Resolutions for 2015 -- please add yours...

LTT1 — Mon, 29 Dec 2014 21:06:01 GMT

We will see if I can dedicate this EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR...!!! for 2015! Some people are just so talented! Please add any resolutions you may have... they don't have to be only Retirement Resolutions (although mine are)... they can be lifestyle related; non-clutter related; decorating related; food related; you get the idea. Please share what's on your mind....

Resolution Day #1... be ready for guests

dentist today will go into the guest bath just in case someone leaves home without theirs!

More ideas (such as the picture above) to come:... the votive above can be made from wide script ribbon... my ribbon is on its way to me!

Hello LTT -- I started out strong last year with reminders of health, fitness, gratitude, finishing projects, etc. Did well until cold weather hit after Thanksgiving and then I got a bad case of hibernation fever. Thanks to Santa's presents of home workout equipment, I'll cut my trips to the gym in half. (Sometimes it's just nice to go home after work plus that darn hibernation fever.)

Have a lovely and prosperous 2015. Enjoy your plans and projects.

I strive to be a better person.

Hi lovestoteach! Congrats on your retirement! Can you post a picture of the ribbon you are purchasing and from where?

Wishing all a healthy, happy new year!

What nice thoughts you have shared! Thank you...

Resolution for today... say something, do something thoughtful for someone else today.

OK! today I sent birthday wishes and intend to do so for anyone I have birthdays for for the rest of the year. I used to be very loyal to this when I was a SAHM... so this must be re-incorporated into my everyday life from here on out... OOO La Laa there are so many nieces and nephews (and their kids).... and I do love each and every one of them!!!

OK.. magicmoodz... hopefully you share my "ribbon addiction!" The pictures show ribbon purchased both on the bay and at ETSY...

Found under google search of "French Script Ribbon" it is 4" wide:

would really love to find with red script... here you go!!! Tell me what you think?

Extend kindnesses to others, it is not always about us. Love all the previous posts.

Oh loves, I understand the addiction. In addition to ribbon, mine includes paper and art supplies! Love that ribbon! I might need some. What are you going to do with it?

I basically decorate in neutrals with just enough parisian accents to make me happy. I have a bench in the bedroom upholstered in french script and several pillows on the sofas in the livingroom have a parisian (along with London and New York) motif.

After you are done with your creation, you should post a picture! Thanks for sharing!

I need to forgive.

Loves,

How about the $ challenge?

Re: Resolutions for 2015 -- please add yours...

lolakimono — Wed, 31 Dec 2014 18:16:31 GMT

Loves,

Mine is also to RRR- reduce, reuse, recycle.

These are my kitty toiletry pouches, about 10 years old. On the smaller ones, the zipper pulls snapped. I haven't found anything online that I liked better, so I decided to "fix" them with my DIY crocheted plaid ribbon to tie them.

Here is another one of my RRR projects, for a game at school using fish dice. Can you guess what the original container was?

Re: Resolutions for 2015 -- please add yours...

LTT1 — Wed, 31 Dec 2014 21:20:14 GMT

Oh, Lola! Yes I CAN guess that container!!! Just KEEP CALM and...!!!

The money challenge I will need to consider... it is SUCH a great idea! I need to post the idea that DD found for me (you may have seen this) using ping-pong balls hanging and starting them in a "swirl" pattern... interesting. Love your crocheted pulls... what a great idea! Also, there is some being sold online that is dyed hem tape for shabby chic and it is very pretty...

Today's resolution... HAPPY AND HEALTHY 2015... on this NEW YEAR'S EVE DAY... is this:

"Author Shauna Niequist writes,"This is what I want you to do: I want you to tell someone you love them, and dinner’s at six. I want you to throw open your front door and welcome the people you love into the inevitable mess with hugs and laughter."

magic... with the ribbon... oh, I have loads of ideas... first of all... there is a metal french-looking hanging mailbox on one of my walls and it needs to have the dried hydrangeas either taken out or freshened... tied with a bow!

I am craving a boxwood wreath... to be hung with the wide ribbon... so it won't take a lot of ribbon... some touches of ribbon around the house right now I may change out... I used a narrow black and white check ribbon around the bottom of a small white jar lamp in the kitchen, so it is time for a change... here's an idea ...

lolakimono — Wed, 31 Dec 2014 21:44:41 GMT

Good guess, Loves, but NO!

It's even more dastardly than drinking Calm.

Here is my other RRR cheap fix.

I noticed that one of the purple stones fell off my Kelli Kouri belt (which is ironic, because the first one I received had stones missing).

I went to the craft store, and for about $2.50 I bought a replacement purple bead (I had to buy a whole strand of them) and epoxyed a stone on the blankety blank belt.

Now I have extras available, just in case.

You were smart to do this... it is SO PRETTY! My KK belt is plain ol' silver and black... or pewter...

OK is it a toilet bowl brush holder???

Nope- it's something that you drink.
