My one little word with a BIG impact for 2016.

Each year since I heard of Ali Edwards and her one little word challenge,  I've chosen an appropriate word as my focus for that year. For example the year my husband and I married and combined households, my word was "nest". I would choose the word, make a scrapbook page around it, and basically file it away till the end of the year, where it stayed in the background of my mind. Here are some of those layouts from previous years.







This year, I decided to do something different. I'm a procrastinator, which I now realize stems from a fear of not being perfect, and I am also not a finisher. I have many projects in various stages of progress, which leads to a lot of physical and mental clutter. So, this year, I simply wrote my word down on a dry erase board and leaned it against the wall at the end of my upstairs hallway near my sewing studio, where I see it every day. Now, we are not even a quarter of the,way into the year and this word has impacted my life each and every day with so much positive effect it's nothing short of amazing. What's my word? More on that in my next post. Till then, what one word can you choose that will make 2016 your year to shine? It's never too late to start. Leave a comment below telling about your experiences with One Little Word, if you have worked with one before, or with the word you have chosen for 2016, and I'll choose a random winner for a box of awesome craft supplies to help you illustrate your word of the year!
