I couldn't resist doing a blog post with this title.
I found my garden labels at a cute little shop in Sonora (whose name escapes me) but you order them here. The greeting was hand stamped by me but you could also use a permanent marker on them.
I am starting the year off as low-key as possible. I am still in my pajamas at the advanced hour of 2:20pm. I spent the day yesterday cleaning the house top to bottom (I like to start the new year with a sparkly clean house) so there isn't much to do except surf the internet and drag out my stamping tools.
I could go shopping but I am observing a few New Year's traditions/supersitions. I am not spending any money today so that the rest of the year will be spent in financial abundance (along with putting $100 in my wallet yesterday so I would start the year out flush and by putting a new coin over the doorway to draw in wealth).
Same with the house being clean and all the laundry being done and put away. That way I won't spend the upcoming year under piles of housework and laundry.
I also washed all the bed linens in the guest rooms in order to ensure a house full of guests throughout the year.
Now ask me how I'm doing with my New Year's Resolutions….

This was full of good advice and much wisdom! I’ve been telling myself that this is the year I don’t need as much. After all, then I just have to move something else aside to find a place in which to put it…

Ahhh, great perspective. NOW? It’s the end of the 1st day and all I accomplished was getting my kitchen back in order and a nap (something im not giving up). Oh and got my son’s boarding passes. I guess I can start tomorrow??? One things for sure; i started the new year with guilt. have to work on that!
