Spray painted cans waiting to be decorated.
Plastic rings waiting to be turned into Dorset buttons.
Little notebooks waiting to be altered, inspired by Jan's gift to me.
Yarn from a friend waiting to be turned into something wearable or usable.
New things to try.
You are full of wonderful possibilities. Do something with them. The most painful regrets, those which never go away, are regrets of things not done, things never attempted. ~ Ralph Marston

Tammy,
You have such a creative and calming spirit about you! I wish I could capture some of that creative energy that you exude...I also wish I could have some of your calming spirit ;-) Looking forward to seeing what you will create with all of those goodies!!!
love that quote...it's great.
I love this post! What a wonderful boost to a creative spirit that tends to get all caught up in the busy-ness of life {raising three boys and a husband} ♥ This blessed me.
love your post...love those buttons! Have a Happy New Year. So happy to have met you this year. Susan
I always love to think about the possibilities each new day holds for us. What a sense of freedom it is to be able to choose what we want to do on a given day. It looks like your day holds lots of interesting possibilities.
The quote you chose is just the perfect ending to an already inspiring post.
Looks like you have a creative and fun day planned. Enjoy all your projects and have a wonderful day. :-)
So glad to see you have a little time to craft...have a day of fun...and we'll wait here to see what you made....
Tammy, thank you for all your visits and your always sweet comments. I wish you and your family the very Best Year ever!! Look forward to seeing more of your creations, your trips and ......well, YOU!! Enjoy your day..... :) :)
Hi chicky! I see you have lots to keep you busy for a while. I have decided that next year everyone gets a home made gift instead of a store bought one... I need to get started. I was thinking pillows or blankets for all. We shall see what I come up with.
love ya!

....things never attempted. I think of that as I start on a new project and hope for God's blessing as I work on it.
Tammy I see some wonderful things about to be created. I can't wait for you to share them with us. Happy New Year.

What a wonderful post. So inspiring. Love the little altered notebook. They would make wonderful hostess gifts. Now to see if I have any little notebooks in my stash.
Happy New year.

A new year for new projects! Seems like your muse is in high-gear, Tammy! Look at all the fun projects you have lined up. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside!!!!
Like you, I need to have several going at the same time.
Looking forward to seeing YOUR finished projects. You are always an inspiration to me, too!

Tammy, thank you for the lovely quote, it is so true..enjoy your creative time..Happy New Year to you and loved ones..
So many great possibilities. Hope you make time to get them all done.
Hi Tammy....I have to say, I am enjoying this down time. It's been a rat race lately with the new baby and death of my daughter's mother in law, then the holidays.....so to have absolutely nothing to do is heaven. and of course there is always something to do!(like blog visiting). it looks like you have some fun projects in the works-post some pics when you are done!
hugs,
gail
Hello sweet lady....I must say you have inspired to get busy this year with the "artsy side of my Life. Can't wait to see what you come up with ...with all your little treasures.
Hugs,
Jo
Hi Tammy, thanks for your lovely comment-I hope you get some rain that does not cause you other problems :-)
Wow, you are so clever. It looks like you are going to have a creative fun day. The painted cans intrigue me..I wonder what you'll do with them?
Have a blessed day and a very happy New Year!
peace and joy in Christ..Trish
Dearest Tammy,
Those buttons are real simple pleasures; very impressive!
Oh, so many opportunities are awaiting us but it's the TIME that is lacking for carrying them all out...
Enjoy this happy ending of 2010!

Lots of creative goodies to play with there, Tammy. I love those Dorset buttons...you clever thing, you! Are they difficult to make?
Simple quote but very powerful.
Now that Christmas is packed away it is time to get crackin on some new projects! You've given me another little nudge in that direction Tammy, thanks!!
Hi Tammy,

Hugs,
Marie
Sending you ooooodles of hope...contentment...anticipation..promise and pure delight for 2011 my sweet sweet friend. xoxoxoxoxoxo
Now for the most painful part - trying to decide what to do first! Have fun Tammy. Diane
I love the decorated notebook! What a great gift idea. I am always looking for something new to make.
Yikes, Tammy. I'm going to be the 33rd commenter! Holy Smokes. Anyway, you are right. Each moment is filled with possibilities. It's up to us to make the most of them. Take care, Tammy. Keep up the good work! Susan
Thanks for sharing your joy. I appreciated the quote. I sometimes don't make the most of the 'now'.
Dear Tammy ... I'm always glad to see you at the Simple Pleasures party. This post really moved me. The simpleness and beauty of possibilities is something I'd never given much thought. Thanks for this gentle reminder.
LOVE this post! It really inspired me. I didn't do a simple pleasure this week, but I'm having such a great time reading them all!
All your crafting stuff looks wodnerful. I can't wait to see what you do with it all. I know it will be spectacular, just like you!!
XOXO
