{Pink-alicous Blog Hop} - January 2012


Pin It
Welcome to the first 2012 Pink-alicous Blog Hop hosted by My Pink Stamper. If you're following the hop you should have arrived from Alex's blog -- if not you can click here to start at the beginning so you don't miss the details.

___________________________________

Alright….let's start….
The theme is all about "new" and "fresh" ideas for the new year.  You're in for a real treat from the entire design team, for sure!  You'll see lots of fabulous projects!!
For me.
As I begin almost every other year -- this year was no different.  I promise myself to get more organized, be a better person, mom and wife.  This year I thought I'd make me a little journaling notebook to keep "track" of various tips, inspiration, words of wisdom, or ideas that will help me reach or keep these goals.  You know….all of those words of wisdom from facebook, pinterest, other blogs…etc. that I run across.

Ta-daaaa....
simple. cute. and functional.





Did you ever realize the POSITIVE and INSPIRATIONAL sentiments and messages that is on every single My Pink Stamper set.  For real.  So much versitility.
I decided to pull out multiple stamp sets and randomly stamp on the blank pages inside the notebook.
Why?
  These random messages will provide me with motivational support and I thought it would be interesting to read my little messages as I jot things down in my journal.  I hope you enjoy my project!
