fulfill with def

As 2014 drew closer I was staring to feel a little panicked because I couldn’t think of a word for the new year. Usually it comes fairly easily. So one night I sat in bed browsing the online thesaurus until it hit me, FULFILL! It conveyed what I wanted to accomplish this year. I have many big goals this year and needed something to help keep me on track. A reminder to do something each day to work towards those goals. To FULFILL them!

This is my sixth year choosing a word. Some years they have been more prevalent and some not so much. In 2011 I took Ali’s class and it really helped me focus on my word. I highly recommend her class! She is so inspiring and amazing. This year I choose to take again and am so happy I did!

 

Are you playing along with One Little Word this year? If so how are you staying connected to your word?

Today was a rough one. It was the day we laid my Grandma in her final resting place. She passed away last weekend surrounded by her loved ones. My Grandma was always a party animal. In her younger days she was known to dance on tables, which has been passed down to my mom and now to me. Yep I’ve been know to dance on a table or two! It all started with my Gram.

Growing up we lived next door to her and my Grandpa. It was the best! I could look out my bedroom window and see into her kitchen window. The kitchen is where she spent most of her time. She was always there for us. When we needed to escape we could just walk right over there and hang out. Plus she almost always had something delicious on the stove. She will be missed greatly but we know she is at peace now watching over us.

My wish is that when we have children they will have such a strong bond with our parents like I did with my grandparents.

Love you Gram!

new years 006

Whohoo it’s a new year! I was ready. Not that last year was bad, it just wasn’t my favorite. So I’m ready for new, bigger and better things. Let’s do this 2014!

Here’s a quick tutorial on how I made the ‘2014’

Cut your numbers, star and starburts (I used my Silhouette Cameo for that)

Grab a few strands of foil garland, hold it on the number and stick over it. do this until you’ve got a good amount on the number. Once you area happy with the amount you have trim the edges. Next sew on the stars and starburts.

After sewing all this fun stuff on the numbers punch hole in them and sting them. Ta-da easy peasy! It probably took me less than an hour to do all of them. and how fun would this be for a birthday? The possibilities are endless!
