New Year's Giveaway 2014

I resolve to get back to using to do lists. I imagine it looking something like this:

To Do List
1. Make a To Do List
2. Check off first thing on To Do list.
3. Realize you already have accomplished two things on your To Do list.
4. Reward yourself with a nap.

My New Years resolution is to stop eating baked goods!Goodbye pie, muffins, cookies, brownies, and cake; all my closest friends :(. I can’t get rid of bread altogether. So, baked goods is a good start. I’m also on a quest this year to find the perfect red and blue FP inks, not an easy task!

Resolution: Say “yes” more. Yes, I’ll accept that invitation. Yes, I can face that challenge. Yes, I’ll try that thing that scares me. Yes, I’ll have desert. Yes, I need more ink…

1. Collect more fountain pens
2. Collect more notebooks
3. Write more with them!!

My New Year’s resolutions are to do one good thing everyday and to find some perspective. And, of course, to catch up on my written correspondence. Happy 2014 everyone.

my new years resolution is to turn into a sloth so i can finally sleep for more than 7 hours a night…

My new years resolution is start using fountain pens. I don’t like ballpoints as they require pressure. I learnt how to write with a fountain pen and continued until I was 11. It will be good to get back to my roots and move forward with a part of my history.

Graduate from undergrad, read a hundred books, stop putting off fixing my clogged up Lamy.

Spend less on fast food and start packing lunches. Hopefully some of that saved up money will go towards new pens!

I’m gonna quit my day job and become a minister of holy penship! Damn! Wait! Can’t do that! I live in Quebec! (You know, the province with a CHARTE ;) )

My New Year’s resolution is to master calligraphy so I can write my Mamère and my Auntie handwritten notes. I wish to stay in touch with them more so I don’t lose another family member without staying in touch and showing them that I love them.

Twenty Thirteen had only been preparation for the uncertainties tomorrow. Therefore, my resolution is simple – that is, to live, not exist.

I rarely make New Year’s resolutions, because I’m not good at change. I have good intentions, but I have trouble following through. Instead of a life-changing resolution, this year I’m trying something completely different, and rather silly. I read an article on New Year’s Eve about “felfies,” farmers taking selfies with livestock, and it seemed like a cute idea. I’m a teacher, and a part-time farmer, but my husband farms full-time (and then some!), so he’s promised to help me with my resolution to tweet daily felfies … we’ll see how long this lasts …

New years resolution is to write ‘2013’ as ‘2014’ in all future correspondence!

My New Year’s resolution is to either: find a job and start working towards a career, or go back to school and continue my education. I’ve let a year go by idly, accomplishing nothing. Time to get back on track.

Happy New Year and all the best and warmest!

My new years resolution is to become a better student and complete the winter semester without dropping any of the courses (I’ve done this two times last year and I am dreadfully ashamed of myself). Hopefully I can be more organized this year.

:D Happy New Years! And may good things come to you guys in 2014!

I’m a loner and tend to be in my head too much, so this year I want to work on being more social. I want to meet new people with similar interests so I will be looking for fellow readers, movie-lovers, fountain pen geeks to hang out with. Of course, the usual resolutions to save more, eat better, lose weight, and exercise also apply.

By the way, my birthday is on the 9th so this would be a pretty sweet birthday gift.

Happy New Year!

My resolution is to read more books.

My New Year Resolution is to:
1 Enter the “New Year’s Giveaway 2014” contest
2. Win the “New Year’s Giveaway 2014” prize
3. Give the prize to my sister who is a fountain pen fanatic

Happy New Year and “Write on”!

This is year, I will write a letter each week and post it to a friend/family/associate or even an enemy ;) . At the end of each letter, I will recommend a combination of fountain pen and ink brand/Colour they should buy to write me back.

To write to my children in their journals, so when they older they might know how special they were to me.

I resolve to spend less, and in doing so, to live fuller. Thank you for this opportunity.

