DIY Party Mom: Shindig Saturday Weekly Linky Party #38

If you've been reading a lot of blogs this week, you've seen the trend to come up with one word to define your goal for this year. I'm not sure who started it, but I know I LOVE the idea. (I think I discovered it was Ellie from Less cake More frosting!)

How much easier is it to remember one word that will help you remember all your goals?

I'm excited to give it a try this year.

The word that I chose to sum it all up is

BELIEVE

I will tell you a secret...I have a hard time recognizing my own talents and worth sometimes. I'm not sure where that particular trait came from, but it's alive and strong. I have a hard time acknowledging the things that I do to be "okay" or worth anything. When someone comments on the work that I do, my automatic response is to tell them it's not talent and it's not hard, it just takes the right tools.

I think that sells myself short.

Even typing that is hard to admit, but one of my goals this year is to believe more in myself, in my talents, in my work. In doing that, I can believe that my dreams will come true with hard work, faith, and hope.

To help myself do that, I've created a free printable to post in my display frame, but I've also taken a page from Erika at I Craft My Pants blog and added it as my iPhone wallpaper. This way, every time I pick up my phone I will see it and remember to Believe.

So what are your goals this year? Do you have any craft projects that you want to try? I can't wait to see what you do!

Show us your newest party or fun creations by sharing your favorite party themed craft, table scape, photo, favor, or whatever! I'm pretty flexible since just about everything can be used at a party...that's the great thing about us moms! We can see the potential in ANYTHING!

Linky Party Guidelines:

* Link up to your OWN project post, not just your blog, but your actual post. (We want to see it!)

*Grab a Shindig Saturday button for your post or blog page. (Hey, it benefits us all!)

*Stay and enjoy the party by visiting and commenting on other's projects. (It's fun to mix and mingle!)
