Blog Candy is now CLOSED
It is hard to believe how fast this year has gone. I think that is a sign of getting older! ; )
This has been a year of change, some good, some not so good. But if nothing, I have learned to roll with the punches, and not sweat the small stuff. I have learned that laughter IS The best medicine, and to ALWAYS appreciate what you've got. My life isn't perfect, but for me, I have the perfect life. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Last year I made these little ditty's for the Cricut Circle Magazine. It was a little New Year's invite and treat bag. ( I really should have filled the treat bag for the photo. : (
I used a variety of cartridges here, Boys Will be Boys (numbers), Simply Charmed (Champagne bottle), and the Picturesque Cartridge (Card shape).
I also used the Number Collage embossing folder for the purple background. I wanted to give the champagne a bit of pop, so I added purple tinsel to the top of the bottle.
Now to celebrate the change of year, how about a little giveaway? It is my way of saying thank you for a great year! For supporting me, and visiting me.
ONE winner will get ALL of this!
What do you have to do?
Tell me if you make New Year's resolutions. If you do what are they?

GOOD LUCK!
HAPPY NEW YEAR MY FRIENDS!!!

Great project! No...I don't do New Years resolutions. I think they set you up for failure. Wonderful giveaway...love to win!! Lee-Ann :)

Aha ... I'm right there with you on this "soon to be" past year - full of Ups 'n Downs. I don't make resolutions, however, I LOVE the thought of a NEW YEAR. Happy Happy one to you and all.
And, how in the world was I NOT a follower before... can't have THAT in my New Year!!!
No, I don't make New Year's resolutions. However throughout the year if I feel I need to I will make commitments. Those seem to be easier to follow through with than making a bunch on New Year's Day. A very nice gift you are giving away and would love to win. Thanks for the chance.
Cute project. I don't make any New Year's resolutions. I'm a follower.
Cute! I always have "goals" to make New Years cards and can't even get that done! Better stop with the resolutions!
Have been a follower for several years now and read your blog every time there is a new post. I love your creations and also reading about your life. We all have ups and downs and I like the way you handle yours. You go girl!
My New Year's resolution is to get my scrappy stuff in order/organized. I spend way too much time looking for things instead of crafting.
Thanks for the chance at your great give-away.

Hi,
I do not make New Year's resolutions. Thanks for the chance to win. Happy New year.
Posted it on Pinterest.
What great projects Michele!
I do not make a resolution-if I did it would be to make more great memories with my family this year. I am a follower and just love your projects!
For new years.. I want to cook healthier for my family. I always enjoy your blog, much happiness to you in 2013!
Love that project...wish I was with it enough to have made one for this new year! I hope to live one day at a time and to the fullest. It's been an incredibly rough few days, so I appreciate your note about appreciating what you have!!
I posted it on my blog! http://waldeewee.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-chance-for-blog-candy-at-thoughts-of.html
Awesome giveaway. Last year I made a resolution to ride 500 miles with our local bike club so I could earn a plaque. I rode almost 800 miles. This year, my resolution will be to ride 1000 miles. I'm pretty sure I can accomplish it, but it will be a challenge. That's the only resolution I will make...my one little word for this year will be "SHINE". I always do that...last year was action, this year is "shine". Thanks again for the chance to win the giveaway, I always enjoy your posts!
I don't make resolutions. Happy, Healthy New Year to you and yours!!!
I'm already a happy follower :) Thanks for the sweet giveaway!
Yes, I do make resolutions...do I always stick with them?...no. I did do better last year, my resolution was to have a clean and organized home by 2013, well, it is much better and still a work in progress but I have come up with a plan and been able to stick with it and keep up on what I have done and so my resolution for 2013 will be to continue the progress.
Thanks for the chance at the great give away!

Happy new year to you too Michele! I hope 2013 is kind to you.
I don't normally set out to "resolve" anything, but I do set goals from time to time. The goals I've set this year so far are all blogging related.
Oops! I forgot to leave me info and also tell you that I'm a follower...a LONG TIME follower!

That is a great project.
I don't make resolutions as they would be doomed to failure.
Thanks for the chance to win - I have been a follower for quite a while
Cute Projects! I always say I'm goin gto workout more, sign never happens. Maybe this year will be the year! I became a follower! Love your blog! Now to go and Pin IT! Happy New Year!!
I don't make New Year's resolutions any more, but I have become a goal setter. So when I set a goal at any time during the year, I have learned techniques to help me reach those goals. A certain job, a number of books to read, a household project to complete, etc. A good friend of mine talks to me about positive thinking techniques which help.
Hi! I used to do Resolutions and failed to keep them. This year after thinking about it, I'll make goals instead. Goals seem easier, one of course is doing more cards, pages and more work on my stitching. Thanks for the opportunity for this great prize. Happy New Year, to you and your family
I do not make resolutions. I tell myself that I have a new chance to start all over and to be a better person each year. Thank you for the chance to win such a nice prize package. I am a follower so please enter me twice!
ok, maybe I am supposed to enter twice if I am a follower ! LOL
I don't make resolutions. They just make me feel bad when I don't keep them.I do try to help others more each year. Happy New Year to your beautiful family. I am a happy follower of your blog and love all you do. Thanks for the chance to win some awesome prizes.
I don't make resolutions but I would like to stop purchasing so much scrapping stuff. That's why it would be awesome if I won these items. I have none of them. Good luck and happy crafting in 2013. Love checking out your blog every day. Gratitude is always first on my list of daily things to do.
I always make a resolution to lose weight - every year. Obviously if I keep making the same resolution year after year I don't keep them : )
I don't do New Years resolutions-when I did - I always failed. :(
Have a Happy New Year!

