****This Giveaway has ended. Merci****
I love ringing in a “New Year”....not because I enjoy champagne toasts and parties (well, I like those too) but because it gives each of us the chance to “begin anew.” A new year offers up a clean slate....365 days of possibility...goal-realizing...dream-chasing and becoming more of the person you want to “be.”
I love ringing in a “New Year”....not because I enjoy champagne toasts and parties (well, I like those too) but because it gives each of us the chance to “begin anew.” A new year offers up a clean slate....365 days of possibility...goal-realizing...dream-chasing and becoming more of the person you want to “be.”
A new year also makes me think of my “one little word.” That ONE word that you choose to “live by” for the next year....that one.little.word that will guide you along the way to possibilities...goals...dreams.
My “one little word” for 2015 is...
“SIMPLIFY.”
There is a “calm” that comes with simplifying every aspect of ones life. I want to try to remember that this year. I also want to remember to look for the beauty that can be found in the “simple” things.
How bout’ you? What’s YOUR “one little word” for the New Year?
In honor of the “New Year” and all the possibilities that await each of us...I am offering up one of my newest Inspiration Holders....
“My One Little Word” collection...

Happy New Year, Michelle. Your wire words are wonderful and I thank you for the chance to win one. My one little word for this year is "calm". I've had a stressful year along with some health issues and have found that I need to slow down and chill out. So, I am going to work on being calm in all things. Sounds good ~ I hope I can manage it.
ReplyDeleteHappy new Year Michelle,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this wonderful Post.

Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteMy one word is "discipline." I want to eat healthier, spend less and have more control of the things I do in life. I like your word, "simplify." I'm planning on that too.

ReplyDeleteMy one little word for 2015 is family...going to try to cherish all of our moments together.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteAs 2014 comes to a close, I reflect back & am in awe by the amount of blessings that this year has brought me. With a new year on the horizon, i have chosen a "Word of the Year" for 2015 to focus my energy on & that word is: PRESENT. My personal goal is to be more present in each day. To be fully engaged in the very moment in which I am given. To watch the sun fall. To savor food more intensely. To learn an art. To stop and smell the roses. To make someone smile. To put the phone down and really listen. Often we are so busy making future plans that the present moment is gone before we have time to live it. The presence is all we have for we cannot relive the past nor for see the future. So, I guess this is also a resolution of some sort as well. I resolve to: be all there. Be present, live in the moment, + enjoy each day fully. #bepresent #wordoftheyear #bringonthenewyear 2⃣0⃣1⃣5⃣
Michelle, my "one" little words would be simplify as well. I try to simplify my life everyday. It really does give more meaning to my life....you know, without all the clutter in my head and in my home.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and may you simplify your life as well. It is so rewarding.
I'm with you on this one.... For the past two years I have wanted to simplify my home and life, but things got in the way. Now that I'm in a better position, I'm going to be working very hard at it. Love your Little Words -- thank you for offering this sweet giveaway. Happy new year, Michelle !
ReplyDeleteI am choosing NOW as my one little word. I want to live in the now. Do it now. Love now.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you!

