My biggest resolution is to cherish every moment with our new daughter! She is such a delight and I want to savor every experience. (And also, when I'm allowed to exercise again, lose those pregnancy pounds :))

[Ann T]

My resolution is to not have my camera in front of my face so much and spend more time with the people I'm taking pictures of.

[Rhonda H]

To focus on my health so I can enjoy my family MORE! And have time for them and using a FAB new set of punches ! LOL!

[Michele Swanberg]

My New Year Resolutions are to be more organized, scrapbook more, get more fit, and to lower my cholesterol through diet and exercise. I've done it once before so I am confident that I can do it again! Happy New Year and thanks for the chance to win! That Knock Outs starter kit looks amazing!

[Janet B]

My resolution? Well, I don't usually have them. but I always have a general goal of making sure that life doesn't get in the way, and that I stop and smell the roses. I hope that counts.

[Gwen Lords]

One of the things I want to do this next year is improve my photography skills.

[Marcia Dehn-Nix]

My resolution is to find more time to exercise.

[tina phillips]

First of all, beautiful layout by Rahel Menig! One of my biggest New Year's Resolution is to read at least 30 books, but the Knock Out kit might interrupt that!

[Carole RB]

Super super giveaway!

My resolution for 2012 is just to do a little bit more; add a little extra effort in whatever I'm doing. That's all but it should go a long way....

Thanks for the opportunity to win this super blog candy!

Happy New Year!

[Mandi]

Exercise more work more on my business.

[Miriam Prantner]

What a great giveaway! This year I want to be less rigid about my scrapbooking...scrapping more what I want not necessarily what I think I should/the order I think it should be in.

[Allison Waken]

My New Years Resolution is to record more. My kids are growing SO fast and soon won't be so little. I want to record more of this time in their lives.

[Michelle P]

Of course there is the standard loose weight resolution, but this year I'd also like to find a way to simplify every aspect of my life.

[Barbara Staradumsky]

My resolution is to eat more and gain some weight! lol..it's a little funny. Most people want to lose..I so badly need to gain!
The other resolution, is to find a way to spend more time with my family. Since everyone is grown and live an hour away it's hard to fit in a time when everyone can be together. Somehow, ...Someway, we all need to put "family Time" at the top of our prioity list!
Happy Holidays!
