today

Last day of January….how are you doing on your To-Do list?  I'm moving like a snail on my self-imposed goals.  It's ok.  There is the real-life stuff we have to get done, then there are the things we kinda hope get done.  I saw this slogan in a magazine ad and it fueled my fire.  Turn To-Dos into Ta-Das.  How's that for motivation?

Maybe you don't have a To-Do list, but that shouldn't stop you from starting a Ta-Da list!

    I don’t have a To Do list but I might have to if I can turn it into TA DA – much better than new years resolutions.

    Love the switch…TA DA is much more my speed and TO DO, well… just makes me cringe. Love the journal pages Michelle… the new year is treating you well my friend.

    You’re still on my TO DO list… My blog about shapes is ready in my head for a week, but I hadn’t come round to take the pictures and make a post of it. It IS on my to do list for today so I can say TA DA to this project ( only momentarily, cause when I see where your shapes lead you to ! …)
    I also love your previous post with all the X’s and O’s ! A treat for the eye!

    I love this idea ! My life lately has been about all the to do’s that haven’t gotten done or have been done haphazardly and not with my usual zest for life. I think the idea of making it a TA-DA !!! list is so much better – Ta-da! I got that checked off my list ! Ta-da! I got dressed today !;-) Ta-da! I made a friend feel like I “get” her ! 😉 😉
    Love it ! Ta-da for all you do, Lovely Michelle !

    You burn through those Beautiful journal pages like an express train. How do you do it with 3 kids + husband + business +++++
    it’s awe-inspiring. In my World, “Ta-Da” is short for:
    TAngo DAncing….maybe THAT”s why I’m behind….

    Like Inge – I still have my “shapes” for the crusades in my head and figured since it was past Jan. I could let it slide (believe it or not that is my shape…) and not do it but I wanna do it. Do I sound like I am whining? Maybe it’s because I am. Seems between Thanksgiving and January I have been getting my ToDo list done by the skin of my teeth. I love your journal page! You are the best and just inspired me to do something…. So I’m now off to change the name of my to do to ta da! Brilliant.

    Hey Michelle,
    It’s Joanne from jury duty. I love your blog and have started a journal of my own. Also turned a few friends on to your site and they love it! It was great to meet you, I am inspired to create!

    I love the TaDa much better than ToDo, it’s so perfect! Maybe I can get Gary to carve a TaDa, betcha I can:) He’s catching on, spotting a great big flourish on a grocery bag just tonight, he put it off to the side saying what a great stamp it would make-and I agreed, adding that he could do that & I’d burn a stencil. Now that’s a TaDa!!

    A Ta-Da List. Well that is just plain brilliant. Brilliant I tell ya. I will be making one promptly.
    I reached your blog from Carin and am so glad that I did. I can’t wait to visit frequently. And I agree, Carin is a sacred soul.
