"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves.
The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day."
~Edith Lovejoy Pierce
What are you hoping your book of 2011 will hold?
Please share!
What am I hoping for 2011?
Creativity, self acceptance, love, success, stability and if God wishes another baby.
Thanks for asking, I hadn’t really thought about it and it feels good to write it down and pout it “out” there.
I want to say thank you for the 12 days giveaway I love the crown I won and put it right where I can admire it everyday. The women you featured are all so creative!
I am having a giveaway on my blog for a jewelry easel I made and a necklace I made, I would love if you would stop by: http://formysweetdaughter.blogspot.com/2010/12/for-my-sweet-daughter-2010.html

In 2011, I will launch my website, return to Art Journaling and organize the mountains of memorabilia that was passed down from my mom. Happy New Year to you!
In my book health and happiness for all! New goals to be reached, new techniques to try, and marketing to be made. I must say that organizing will again be a target. Fun and more fun to be had with CREATING!

Love this, and love the journal… I especially love the thought that the pages are blank and that there is a moment in the new year when we get to stay to ourselves, we are co creators in what happens next… I love that.
Health and some fun with my crazy family! :)
Happy New year!!!

I hope my 2011 book holds many fun and happy blog posts about my beautiful family, wonderful recipes, and lots of crochet and cross-stitched projects.
My ability to push myself even more. To open my heart to creativity where I can feel my soul and that I know what I am doing is right… I know it’s there; but it’s the getting over the hurdles of the ‘maybe I can’ts” to the “yes I can’s.”
Opportunity – I love that! Still contemplating aspirations for the year…
Good new year morning to all! I posted a blog about my goals for the new year, my hopes….that my Faith in the Lord strengthen; that I show Gratitude to those who have cared for me these past years; and that I will learn how to better Forgive. Thank you WWC for giving us a venue to speak and create and be! Well wishes in the new year! Margo
I’m hoping my book will be full of joy, love, happiness and good health for me and all those I love.
This is not a new book, but a new chapter in my families life, so I have selected a word and phrase for 2011. This year will mark my husband and I turning 50, my twin boys graduating from high school, and my daughters finishing middle school. So, I know it will be full of many opportunities, changes, and some painful growing experiences. Here’s to life and 2011!!!!! susan
I hope that I will continue to grow and learn in the world of creating and blogging. Most important that I will follow God’s lead in what ever I pursue this year. Your blog and magazines are an inspiration to me.
I just hope and wish for the best for everyone. I hope people are happier this year, feel more secure and of course bubbling over with creativity! I look forward to what this year has to bring. I feel unstoppable. Happy 2011! – Amy
Wow!! What a question.
I want my book to be filled with the pictures and quotes and achievements of a confident, healthy, happy woman.
Happy New Year!!

I want my book to be filled with more time with family so that I can write, draw, photograph and fill it with memory makers. Let the chapters begin.
Happy Year Anew.
Kindest regards,
Barbara
My book will be filled with all things to achieve inner peace for myself: creativity, meditation, movement, spirituality and working toward a healthy lifestyle.
I also want health and happiness for all!
Thanks for asking.
Happy New Year Everyone!
Creatively I hope to continue working in my studio more and submitting my work to magazines (especially Stampington & Co). Spiritually I hope to connect on a deeper level with God and my faith. And lastly I hope to continue nurturing my most treasured roles in life as a mom and wife.
Happy New Year!

My book (an old journal that I have repurposed) will be chock full of receipts/notations of all the fun vintage finds that I discover for my shop!
I pray 2011 is filled with stronger true Americans with hearts full of old-fashioned SELF-reliance that fosters INDIVIDUAL creativity, not collectivism and control. America’s continued exceptional success depends on our God centered out-of-the-box thinking aka creativity, and that same creativity is why IDEAS start here for inventions, entrepreneurship, and art! I’d like my Book of Opportunity pages to open showing our own business growing as well as more unfettered successes for other local entrepreneurs, and “yes-we-can” changed to “Yes, I Can!”
Happy New Year to all too! I’m hoping for peace (for myself and the world), contentment and balance. Simplicity.
Blessings,
Diane
New goals to be reached, new techniques to try, and marketing to be made.Happy New Year to all.I hope to continue nurturing my most treasured roles in life as a mom and wife.
Happy New Year, what a wonderful words, picture and reminder!

2011….A new year with more structure yet more fun! Time set aside to create and lose myself in the process. Living each moment, and by capturing the memories, REliving each moment. Thanks for the opportunity!
What a lovely quote with such a thoughtful sentiment!
Happy New Year, to you n’ yours~
I hope that my book for 2011 reads like a map. Of my ever expanding comfort zone. For me 2011 is not going to be about going OUTSIDE of my comfort zone as much as INCREASING it.