Just got a new puppy (Nov 21). My resolution is to make him a well trained and mannered retrieval trial champ. I love him so much.

Try my hand at building my own fountain pen case so as to save money which would enable me to purchase more fountain pens, ink and journals.

My New Year’s resolution is to do everything my wife asks me to do. …or to perfect the ability to lie with a straight face (how’m I doing so far?).

My New Years resolution is to stop drinking soda and start drinking more ink.

My New Years resolution is to stop drinking Soda and start drinking ink.

My resolution is to shop more at Wonderpens!

My New Year Resolution:
Accept that I will not beat my acquisition addiction and that I will continue to feed my fountain pen addiction!

I’m afraid my resolution isn’t outrageous in the least; it’s simply to dust off my cameras and get back into photography.

All the best to you in the New Year!

My resolution is to travel more often and wear more lipstick.

My New Year’s resolution is to write more letters.

One of my new year resolutions is to go see my friend play. His name is Orange and he’s a bassist.

Sketch with pen and ink(s)!

My resolution is to procrastinate less. Things just end up piling up and create a lot of unneeded stress. Happy New Year!

Resolution: Eat more fruit, try to stay more organized so the table doesn’t become a crap collection again!

My resolution is to be outside every single day, beyond getting to and from work, and enjoy this winter like I haven’t in years. I have ice skates ready!

My resolution this year is to try to stop complaining about everything. :)
It’s part of my job to criticize, however, when I come home, I have a hard time trying to stop criticize everything,

Perhaps not so much a resolution as a goal, but this year I am hoping to be accepted to the Michener Institute of Applied Health Sciences in your very own city of Toronto! Among many other smaller resolutions, that one is the big one. Should it succeed, you may notice a new out-of-town face dropping by later this year to stock up on Noodler’s 54th ink and few sturdy notebooks, all destined for laboratory notes…

Resist to temptations…use moderation in everything I do.
1-don’t go to the Soccer world cup…just watch the games.
2-don’t eat all the chocolate, just one piece a day.
3-don’t spend the whole free day on my hobbies…just 2 hours is enough.
4-don’t by more fine nib pens…try other sizes, practice calligraphy.
5-stop the resolutions at number 5…more than that becomes hard to stick to :)

My resolution is to spend less on pen, ink and paper…Nah! Who am I kidding? My resolution is to set up and organize a cupboard or permanent space to house and store even more pens, inks and paper. Now, that’s more like it!

As I mentioned on my blog today, my New Year’s Resolution is to “meet a Russian oligarch, get engaged with a twenty-carat diamond and platinum ring, get married in some crazy Russian church, walk around Moscow in a chinchilla coat all day, move into a house with a giant banya, spend the rest of my days in only-slightly-corrupt luxury.”

Tip of the hat Thank you sir.
+1 for handwritten notes.

My New Year’s resolution is to develop a secret writing script that only I can understand. My ‘skill’ at writing messy, near-unreadable cursive has already served me well, but I’m hoping on degradi – er, improving my writing even more so that I can communicate in secret. Hopefully my print will still be legible though ;)

First……I’m not going to settle for good enough or mediocre in everything I do, from my vocation, to my relationships. I owe everyone my very best. Second…I need to journal more, especially with my new fountain pens. Third…gotta look after me. Diet, exercise, rest, de-stress, the indulgences I take pleasure in. Happy New Year everyone.

I resolve to get better sleep, spend more time with friends, and spend more time with pen to paper.

With the imminent changes to the postal services that we’ve come to value and, perhaps take for granted, one of my New Year’s resolutions will be to increase the number of letters that I send by mail each month.

I will reach out to family & friends with my thoughts and feelings penned in cursive writing on classic stationery.

Thus, doing my part to keep both our letter mail services and the traditional cursive style of penmanship alive and well.

Happy 2014 !!!

Props to Linden, good luck with it all! Personally I had been writing regularly to my girlfriend too but using e-mails, and would love to start doing more handwritten letters this year :)
