I’m a bit late, but I just wanted
to send out a “Happy New Year” and a thank all you crafty folk for your
continued support of the crafting industry, and especially for your support of
Crafty Neighbor by attending our events, following us on Facebook, reading my
blog, and by sharing your love of crafting with your friends and family. I hope you had a fabulous 2015! It was a good year for Crafty Neighbor, and
I'm looking forward to many more fun events in 2016!

Every year, around this time, I
choose a Word of the Year to live by. It
helps me stay focused on my intentions.
More than a resolution, it is a philosophy that I try to apply to every
aspect of my life. You can read more
about my Word of the Year here
on my blog, but I wanted to share a bit about this year's word, and how it
applies to you, too. This year, the word
I chose was DECLUTTER.
My intention in choosing this word
was to spend my year getting rid of all the stuff I don’t need, cleaning up,
sorting, and organizing what I do need, and maybe, finally getting to all those
unfinished projects. After further
thought, I decided that the word I really needed was SIMPLIFY, because that
really encompasses both decluttering, organization, time management, and so
much more. So my challenge to myself is to finish the craft room, complete all of the unfinished projects, and get
rid of all the things that are cluttering up my life. That means if I don’t love it, I need to get rid of it!
I’m going to try not to start
any new projects until I’ve finished
some of these old ones, and I am not
going to buy anything new except to resupply stock of basics as they run out. This year is going to be a year of getting
organized and of eliminating some of the excess stuff that is cluttering up my workspace,
my computer, and my life.
One of the most obvious ways I'll
be getting rid of clutter is by hosting the Crafty Neighbor semi-annual
scrapbook garage sale. I'll also be
holding more classes this year, more crops, and I'll even be offering up some
kits and supplies for sale online. As I
declutter the craft room, I will be adding more tables and space for more
croppers so we can expand our classes and have a little more room at our
Thursday Mother's Day Out and weekend crops.
And best of all, I’ll be offering a simpler,
less expensive version of our annual scrapbooking cruise – our brand new Crafty
Neighbor Scrap Cruise LITE!
So thanks again for reading my
blog, and I hope you’ll stick around for another year! Finishing all these unfinished projects means
I’ll have lots of stuff to share with
you here on the blog, and even if you’re not local to the Dallas/Fort Worth
area, I hope you’ll be able to make it to some of our events, which I’ve listed
below.
Happy New Year and Happy Crafting!