I think my word will be Faith . I need to have more faith that things will work out for the better . Love the giveaway !
ReplyDeleteCathy Thompson
my little word is "breathe". taking time to be in the moment.
ReplyDeleteMy word for 2015 is MOMENTS. I hope to be looking for the special little moments that make life special, not ignoring them. I will be documenting them with daily photos and Pinterest and pocket page scrapbooking. I am currently looking for a way to remind me, in the past I have had jewellery, stones or words in frames to remind me of my Word. Haven't thought of anything for this year.
ReplyDeletePerhaps one of your Inspiration holders would be just the right thing.
Wishing you SIMPLICITY for the new year.
*Smiles*
Create. There are so many things that I want to make, finish, learn. I had so little studio time in 2014 due to choices and commitments that I made. This year will be different choices and learning to say "no".
ReplyDeleteBambi
"Be"...Just BE! Be Healthy, Be Calm, Be Kind, Be intentional, Be peaceful, BE ME!! without outside influence....just be me!
ReplyDeleteMy two fav gals.....all in one day!!! you two are something else!! (Rhonda that is!!)
Thank you for BEING YOU!
Susanne
My word would be Faith. I have a lot going on in my life and I have to have a strong Faith that God is going to answer my prayers. Thank you for the giveaway. I love your blog and read it everyday.
ReplyDeleteHow cute these are...you are so cleaver!
ReplyDeleteMy one word for 2015 is JOY. I have it posted in red on my refrigerator door. We can have joy even in doing the small things like doing dishes. What a blessing that I can wash dishes with warm/hot water and have our puppies playing at our feet while I do this. Joy is living in the moment soaking life in and have gratitude for this wonderful life. Love your blog and inspiration. Blessings, nancythedove@aol.com
ReplyDeleteLove your new word this year. Please put my name in the hat. I have been a follower for a very long time. Have a great New Year! Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteAll the words already shared resonate with me, however "faith" is the first word that came to mind.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to have found your blog, as my family is french. My word for the year is "embrace". Cancer is rearing it's ugly head for 2 dear friends at the moment, and I just learned today a classmate has lost her battle. I am reminded to embrace my loved ones more and more, and to let go of the things that do not matter; to take time to reflect on my blessings, and to embrace each day for whatever it has to offer, no matter how small. I look forward to following your blog in the new year.
ReplyDeleteMy word for the year is "Joy", so often we forget to stop and smile an enjoy the moment. So every time I am laughing I stop to remind myself that this moment is what joy is all about.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity, these are beautiful.
My word this year is to embrace... embrace and be in every moment, embrace my new role as mom to older kids, embrace and let me family and friends know just how much they mean to me. Thank you for the opportunity to win one of our gorgeous creations. Wishing you a wonderful new year!
ReplyDeleteToday is a great day; I just stumbled upon your blog and now I'm reading past entries. I also started following you via bloglovin (which is also brand new to me)
ReplyDeleteMy word for this year is "now". My grandmother passed recently in a tragic car accident. I realized we only have now to enjoy; to celebrate; to love; to enjoy; to be in the moment -- we only have "NOW". I want to embrace that word this year. Holders are beautiful. Thanks for hosting a great giveaway.
Ooh, how fun...my one little word for the new year is "embrace". Embrace your life, embrace your flaws, embrace your decisions. There is only one "you" and the world is happy to know you.
ReplyDeleteYou know I adore your holders....so beautiful. xoxoxoxoxoxo
Happy New Year Michelle! My word for 2015 is Faith. I have a post about it on my site but this word resonates so many things to me ~ hope, letting go, peace. It's one word but holds so many others deep inside! Blessings to you in the new year. . .
ReplyDeleteI love picking a new word for the year as it keeps me focused and at the end of the year I love to review life experiences and see how my 'word' is woven into each event. I had already picked 'Redeeming' as my word for 2015- I love adding 'ing' to my words as it represents the ongoing nature of the word. This year began with a bad fall injuring both knees with major surgery and long recovery period. I am so glad I already had my word picked as I definitely seem redeeming in the little things each day.
ReplyDeleteMany wishes of joy for the New Year!!! My word for this year is OPEN. I want to be open to new possibilities, open to different view points, open to new friendships , open to accepting whatever path lies before me. I tend to be very set in my ways and become very anxious over change, but i am determined to really focus on being OPEN to everything this year!
ReplyDeleteDear Michelle: Happy New Year! My word for this year is Joy because I will need it to deal with all the health issues of my sons. It will be a tough year but with Joy I can face anything!
ReplyDeleteVerónica
Though it's not a very pretty sounding word,"Reach " is what I am going to strive for in 2015. To reach inward to find strength when my Dad passes from cancer very soon. To reach outside of my comfort zone and fly to anywhere my heart wants to take me. To reach my goal of having a venue to sell all my little creations and collections that are in the "waiting room" otherwise known as the attic!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason (or perhaps many reasons) time has run away from me and I'm at a standstill...even in choosing my one little word. But I do feel the word FAITH calling me so perhaps that's it 😊.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year and best wishes on achieving all of your dreams and wishes in the new year.
Abby
P. S. I Had trouble posting my comment so you may see it twice.
Oh Michelle, you sure know how to start out the New Year! With beauty that inspires.
ReplyDeleteLove your holders, and have taken notice where ever they are featured.
Words never escape us when it's one that holds dear to meaning. I have not picked a special word, or path this year, I am just going to let each day inspire something in and out of me that I can pay forward.
My New Year has started off rough, I am down with this virus/cold and have been sick, sick, sick with a horrific cough!!
I am looking to the year in as much as creating a life well lived, simple beauty of old, and all that it inspires from me.
Thank you Michelle, for your faithful visits, and better yet all the beauty you inspire.
See you soon
Xoxo
Dore
These are lovely Michelle!
ReplyDeleteI think my word for this year (at the moment) is "change"!
Explore is my word for the year.....
ReplyDeleteall I think I can do...
all I know I can do .....
and all the in between......
Your words and work are always lovely...
I look forward to another year of treats.....
My word for 2015 is FAITH. With circumstances already in progress, The Lord has chosen this word for me and already has begun to incorporate into my daily life. It is a hard word for me in that I suffer from depression, i am a control freak and I am chronic worrier (just to name a few). I may have to make it my word for the decade since there are so many areas of my life that this will cover.
ReplyDeleteMy word for this year is ENJOY...I sometimes spend way to much time working on goals and getting things done. I need take more time to just enjoy life...go camping , take a Sunday drive, craft more. Not always put my chores before my fun!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for offering this fun giveaway and I do hope you get to simplify and enjoy 2015!
Denise
Michelle my word is Prayer. What would I do without it? Jo
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I almost missed this one! My word for this year is 'DO'. I really need to start doing instead of just thinking about doing things.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice way to start the new year, with such a lovely giveaway. Your word inspiration holders are amazing.
Simplify, was my word or goal last year. I might have failed.lOL. So this year it is HOPE to succeed. love,love
ReplyDeleteMy word this year is healing. Illness has really hit home here. I am trusting God for healing. Please enter me in your give away. I would love to own one. Sending blessings your way, Martha
ReplyDeleteI have been a follower for a long time. Thanks
Serenity
ReplyDeleteMy first initial thought was Faith, but happily so many have chosen it. After much thought, it must be America. America, the land of the free and the brave. Freedom to wave our flag and freedom to worship our Lord and Savior!
ReplyDeleteI often think of my need for COMPASSION, which also includes the traits of humility and simplicity, forgiveness and charity...
ReplyDeleteMy word for 2015 is 'grow'. Age is just a number, I want to grow in my walk with the Lord, grow in my friendships, grow in my creativity, as it's never too late. I'm so inspired by your blog, I enjoy grabbing my cup of coffee and feel like I'm spending time with a dear friend. thank you!
ReplyDeleteFAITH, I live by it!
