Happy New Year’s Eve! Are you ready to ring in 2014? I hope 2013 was a good year for you and that 2014 brings you even greater blessings. I’m looking forward to the new year and to continuing to share creativity with all of you. The sharing goes two ways and I always look forward to the Inspiration Board and the amazing projects that you share here.

Now on to the creative party.

INKLING: new year’s resolution printable

A little new year printable for you just in time for your New Year’s Eve party. Simply download the file, print out and cut them out.  Resolutions can be big or small. From life changing healthier choices to simple things like, being kinder, getting more sleep, or taking more time for yourself. Not having a party? Fill them out yourself or with your family. Roll them up and store them away until next year and see how well you did.

Has everyone recovered from the hustle and bustle of Christmas? I think I need a few more days…  I went ahead and hosted the Inspiration Board link party this week even though it fell on Christmas Eve and I was so happy that so many people came by and shared projects. Thank you to everyone who took the time to swing by during this busy week.

If you didn’t have a chance to stop by, here’s what I shared here at homework.

CELEBRATIONS: New Year’s Eve Confetti Straws

Every year I try to come up with a new way to package up confetti for New Year’s Eve. That way, everyone just gets a small handful and the confetti and glitter clean up is somewhat manageable. Besides, the package makes it all the more fun.

CELEBRATIONS: Merry Christmas

Welcome to The Inspiration Board Creative Party! For many of us, it's Christmas Eve and even though I know a lot of you are preparing, wrapping, cooking and baking, I wanted to go ahead and have the link party for those of you who may not celebrate Christmas or for those of you who have time to stop by.

Happy Holidays ~ Merry Christmas ~ I'm so grateful for another year of blogging and sharing creativity with all of you.

Now on to the creative party. I can't wait to see what you're going to share.

Happy Friday everyone! Ready or not, next week is Christmas. Here’s the reality at my house: a tree that’s not decorated and only has lights on the top half because all our strands died, my traditional décor of a nutcrackers and evergreen swags are still in the garage and there’s no cute bowl of trendy pastel ornaments on the table. But, I have finished shopping (phew), we have our traditional plan to head to my parents on Christmas day and at some point I’ll break out the iron so that we can be wrinkle-free at Church. So I guess the reality is, I am ready for Christmas.

In case you didn’t get a chance to stop by this week, here is what I shared.

While I look for my iron and start wrapping gifts, enjoy the projects in the spotlight this week.

GOOD TASTE: Holiday Sweets at P.F. Changs

There’s a reason that P.F. Chang’s sells 8,250,000 Lettuce Wraps per year. They are good! Have you ever been to P.F. Changs? It’s one of my favorite restaurants and definitely my favorite for Asian cuisine.
