It has been a long time since the last giveaway... so to kick off this new year, one of my desk calendars is up for grabs (I am waving my Vanna White hands around the calendar now, just to make it that much more enticing).Enter to win by posting a comment telling me one of your New Year's resolutions, or even better yet, one of your past resolutions that was a success, or perhaps one that was totally broken. Are you promising to build a larger craft empire (mwahahaha), did you promise to watch less TV and never looked back (in which case, you didn't get that Vanna White reference I made earlier), or did you vow to lose 10 lbs and find yourself downing some fried chicken (uh, i've done that one... but it was a small piece). Post your comment and you could be the winner!
A random draw will be made next Wednesday (January 12th), so check back to see if you win! Please remember to include some sort of contact info (etsy shop, blog, website, or e.mail address) and please only one entry per person. Good luck!

My resolution is to dance more often! At home with the blinds closed, at parties, on the street with a couple of friends so that I don't seem completely crazy... anything. It's too fun not to. :)

Squee! Such a cute calendar. ^_^
Every year my resolution is to have better posture... and every year I fail -_-; Still slouching, I'm afraid!

last year I wanted to be more creative, set aside time to make things and I followed through... so much so that I became so creative that we started making a Bean somewhere in there. 21 days to go and she's baked.

i'm not a huge resolutions person, but one of my goals is to start doing yoga again, which i totally failed at last year.

Moooooore yoga. I need to get into some kind of shape this year. I also want to double last year's Etsy sales!

I really don't ever do New Years resolutions but it just so happens that my training for my first 1/2 marathon started on the 2nd... so I guess i can consider that my new years resolution! loooove the calendar by the way, my fingers are crossed!
I'm resolving to work less & have more "me" time! Stay healthy and happy all year long. :)
last year I resolved to lose wait before my next Dr.s visits, but ended up gaining two pounds...humiliating!
this year i'm vowing to become more organized. it's going to happen - i swear! :D
This year will be the year I finish my craft room I swear....I also swear this has not been my resolution for the last two years ;)

I LOVE your desk calendars! I gave one to my friend last year for Christmas :) Well...it was 2009, so I guess it was last last year.
One of my resolutions is to be more conscious of how I spend my money so I don't blow it all in the first week I get paid :)
Happy New Year!

My resolution for this year is to stop worrying about what other people think about me, my family, my parenting, etc. People can be so judgmental and I worry about it too much! But I am determined to stop caring about people's opinions. Wish me luck!
Oh I want this soooooo bad. Your desk calendar is fabulous! I don't generally make resolutions, but last year I really wanted to learn silver jewelry making and I did it! So much that I'm no longer taking the classes and am in the process of setting up at home! I already have a torch and a saw!

Oh in love with this desk calendar! I work at the courthouse so this would brighten an otherwise dreary and somewhat depressing atmosphere. I swore to quit smoking and have not even wanted to have so much as a puff since midnight NYE. I know it's only been six days but I feel quite proud.
great giveaway!
last year I made a resolution to quit my day job and focus on what I love most and since I did quit last January, I've never looked back. I'm less stressed, more present in the moment and happier (which makes my guy happier too) :)
I have resolved to actually finish project that I start! That means cleaning house more, writing every day, and working on my etsy shop. Whew!
new years resolution for the 3rd year in a row...get to know my sewing machine better!! and paint my damn living room properly and not leave chunks of the old color randomly :/
one of my resolutions is to read the Bible more regularly
stanech at gmail dot com
my new year's resolution was to stop complaining. man, i hate new year's resolutions... ;)
hehehe, I can't believe you know Coco cupcake lady too! Not fair ;)
well as far as your magical calendar goes... this year I am rather corporately and boring deciding to be ORGANISED!!! wall planners, lists, deadlines and timelines are the go so that I have more time to pursue my passions, and get all the creative things I'm dying to do, done!!
I am already feeling more organised and on schedule so so far so good...
thea.

I am resolving to prepare for the holiday shows in the summer! We'll see, it is so very hard to be motivated.
My one and only resolution... stop procrastinating. It is so easy for me to get sucked into my favorite blogs, Etsy, etc. and spend way longer than I should just browsing around. Before you know it half the day is gone and you're still in your jammies. But I've never done that. *whistles* ;)

This year I am taking up yoga!

One resolution is to only finish books I actually enjoy reading. I feel like a failure if I don't finish the whole thing, even if I hate it :(
BTW, I <3 <3 <3 your orange organizer! I've been lusting for one for a while now.
My resolution is pretty much always to exercise regularly and I pretty much always last the first three weeks.
Adorable calendar!!
my resolution was to blog regularly last year and i did it. =D

My 2010 resolution was to watch less TV and I did!:) one of this year resolutions is no TV at all:D
I really love that calander, and I could really use one too.
I have to admit, I dont usually make resolutions, and the real reason is because I cant think of a single one I have kept.
I do have some goals this year, one is to blog regularly, another is to incorporate more hand sewn items into my store.
My resolution is to open up a etsy store selling vintage goods and handmade card. Great giveaway fingers crossed. Helen

My resolution is to focus more on my photography business and turn it into my full time job. That calendar is too cute :)

My resolution every year is to de-clutter and get organized. The problem is that I'm a pack rat! Plus, how do you de-clutter when you're a crafter? We need all that stuff for when inspiration strikes!

A past new years resolution was not to miss a single class... I am currently finishing up my senior year at a private Christian school. I finally realized the amount of money that is thrown away when I do not go... So glad I stuck to it!
Heres to finishing up my last semester!

I past resolution was the oh-so-popular "lose weight and get healthy", which I actually succeeded with. I dropped 20 pounds and have kept it off for years now. I get really proud of myself for actually sticking with a commitment that so many leave behind after a few weeks. Exercise and eating healthy are things I truly enjoy now. Cheers to you and this amazing giveaway! I would have wanted it even without the Vanna hands!

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to be more positive about my school program. I was getting to a point where I was acting like a big downer all the time. I'm trying to be excited and motivated to finish things off with a bang! Love this calendar, by the way!

Oh my! I love the way that calendar is displayed! That pencil holder is great too :)
My resolutions this year involve being more body conscious & body positive. I have always thought myself beautiful but lately I've seen myself slipping a bit into a not so nice body attitude.
my goal last year was to lose weight because i had been hospitalized and put on weight. as of one year ago, i've lost over 30 pounds! i'm very happy! :)

My resolution: to focus a bit more on things that make me happy! So far, it's going well, but it is definitely hard to find the time!!
i followed your blog, please follow mine! thanks!
My New Years resolution is to be the best girlfriend I can be to my boyfriend as he is going through detox and aftercare ... many many miles away. I want to be as understanding as possible, which is hard because it's so easy to be selfish and say, 'just say home!'
