Good morning and Happy Saturday!

I don't know about you, but we have been having unseasonably warm weather here in Maine. We typically don't see grass until May... this year we have had 2 days of 80 degree weather. Yes, I know, CRAZY! So, the snow has been pouring away and we may actually see a little Easter bunny action, on the grass, outside this year! I. am. beyond. excited about that.

Well, with all of this nice Spring-like weather it's just perfect for the Art of Digital Design II Spring Blop Hop which will be happening this week starting on March 29-31st. You will have a chance to pick up freebies and read from lots of wonderful, fantastically talented digital designers. I hope you will take the opportunity to also visit and "like" their FACEBOOK pages and etsy/blog stores (as well as mine = )). You never know when you might be able to pick up some more FREEBIES (*hint, *hint) and other good deals.

You will see on my sidebar the list of bloggers who are joining me on this spring blog hop.
Hope you enjoy this wonderful weekend!

Art of Digital Design 2 Spring Blog Hop

So, Spring is supposedly around the corner and we at the Art of Digital Design II have designed a spring blog hop to begin in a couple of weeks. Hope you find time in your busy calendars to pick up some free digital goodies during our blog hop! Happy hopping!

 

Move More, Eat Well

Happy New Year! I hope that 2012 brings everyone peace, joy, happiness, health, and no stress!

I'm starting out 2012 by taking Move More, Eat Well with Cathy Zielske.

So far, so good.

It's not that I need to lose a lot of weight, but it's more about better nutritional choices, moving more, and eating well. I'm hoping to get into the best shape of my life.

I'm doing this not only for myself, but for the future health of my kids. I'm hoping that they will learn by seeing and doing without having to think so much about their food choices. I'm hoping that they will automatically be drawn to healthier food choices, food portions, and will know the importance of exercise and moving more every day for a fit and healthy lifestyle. THAT is what I want for my family and myself in 2012. (Well, along with being uncluttered, organized, focused, and on top of life). ;)

I'm also taking TWELVE over at Big Picture Classes with Stacy Julian. I'm very excited about this class! If all goes well, and I stay on top of my 2012 goals, I should have at least 144 new scrapbook layouts by the end of the year! Woot-woot for the potential seen here!

I'm trying to figure out how I plan on doing a Project 365 this year. I don't think I'll be doing a picture a day. That was too stressful for me. I may just add photos per month of the photos that I do take. I'm going to take the pressure off of myself to do a photo-a-day. That did not work well for me and actually stressed me out and made me feel as if I was always behind. It is supposed to be my story, my way, but it ended up being "my story, someone else's way that isn't working for me". So for 2012, I will be doing it my way. I'm not exactly sure how my way will go just yet, but I know I will develop a plan that will work for me.

I do know that I will be using Becky Higgins Project 365 in Clementine. I have the digital Clementine Kit that I ordered from JessicaSprague.com I will probably put a book together through Shutterfly or order my digital pages and have them printed and put into my own 3-ring binder. I have a few other books in the works at ziblio.com/beckyhiggins that are awaiting my attention as well. I've been working on previous years when I have the time... little by little.

I already have my list at the ready for 2012~
