Good Intentions and Follow Through

I live a life filled with good intentions, but my follow through sometimes - well, truthfully many times - lags far behind my intentions. I've been intending to change. Really. Intending to send those cards to family and friends who I know would be blessed. Intending to get back into cooking and baking more. Intending to finish a few home projects that are near completion. Blah, blah, blah. Baby steps. That's what I need. Baby steps. Every little thing that I finish gives me more ammunition for those times I'm tempted to procrastinate. For every intention that becomes reality I am strengthened. So here is one of my intentions...finished! It only took 10 months. At the end of last summer I found the cutest diecut for a little cake box. Ever since that time I have thought and thought and thought about revamping it with paper and flowers and glitter and whatever else happened to strike my fancy. Well, a little swap with a few friends gave me the umphf I needed to launch ahead. This is my little "Best Wishes" cake slice box. Newly reformatted for your viewing pleasure. My new friend Natalea just received hers, and another friend, Melissa, will be receiving hers soon! Melfie, if you see this post, look away!!!! I've been toying with the idea of making these into a little kit with various papers and trims...hmmmmm.

And then there is the "Bits n Pieces" swap hosted by Jenny. Dozens of truly beautiful works of art were created. More intentions being fulfilled. Here is the one I sent to my partner, Jenny, and here is the one she sent me. Here's to this good day being filled with good intentions...and even better follow-through.
