Kim and Talia :)

It's Monday!

We wanted to check up on everyone this week and see how their resolutions are going? I know that sometimes we choose to work on things that are maybe totally different for us or are completely out of our comfort zone...and I find that it helps to have someone that is checking up on you or there for support. So if you haven't checked out the goodie gallery you really should see all the fabulous things people are doing in their lives! And the pages are amazing!! Thanks everyone for sharing with us this month! Remember this is a new year...and you have a clean slate...just think of all the things you can do with it!

And time for a little inspiration....

"Organize Planner" By Kim Loewen

I needed a place where I could write down ideas and plans for each room in my house and keep little inspiration ideas from magazines. There's an envelope as a pocket on the front cover to keep any loose papers and then I also added 3 tabs for different sections...and it's small enough that I can carry it around with me. A great tool for my organization goal!

Remember....

You have until Sunday, January 27th to submit your layouts! One winner will be announced next Monday!! And the prize is unbelievable this month! A huge thanks to The Urban Scrapbook!!!

Have a great week everyone!

Inspiration!

I know it's not Monday....




But we have stuff to share!!










"Resolution Ornament" By Talia Audenart

I love love love this ornament Talia made as a reminder for the resolution she made this year. She has this hanging in her home and whenever she looks at it she can remember to work on her goal. Fabulous Tal! I love it!!!



It's not always easy to make resolutions...you need to reflect on them and keep motivated and sometimes that's hard to do. By making something to put in your home, car, or at work (wherever it might be) it will help you accomplish whatever it is you are working on. You might even set aside a certain time each week or month to sit down and think about your progress....or maybe just by displaying the layout you created about your goal will be a helpful reminder. There are some fabulous layouts in the goodie gallery! Keep them coming!

Challenge #8: "Resolutions"

Happy New Year!!


It's that time again when we think about the things we want to accomplish in the year ahead...and whatever it might be, we thought it would be fun this month if we challenged you to challenge yourself! We want you to do a layout about the goals you've set for yourself and the things you want to accomplish. And if you're still having trouble deciding what it is exactly that you'd like to work on, ask yourself these questions...

"Is there something missing?"
"Is there something you've been putting off?"
"What do you want to change or do better at?"

You might set a big goal...but there's also always little things in our lives that we seem to only make a mental note and say "someday I want to change that..." Why wait for someday? This month we want to inspire you...encourage you...and be there as you make a fresh start in your life. So start today by deciding what it is you want to work on...and then create a layout about it!



And now for some inspiration....



" A New Day" By Talia Audenart
I love how Talia included an envelope on her layout where she shares her reason for making the resolution she made this year. And I love the colors she choose...it just seems to set the mood for her goal!






"Clean Up & Organize" By Kim Loewen
I created a mini album on my layout with before pictures and words that remind me of what I want to accomplish. I also left some spots to add after pictures! It attaches to my layout by sliding through one of the pattern paper strips.




Remember to email us at thegoodieboxgirls@hotmail.com and attach a copy of your layout so we can post it in the Goodie Gallery!


And check back next week for the sneak peak of this months Goodie Box!!! The Urban Scrapbook has donated an amazing prize package filled with fun stuff!!! You won't want to miss out!
