do more of what I want to do.
My life is changing for good this year. I'm happier now than I've been in over 5 years. I'm working out and working towards losing those pounds and I'm not stopping yet. This year, I am in it to win it, and I'm not backing down!
ReplyDeleteI will scrap more and spend less.

This year of 2009 I promise to spend more time with my two darling sons! I have noticed how quickly they both are growing up! I also promise to devote time for me to scrap!
ReplyDeletetry to spend more time doing the things that make me and my family happy.
ReplyDeleteI am finishing my 2009 calendar right now and will bind it this weekend. I recently purchased red covers and page protectors to make a mini album of my Christmas photos. I can't wait. I love my BIA!
ReplyDeleteI will make more time for my scrapping!!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to make books and journals and I will do it this year with my new zutter tools. Happy 2009 to all.
ReplyDeleteIN 2009, I will use up more supplies and use the BIA more so the dust come off it. I will stop buying supplies I end up casting off to my kids (i.e. make smarter choices). I will stop feeling like I MUST scrap every event.
ReplyDeleteIn 2009 I will try and use my scrapping stuff more than in 2008, I will try and use my Wii more as it has been forgotten about and I will try and have fun!
ReplyDeleteIn 2009 I will start my own company, and quit my old job. Alot of possibilities around the corner in 2009.

ReplyDeleteIn 2009 I will rejoice in the happy moments with friends & family and forget that I turned 60!
ReplyDeleteDonna
There are a lot of things that everyone thinks about when we think about new year resolutions. One of a few that I have is to spend more time on my scrapbooking. I have so much to catch up on that don't think there is such a thing as caught up. ;0)
ReplyDeleteI will try to get myself more organized so I can actually DO some more scrapbooking. I will try to scrap one layout a week. I will try to make mini albums for 2009 Christmas gifts.
ReplyDeleteI WILL conquer my "fear" of using my BIA and I WILL make some everso beautiful things using all the inspiration from this site that I can find! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI am planning on doing more scrapbooking and making more time to write.
ReplyDeleteMy bookgroup and I are also planning to release 1000 plus books at a local festival.
I can juggle, I just have to keep telling myself I can do that.
I Will... Allow Happiness Into My Life. I Will... Be Positive. I Will... Be Giving. I Will... Live For Today. Oh And I WILL SCRAP! :D

ReplyDeleteThis year I will take more time out just for me! Time to relax, enjoy some peace and quiet, and time to destress... all while using my BIA of course!
ReplyDeleteJenny
In 2009 I will...prepare for retirement, play more with my scrapping/stamping toys, make many many items with my BIA as the ownership has ignited my creative juices.
ReplyDeleteI plan on doing much more scrapbooking! I will use my Bind It All to create many more books and gifts this year. 2009 will be my best scrapping year yet!!
ReplyDeleteI feel like a lot of people have already said this, but I plan to do less thinking about scrapbooking and more ACTUAL scrapbooking! I am loving mini albums and my DH just got me a Bind-it-All for Christmas! :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope to get my stamping area cleaned up and more organized. I do this all of the time but it just keeps getting messy on all of the horizontal areas ... I do not understand why! I love my BIA and use it a lot for my books and books to sell! Blessings
ReplyDeleteI *will* get more layouts done and finalized in an album. Layouts are harder than cards - they seem infinite. So goal - get down and get them done.
ReplyDeleteThis year I will definitely spend more time doing things that make me happy and less time doing things that I think will make other people happy.
ReplyDeleteThis year I will do more projects that are scrapbooking related. I have done layouts for so long and never have worked on projects. I have had my BIA for 2 years and NEVER used it until I started looking on this blog. :) I just looked at the "stepping out of the box" post and got another idea :)
ReplyDeletei will do most of the stuff fo rmy wedding myself - invites, decors and favors. :)
ReplyDeleteI really hope to learn more of my BIA during 2009 - and be kind to myself.
ReplyDeleteI will try to do more scrapbook pages, more projects using my BIA and I will try to improve my photography skills
ReplyDeleteIn 2009 I will use up some of my scrapbook stash. I am also going to be more deliberate about finding time to scrapbook. Losing some weight would be great too! (How much room do I have here to list all the things that I want to do?????)
ReplyDeleteI will save more money, and therefor shop wisely and keep in touch more with family and friends.
ReplyDeleteI promise I will use my bind-it-all more in 2009 to create projects that I didn't think I could accomplish
ReplyDeleteI will use my bind it all to create projects other than books such as calenders, picture frames, etc.
ReplyDeletedefinitely start doing minibooks! and save up so I can buy my own pink BIA :)
ReplyDeleteI 2009 I will....
ReplyDelete1. Save more, spend less.
2. Take extra time to exercise.
3. Read a book once a week.
4. Finish At least 3 LO a week.
5. Spend more time with my daughter, Rain.
6. Be more loveable and available to my hunny...
I will finish our basement and enjoy life more. What I am looking most forward too is getting the invitations done for my DS 's wedding to a wonderful girl who I am proud to have in my family...
ReplyDeletepurplemel2@yahoo.ca
i will try to be more active in our church and be more serious in building my personal relationship with God. In scrapbooking, i will do more layouts ad be more productive because last year, scrapbooking took a back seat because the photography bug bit me.
ReplyDeleteIn 2009 I will ENJOY LIFE!
ReplyDeleteThis year I will create more books to encourage people during these rough times. God has blessed me with a Wonderful family and I want to be a blessing to everyone I come in contact with.

In 2009 I will make a real effort to make more items to sell locally, as all of my stuff that I made before Xmas sold in 3 days and I made $400. I really need this extra income as my DH lost his job last October and the job market is pretty grim. I love doing this stuff so I would be right in my element.
ReplyDeleteThis year, I am going to try to buy less and USE more!!!
ReplyDeletethis year, I will try to be more discipline with my diet and exercise. i want to lose weight and be physically fit.
ReplyDeleteHi...I am the proud owner of a new zutter binditall but have no supplies as yet lol...and have not played with it either as we were all sick over the holiday..so..I vow to get this out of the box and play VERY SOOON!
