How Listening to Others Can Make You a Better Person
I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.
Ernest Hemingway
What if I tell you that listening is much more important than speaking? Most people often forget that we have one mouth and two ears, which means we should listen twice as much as we speak. That way we will be able to connect with others on a spiritual level, not being driven by our egoistic instincts which make us speak without listening.
The world would be a better place if people listened to each other more. Thus communication will be real, everyone will say what they want and won’t keep it in their head, conflicts will lessen and people will refind their compassion.
Listening is an art, a way to other people’s heart, an effort requiring patience, sometimes a battle with yourself, and a skill you need to learn in…

New Packaging for the Wood Mount Stamp Sets
New packaging for wood-mounted stamps – thanks, SU!
Today is a two-post day. I can’t help myself – when I stumble across exciting news, I can’t always wait to share.
I just saw this video on Stampin’ Up!’s Youtube channel and had to share it with you. It’s a sneak peek at the new packaging for wood mount sets – starting May 31. Being the nerd that I am, I am beside myself with excitement over this storage solution. It is perfect, and I can’t wait to get my hands on these cases!
While I still collect many wood mount sets, I’ve started buying a lot of clear mounts because they are easier to store and take up less space. This new packaging will definitely make my clear mount / wood mount decision much more difficult when I am selecting sets.
I’m in love. What do you think?
Thanks for stopping by!

Such beautiful cards – great source of inspiration, too 🙂
Wow! For me, the year 2012 seemed to drop off a cliff in the last few weeks. Illnesses, injuries, health issues, and other surprises – for me as well as the children – have really slowed me down, not to mention the way the Holidays seem to take on a life of their own, when they finally arrive. Although we did have a good time and made some great memories with the children and with family and friends, I am really looking forward to a little ‘calm’ and recuperation in the first few weeks of the coming year.
In the spirit of wrapping up the year 2012, I’m posting my favorite cards from the year. It has been a fun year of creativity for me, with some good hits and some obvious misses, but with definite improvement overall, I believe.
In fact, I keep a spreadsheet of all the cards I’ve created…
