Comments are better glimpses since I actual get to read what you like or what you want or what strikes you as funny or what awesome idea you have... but too many of you don't like to leave them. How about making that one of your New Year resolutions? Leave a blogger a comment - once a week. That really isn't a hard one - bet you could even keep it until February or so...
I know some people are really serious about their resolutions. I went to a party in December a few years ago and met a woman who had given up chocolate as her resolution and she had KEPT IT! Seriously, this girl had eaten no chocolate for 11 1/2 months. Of course she was a tiny little thing and obviously already had plenty of self discipline but SERIOUSLY? No chocolate all year? I share this story so you will realize that resolving to leave blog comments is a very reasonable plan.
Me? I think resolving to improve ourselves or our homes or our world is fabulous BUT I'm not hung up on timing my resolutions with the start of a new year. I prefer to think of each day as a new start. And sometimes, while dieting, daily won't do - I have to take things one meal at a time. I have a weight loss bet with one of hubby's best friends - who can lose the most (% loss) in one year. I should have mine off before then, but the year he wants to lose his weight will make me work at keeping mine off. Dec. 26 next year will be our weigh in.
Whatever you decide about New Year resolutions I hope you will come visit Blinkin' Thinkin' & Inkin on a regular basis this next year, bring your silly heart, order some punches from your SU demo (or me) and have MUCH fun as we keep on playing with colored paper!
Stay safe with all those party people on the roads Thursday night!
Good bye to 2009
Talk to you next year...

I look forward every morning to see what you have posted. I have used some of your creations for a "Just Punch Art Class". It was loved by everyone and they wanted to know when I was offering another one. I guess I better get busy in the New Year:) Thanks for sharing your talent of how to look at the punches in a new and exciting way. You keep me laughing. May the New Year bring you many goo d things into your life!
You are awesome with those punches! I especially like the dwarfs and will have to work on those as my 2 year old granddaughter is into Snow White and her dwarfs right now! Thanks so much for sharing and have a great New Year!

I visit your blog every day, as well and I think you are AWESOME with those punches! I look forward to see what you come up with next..Thanks for sharing your talent with those of us, who are not so "talented"!
Hi Ellen,
I was on Splitcoast last week before Christmas and the UPS Santa popped up on newly uploaded. I called my friend in NM immediately as her son and husband are UPS guys and she dabbles in SU. Seeing that made me come back to it yesterday and I eventually made it to your blog. I spent ALL DAY catching up from your beginning! I have collected punches along the way as a demonstrator but your ideas made me put all of them on my wish list! Keep doing what you are doing and we'll keep posting comments!!

Love U Ellen!!!
Ellen, I LOVE your New Year's baby and Father Time! I'm going use these for my New Year's scrapbooking! A very Happy New Year to you and yours!
Happy New Year. I love visiting your blog and lots of others every day. I don't always leave a comment but do think of you and love everything you make. My New Year's Goals are to stamp more, to enter at least one challenge a month (gotta start somewhere), make and send all my own Christmas cards for 2010. I think these are all good goals and attainable.

Well, you know I will be here, no matter what. Even if I didn't enjoy your blog so much, I would be here as that's what friends are for.
Father Time is amazing! so much work put into that one. The lantern is so perfect, too.
Hugs and Happy New Year to you and the family.
