I already mentioned to you my potential stamp challenge. I also have a few card classes I never finished and I really want to be a better commenter and general correspondent with my bloggie friends. I fell off the wagon this year and even more so after Atti passed away I think that hit me a lot harder that I realized at the time. On the flip side, like you said, working throughNBUS takes time which means less time for the corresponding. *Sigh* Clearly my real goals for the New Year need to be time management and balance!!!Jen W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11427755487464927638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709379730385988881.post-71942986941073573322016-01-11T12:51:40.767-08:002016-01-11T12:51:40.767-08:00Darnell, your stream of unconsciousness has certai...Darnell, your stream of unconsciousness has certainly resonated with a number of us, on a variety of levels. I did an initial purge of some neglected stamps, papers, inks and yes, water-colour implements (love seeing what over people do with it, but it causes me grief) before Christmas, packed it into two shoeboxes, wrapped it up and ta dahhh....gift for Ms. T! She was thrilled: "You gave me stuff we do together, Aunty C," (although her Barbie car wash did have her distracted immediately afterwards...). She has afternoons, following kindergarten to craft, and I know she has been. Can't wait to do so with her, later this month! Being a so-so commenter: yep, need to remedy that! Not getting caught up in 'fads' that make me go grrrr: also on the list. I like my simple stamping and die-cutting, although I'm crushing over my poly chromos pencils. Anyway...you get the drift. Your resolutions have sparked mine!THANK YOU! Your kite card: sweet! I haven't flown a kite in years...adding to my 'do' list!<br />Hugs galore~ccmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929147498832463255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709379730385988881.post-29996840250806113112016-01-11T11:30:35.537-08:002016-01-11T11:30:35.537-08:00Me again...I was just thinking that your ideas of ...Me again...I was just thinking that your ideas of purging, giving away items, organizing and using up supplies etc sounds like the Scottish customs surrounding the starting of the New Year!<br /><br />Get yer bagpipes out as you purge!scrappymo!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17765178247461095797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709379730385988881.post-34990988732279183832016-01-11T11:11:08.818-08:002016-01-11T11:11:08.818-08:00Stunning shaker card!

I've been fairly good about not buying too many things that I won't use, once I really got into blogging and challenges in a serious way. Before that, I bought a lot of those 12 x 12 paper packs and other things that I now know better than to do. Finishing up your projects and classes will give you pleasure and that's what it's all about. As far as commenting, I don't know how you could ever comment on all of your 957 followers. I have trouble keeping up with the ones I enjoy visiting.Bobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05545534565564730223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709379730385988881.post-14022253193959940022016-01-08T20:21:50.727-08:002016-01-08T20:21:50.727-08:00I guess I should be happy that I've moved twic...I guess I should be happy that I've moved twice in 6 years so I've had to pare it down each time. I don't have too many craft tools or supplies, but I've started to collect a lot of paper so should probably start concentrating on using it more often. What I do have a lot of is toys, because with two little girls we seem to collect piles and piles of teeny tiny knick knacks and dolls. It seems like you're always using new stamps and dies in various projects on your blog so I can't even imagine how much you don't use!! Good luck on decluttering and meeting some of your goals for 2016!!SHartlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07029908883471292293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709379730385988881.post-15650539622960739642016-01-08T20:10:20.855-08:002016-01-08T20:10:20.855-08:00Oh my gosh, Darnell!

I was trying to stick to 1 of 5 of my New Year Resolutions (catch up on commenting with Bloggy Friends) and your<br />post here has inspired me to add 3-4 more to the list! :-)<br />Your REFLECTION list sounds wonderful! I love your generous idea of<br />giving away crafty items (full or partial stamps sets-great!) Finishing those 'started long ago' cards/projects should be on my list as well. <br />I am right with ya on the purging/de-cluttering and not buying new till you use the NBUS, girlfriend. Wishing you luck in accomplishing all your goals.<br />Almost forgot: Love your shaker thank you card~that kite is awesome!Helen F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15625257695451174572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709379730385988881.post-64447297898452983892016-01-08T18:54:26.728-08:002016-01-08T18:54:26.728-08:00I love your amazing kite and your fabulous new ide...I love your amazing kite and your fabulous new idea of cleaning out!

No spoilers on DA, I was just whining that the hype way outdid the short episode this week. <br />I love your shaker card, it's a perfect combination and so happy!<br /><br />Best of all is your novel.
