My Very First Vision Boad

I was so inspired by Francine's post about her vision board that I had to make one of my own.  It is now hanging in my scraproom and is just the inspiration that I need to stick with my disconnect and reconnect plan for this year.

It felt so great to look though magazines and cut out images, words, and phrases that appealed to me.

I also have some small spaces left that I want to add some more phrases that I could not find in the magazines that I looked through but other than those it is pretty much all set.

I used Gel Medium to adhere the pieces to the canvas and then brushed a light layer of Paper Mod Podge onto to seal and protect it.

Have you ever made a vision board?

Disconnect and Reconnect in 2012

Every year for the past few years I have been inspired to pick One Little Word to be my guide through out the year.  After seeing this print for sale on Etsy and rediscovering my love for knitting and reading I knew what my word for this year would be...Reconnect.  Actually I turned it into the phrase disconnect and reconnect.

Disconnect more from the computer, the iphone, the television, all the distractions that are out there.

Reconnect more with my scrapbooking, card making, reading & writing, knitting, listening to music, photography, and in general with my crafty side.

It is amazing just how much more time you have and how much more you can accomplish when you are not constantly checking Facebook, Pinterest, e-mail etc. and then rushing to get other things done.

So stay tuned for a year of more creativity and in general just getting back to the things that I love doing.

So what's your one little word for the 2012?
