Word of the Year – 2013!

Happy New Year!!!!

Wow, have I missed chatting with you?  We had a fabulous Christmas with the kids and my parents. We also had an amazing time up in North Conway celebrating New Year’s Eve with 16 friends.  I’ll share some photos on Friday.  It was nice to have a bit of time off, but now I’m so excited to get back to blogging and a bunch of painting & DIY projects.

I’m not one for making New Year’s Resolutions.  I just don’t feel like a I can stick with limiting myself from something I enjoy.  But I love words and I love the idea of making a word your goal.

Last year my word was Creativity.  If you missed my post it is here.

The word Creativity really shaped my year, from starting my own Etsy shop in February to working on my own creations and then also getting the privilege to do many, many custom pieces for friends, family and clients.  I have so enjoyed breathing new life into old pieces of furniture and redoing some rooms.

My word for 2013 is Dream.

The boys and I had a bit of a slumber party at my parents place just after Christmas.  My parents live closer to the city and the planes fly over head on their final descent to Boston.  The boys absolutely love it.  They lay in the big bed cuddling each other watching these huge machines effortlessly sail across the night sky; much like dreams soaring through the dark.

As we get older it is so easy to lose sight of our dreams and this year I’m making this my word.  It just kind of seems right.

I’d love for you to share your Word of the Year here in a comment or at my Word of the Year link party this Sunday, January 6th.  All you have to do is simply link up your post or picture or leave a comment.

I would love to lift up all our hopes and dreams for 2013 together!
