“I really can't say its a just for the new year but more like the whole year "Resolution" and what am I resolving is just to become a better "me", learn to love "me" so I can let myself be loved. Aside of being creative and crafting 24/7, probably enjoy crafting with other. Making accessories, and gifts, stuff that people will love and just can't get enough of. And actually letting myself enjoy life and loving every minute of it without letting any body put me down or dictate how I should feel, do or say. Or care what they say. New year's resolution be a better me a better "Crafty Me!"”

“My New Years resolution for 2013 is to stop making resolution's because I never follow through. But in all honesty this year I'd like; to find myself a full time job, craft more, go back to college/follow my dream of being a makeup artist, keep a clean home, help my step daughter through school, move into a better neighborhood, make some new friends and hang out more with the ones I have, have a better relationship with my husband, and to be happy just being who I am instead of trying to fit the cookie cutter. ”

“1) Create more. I didn't have the opportunity to spend much time with my beads last year. and I resent that. The more weeks go by without a finished project, the less little me likes my self or my life. So, I've set up a space in the empty bedroom. The boys aren't allowed in. So far, so fun!
2) Get myself an internship somewhere. It really is that big of a deal.
3) Play with my puppy. I got my puppy, I'm darn well gonna play with her!”

“One of my Ne Years Resolutions is to lose weight, just like everyone in the world "claims" they're going to do. And once THAT fails I'm going to switch to my back up resolutions. One is to figure out what I want to do with my life, I'm in my first year of college and have NO idea what career path I want to take, to give me that added security so I'm not wasting my time OR money. My other back up resolution i to "try" and finish at least one of the multiple books I've started writing and never finished and maybe take that next step to eventually getting published and make that my 2014 new years reolution.”
“My New Year's resolution is to start learning how to craft baby things!! I'm pregant and want to do what my mother did for me. She made all my baby clothes when I was an infant and they were so beautiful and unique; I want to do it for my child. It also gives me a chance to use my brand new sewing machine that I got for Christmas. ”
”
“My resolution is to create a permanent space within my home to work on my crafting - my Good Stuff is stashed in containers stacked to the ceiling in the basement, impossible to retrieve when inspiration strikes. Unacceptable!”
“My resolution is to stop making resolutions because I never seem to keep them. Too much pressure!!!! I seem to do better learning a new craft, like how to Knook, or lose weight, or cut down on junk food, all by myself, no resolutions attached. The minute I attach a "New Years Resolution" to something, it seems to be doomed. I'd love to win one of these boxes since I'm guessing it may be Easter themed. That would be fun.”
“My new year's resolution is to finally learn to play guitar like a pro and write a song. Or atleast the melody for it. Learn as much new things as I can. As I have known crafts since childhood, and I wasn't really connected with music before, I was kind of scared to start learning guitar playing last year. I wasn't sure what others might think about me, but now everyone thinks it's just normal.
Never be afraid to try something new!”

“I made two New Years Resolutions, which I've never really made resolutions before. One is to complete a 365 day Photo challenge. I've managed to do monthly challenges but never a year challenge. Another resolution is to focus more on bettering myself this year via weight, personal health, and emotion strength. At the end of last year I had lost 15 lbs. I want to reach my goal weight and be healthier at the least ”

“Learn to hula hoop so that by summer I can be more coordinated and less shy about performing in front of people. I've made my own hoops from stuff found at hardware stores and have even gifted some to friends, so that should be +1 confidence per hoop hahaha.

“An important resolution for me for 2013 is to gather up and organize all my art supplies and craft materials in a functional,fantastical, craft corner in my basement using only the stuff I have as I have no budget for creating my dream craft room.

“my new year's resolution is to create more, and actually execute some of the ideas i've been saving up. also, i need to get my Crap Room, i mean, my Craft Room cleaned out and organized so that i can actually create in there.”
“One of my New Year's resolutions is to not only organize my crafting supplies, but to fill in the empty spots. Nothing stifles creativity like getting halfway through a project and realizing you never got around to replacing that bottle of Mod Podge or whatever other crafting staple is no longer in your stash. Sometimes coming up with workarounds is a great way to discover new craft methods, but this year I hope to spend more time crafting and less time staring a a bag of wrong supplies trying to puzzle out how to substitute!”
“My New Years resolution is to stop saving my super special crafty supplies and start using them. Even if I use them up. Because I think that even though they look very pretty on the shelves, they would look even prettier used in projects! No more hoarding! ”
“sleep early to have more energy”
“THIS IS SO GREAT. My New Year's Resolution is to simply go wherever I can! I plan on going to at least five concerts this year (of my favorite bands, of course), New Orleans (a place I've been DYING to see my entire life), and a new Harry Potter convention (which is actually kind of a summer camp, another thing I've never done). It's all very exciting and new and I can't wait to discover it all.”

“My New Years Resolution is to not let school consume all my time, yes it is important but last year it stressed me out so much i was always sick. I will make time to have fun and craft more often.”
“My new years resolution is to be adventurous. This is my last year in high school, I'm about to move on to college, and I haven't really taken advantage of my youth. It's gonna be tough for me because I'm the kind of person that coops themselves up within their own limitations, but I made myself a shrink plastic to remind myself everyday of my resolution.”
“My New Year Resolution is to try to get out and do more things with my friends and to try to volunteer and become more responsible for things in my life that I really care about!”
”
“At first I thought: I'm not going to have any resolutions this year. Then I found out that sticking to the 'old' me and habits will not help me getting more 'ups'. So this year I have to put things straight with myself. I have to make list of the things that are important to do, like graduating, and things that are not important which consume most of my time like the internet and social media. If I do the important things first and efficient, I will have much more time for stuff I really really like, so instead of looking to crafts, crafting and instead of looking to beautiful places, visit beautiful places. If I do not graduate, I know I have done my best, so I will find peace with it and try it again.
I certainly not going to make any resolutions that have anything to do with food or weight :p, Happy New Year!”

“For the past few years, my New Year's Resolutions have...failed miserably. As such, this year I have resolved to be myself, and to love every minute. I will not change myself, nor force myself to be constricted by societal norms, rather I will be a more 'saturated' and 'vibrant' me. I resolve to trust myself.
