It's well into January now. Many of you have shared your resolutions for this new year. I like that you're sharing them with me and with each other by linking here. It gives each of us ideas of other ways we can improve our lives when we learn what others are doing. I love the encouragement it provides. We had more links last week than we have had in several weeks. New people are joining each

This word comes up a lot in the blogging world.  What do you make of tribe?

Ukrainian Christmas with Carol and Horn.

News from Sister Onufria in Lviv, Ukraine.

This is called "Vetep",
a Ukrainian tradition.

The following clip is a Christmas carol from

Week #189 - 7th January - Bente's DT week sponsored by The Paper Shelter

A new year - and a new saturday, and I (Bente) have got the honor of introducing the first challenge for 2012.

I have got a fantastic sponsor for the challenge - The Paper Shelter - they have the most amazing digital images and also digital papers. And they are offering the winner a 20 $ gift certificate!!

Here's a little introduction to them.

"If you are looking for fun, cute and lovely digi stamps for your paper-crafting or web design projects, The Paper Shelter is your one-stop boutique! This growing catalog of high-quality digi stamps with many different kind of options offers a multitude of themes such as everyday items, holidays, special occasions, children, adorable characters and creatures. Stamps are available in standard black and white line art, as well as in pre-colored format. Images are wonderful for coloring and make perfect additions to greeting cards and scrapbook albums. In "The Paper Shelter" you'll also find great other resources for all crafts (or digital) projects, like Paper Packs, Printables, Accesory sheet, etc."
