new year | Got Joy Creations

Happy 2018 peeps!! I'm excited to be participating again in the Seasons Giving blog hop. Can you believe it's been six years already since the lovey Latisha started this blog hop? I honored to be able to participate again this year. But I have to say WOW 😮 where did 2017 go? Looking back it's been a rollercoaster of a ride. I've had some super exciting thrills of highs and some deeply worrisome lows however they were all worth the ride in order to grow and live. Living and learning is an experience that never gets old because it beats the alternative (death and misunderstanding). ☺️ I've learned that letting go of negativity takes time and enjoying silence can be scary. I've also learned to stop looking for the "right" version of me and to love me just the way I am. That can be difficult and enlightening all at the same time. And lastly... being KIND and true to yourself always wins.
I'm ending 2017 sipping champagne and bringing in the New Year with the love of my life. The man I loved ever since third grade. I managed to get in one last card and video before I said goodbye to 2017. I hope you enjoy it.

You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. I've linked all the supplies used for your convenience. Affiliate links were used at no cost to you.

Going into 2018 I'm doing what I always do, I'm going to embrace the possibilities, eat my traditional New Years meal of good luck and wealth (black eye peas and collard greens) and continue to be KIND no matter what life throws at me. So let's start off this blog hop with a little giveaway. I have one set of the Lawn Fawn How You Bean Conversation Heart Add On stamp set with matching die and one set of the Rawr stamp set and die to give away to one lucky winner. Please leave a comment below telling me what positive thoughts you will be bringing into 2018. You can also follow my Youtube and Instagram accounts for an extra entry. Giveaway closes on FRIDAY JANUARY 5 at 11:59 PM EST. (US residents only.) Winner will be announced Jan 8th. Good luck everyone.