Thanks Michele for another awesome giveaway. My New Years resolution is to be grateful for all I have and to try and get more of my scrapbook pages completed.
Great decorations. Love the purple! I haven't made NY resolutions for a while since they're so hard to keep. It's good, however, to have some goals in mind. That's a very generous giveaway you're providing, so thank you for a shot at it! Happy New Year.
I've never followed through with New Year's resolutions so I just don't make them anymore. One day at a time! Awesome giveaway!!!
Happy New Year & Thanks you for hosting this nice give-away! As for New Years resolutions, sometimes I make them and sometimes I don't. This yr. I am going to try to eat healthier & to take/make more time for myself. I could make a few more resolutions but better keep it short & sweet. :)
Thanks again,
Janis
Happy New Year!! And what a wonderful way to start someones new year!! No, I don't make any serious resolutions...unless you want to include going on a diet....which I make everyday of my life!!
Happy New Year to all! I hear so many say I never make resolutions..they just set you up to fail. Well..I have been quite ill for a very long time..I decided to stop focusing on me and my illness and start thinking of others especially those who did not have enough money for a nice Christmas, enough food feel full, enough heat to be warm, enough people around to call friends...so I resolve to think of others, to remind myself daily of the many things I actually do have and while it may not be a Jacquar or a new Lexus, while my home is not large and fabulous, I have people who love me, a place to call home and always something to mix together to fill my tummy. There is no way you can set yourself up to fail when you put yourself last and put others first. So I promise to think of all those who are sicker than me, who have no shelter or food or money or jobs and pray in my heart and aloud that God will watch over you and that you will have those things you desire. I have so much to be thankful for it just gets lost in the shopping and money and yada yada yada. Thank you for this challenge, it has made me realize that NEW YEAR means more than 2013. God Bless You All!! Gabby
Gabby again..I am thought I was a follower but I did it again..that will be a definite 2013 thing to do!! Also posted on FB and pinterest...I think I'm good to go as an entry. Thanks for the opportunity. You're creations are fabulous!! Gabby
Well I do not really do New Year's resolutions, but do try to have positive outcomes from each new year.
Thanks so much for the chance to win. It is nice to keep in touch on the CC MB. I enjoyed the Cricut Magazine this month too!!

I don't make resolutions because they always get broken, but we have had a tough year also so we have to learn how to roll with the punches a little better
I don't really make resolutions but do try to make goals and stick to them but it never happens lol. Cute project and thanks for the great giveaway.
Happy New Years!!!

I usually don't do a New Year's resolution but thought I might give it try this year. Would really like some incentive to walk everyday and to stay focussed on losing another 25 pounds. I've definitely been at a stand still for way too long... Thanks for the chance to win and wishing you and your family a very Happy New year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S! I do make resolutions! I am a work in progress! I love to set goals. Sure, I sometimes fall short but I usually learned something new along the way.
This year my resolutions are to be healthy-drink water and eat better. Read more books. Craft more. Do project life. Be more patient. Do not use curse words when someone cuts me off when driving! Finally, not to engage in gossip.
Thanks for the giveaway! As always I love your creations.
Btw...I follow you on your blog and posted to Pinterest!
Happy New Year! I very seldom make resolutions but will challenge myself to complete a task - such as organize my craft room! That seems to make the list every year after the whirlwind of holiday crafting :)
I don't do New years resolutions. Happy New Year Michele! I can tell you I have family over New Years eve and serve a bunch of snacks. YUM!!!
I just posted this to my Facebook page to alert my friends. :)
I try to make resolutions that I know I'll do with a little push. Like start my own blog which I did last year or make a better point to stay in touch with the inlaws. I used to depend on DH to do that but realized we weren't doing it much. This year I'm resolving to challenge myself more either by online challenges or make my own up creatively.
I'm already a follower. In fact, your blog is the one I always look at. You're work is amazing! Truly an inspiration!
Thanks for a chance to win - a great giveaway! I don't do resolutions - I never managed to complete them anyway!
No I don't make new years resolutions. but I could say I will this year need to make healthy commitment on my self.
thanks for chance to win.
I don't make New Year's resolutions. I could never carry them through.
Thanks for your inspiration and also for the giveaway.
I got to know you this year and what a wonderful woman you are, your strength and compassion.
In 2013, I am going to take care of myself and live each day to its fullest.
Hugs and Happy New Year!
I wish you and your family a great and prosperous New Year and hope you can achieve your resolutions. I don't set resolutions as I think they just set me up for failure. I do set realistic goals for myself and break tasks down so they're achievable when there's something I really want done.
Happy New Years.
Great looking projects.
I really don't make any resolutions except that I do try and be the best person possible throughout the year.
Wonderful giveaway.......
Thank you for this opportunity.

MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION IS TO STAY HEALTHY AND TO REALIZE LIFE IS TOO SHORT TAKE EACH DAY ONE AT A TIME....MAILE LEI
I did make some resolutions this year. Mostly I decided to cut back on crafty spending and use my stash. I will sell my unused items and use that money for any new "must have" purchases.
Exercise and reading will be combined using my kindle, cycle and treadmill...50 lbs would be fantastic, but I'll take it 10 lbs at a time to make the goals attainable.
thanks for the opportunity.

I just added a link to your blog from mine...haven't figures out the "button" grabbing yet...maybe one of these days.

i've been a follower for some time and am always happy to see a new post! my resolution is to be more organized...keeping fingers crossed that it will happen! all the best to you in 2013! laura j
Yes, I do make resolutions. Last year I vowed to wash my face every night before going to bed. I've always been hit-or-miss on this but I nailed it in 2012. This year, I resolve to be more aware of what goes on my plate and into my mouth. I'm hoping I do well with this because I really need/want to eat healthier and lose some weight and inches.

Thank you for the awesome project, and the give away. Don't really do resolutions as they are usually forgotten too early. I do however try to be a "better" me every New Year.

What a fun way to say goodbye to 2012...I usually make resolutions but in the past I have LET myself down by not following thru so this year I started a new thing - called my New Years Goals...they will be something I work towards with no time frame...I think this will be a bit less stressful and Do-able
Happy New Year and thanks for the chance to win.

I no longer make an annual resolution but do make daily, weekly and monthly resolutions. For me it is easier to stay on track that way. Thanks for the opportunity.
I gave up making resolutions a long time ago. I am trying one Little Word for the third year in a row. The first year was a bust. My word was "organize" which sounds more like a resolution waiting to be broken. This year's word is "simplify" and I hope to have more luck with it!
Happy New Year, Michele and family!
I love your project! Boy do I miss that blog!
I used make resolutions, but usually ended up not following through on them. This year, I didn't make any resolutions but I have some ideas that I would like to try. I guess that's a "lite" New Year's reolution? LOL! Thanks for the chance to win! Happy New Year! May 2013 bring you much joy!
What a great thing to do! I don't really make resolutions because I try to right all the time. I am not perfect by any means but I try to be a good person all the time.
I pinned you and shared you on my Facebook account. I don't have a blog but will sure keep up with yours. Thanks for the giveaway op.
What a generous giveaway! Thank you for the opportunity!
I do make resolutions but I call them goals, because for some reason there's less stress if I don't call them resolutions, haha!
My goals for this year are to eat healthier, and improve my communication with my hubby! My scrappy goal is to make more layouts in 2013 than in 2012!
Great project! I don't usually do New Year's resolutions. This year I'd like to eat better and try to find more time to exercise. Not an easy task with an 8 1/2 month old and working full time!

I have a perpetual resolution to lose weight - I am so sick of making this resolution that I'm hopeful I can get it done, once and for all!
I also want to focus on scrapbooking again. I have the most fabulous space, tons of toys, paper, tools, and a gazillion photos -- no reason to NOT scrapbook. I have been making cards because I love the instant gratification..
I always make a resolution(to loose weight) never do. I guess I shouldn't waste time!!!Thanks for the chance to win! millierose651@aol.com
I haven't made any resolutions before, or maybe I had but never actually stick to it. But this year, I wrote all the things that I wanted to improve and change for 2013. I included going to the gym and get back my self confidence. I also included purchasing my own Cricut machine. I am so dying to have one. Hahaha.. Happy new year!
Cleaning my stamp room is my resolution!

Happy New Year Michelle! My new year's resolution this year is more out of necessity than anything...to find a new job. I was laid off from my last new job (only 5 months in to it) right before Christmas due to how poor they company is doing financially. Here's to a happy 2013!
and...I'm a follower too! :)
This is a super cute card! I don't make resolutions. If I need a new goal in my life I tend to make it when I see the need! :) Happy New Year!

I don't really do new years resolutions, because I can never keep them..... LOL.... I mostly do Monthly Goals. I make a habit of trying to change or modify 3 things a month, for the better. They are small, SPECIFIC, things. This way, I'm more likely to keep them. :-)
