I love fonts. I have well over 2,000 on my computer. I am such a fanatic. Even with that amount I keep buying more. I love clipart. I can't even imagine the number of clipart sets I've downloaded over the years. I've had to stop buying the really cutesy stuff because I can't use it on my resources. So it just sits there staring at me. Something I discovered about a year ago was Doodle Fonts. Be still my heart. I can have clipart that works like a font. SO IN LOVE! So of course when I found them, I had to buy them. It didn't matter if I was going to use them or not. They now live on my computer. Most of them do get used. Since I have a few and they work like fonts, I was having trouble knowing which one I wanted to use and which letter it was. The designers are great in that generally include an image of all the clips and what letter it corresponds to. But then I was having to go to the folder and open it up. I needed some organization and something that w......

Getting Ready for the New Year - Find Part 2 here and Part 3 here . Here are 5 tips to help you have a successful New Year. 1) Be organized. When you know where things are and have a somewhat clean space to work in, you'll be more likely to get things done. 2) Have a written plan. When you keep it all in your head, chances are you will forget something. It will also take more time to get going. Write out your plan the night before (if you just do a daily plan) or on Sunday (if you do a weekly plan). You will get more accomplished this way. If you are looking for a Seller Planner, you can find mine here . I've used and tweaked this planner for the last 5 or so years. 3) Get rid of distractions. Turn off the phone, the notifications, FB, email, the tv, etc. When you are focused on your task, more is accomplished. 4) Let perfectionism go.
