Happy 2016!

A new year means new beginnings....what that means probably varies from person to person and household to household!  It's important to take the time to reflect on the highs and lows of the previous year, as well as decide on plans for the year ahead.
If you are an avid papercrafter, it may be an ideal time to look at your stash and review what you have, what you need to use and how you'll use it!  No matter how large your craft room there's only so much you can possess and most of us like to buy more from time to time - so that makes it really important to plan and use your 'goodies' whenever the opportunity arises, or give away items you are sure you'll never use - plenty of kindy and childcare centres will be happy to receive your donations.
A good way to stay motivated is to stay connected with other crafty people - you can do this by reading blogs such as ours, browsing the internet (Pinterest and Youtube), reading magazines and books, checking facebook (make sure you 'like' Daisy Chain Scrapbooks!!) and by coming into the store regularly and seeing what's new, attending a class or workshop and getting to know other people in the area.
It's great to journal your plans, your goals and your dreams - start an inspiration board, or a gratitude journal or a  simple old - fashioned diary.
Whatever you decide, enjoy what you do, and don't wait til 'one day' start today and make it happen!
