Update: Congratulations to bookscout27, the winner of this book!>
Don’t worry – the massive design-tweaking going on around here will not stop the flow of giveaways this week!
Today’s prize up for grabs is a copy of Enchanted Adornments, by Cynthia Thornton. It’s part mixed-media jewelry book, and part fairy tale.
There are 20 projects, covering a wide range of techniques and styles. And interspersed with them, you’ll find hand-lettered chapters of a charming narrative that follows Cynthia as she makes these designs.
(In fact, you might enjoy this video, and the preview here (scroll down).

What one thing would you like to do less of in 2010?
I’ll draw a winner Sunday, January 3. International readers, heck yeah! Good luck, everyone!
Less eating,
I'd like to yell at the kids less – I mention that because my oldest just got into this huge jewelry kick and if this book came to our house – it would go to her =)
I need to eat less of the wrong kinds of food.

Ooo, nice! I'd like to do less job hunting, preferably because I'd like to find a job. Also, less thinking about projects and more actually doing them. I'm bad about that one.
I'd like to do LESS talking and more listening!!
Oh and less sleeping-in-and-being-late-for-work-ness.
There are millions of things I would like to do less of in 2010. But, I guess the one big one would be complain. I do that all to often and I don't need to. Being grateful is far better!
I would like to do less unhealthy eating. I really want to work on going vegetarian and eating more healthy foods.
Being scared. As a brand new mom I am scared all the time. Scared about pooping, crying, feeding…the whole gamut. I'd love to replace my new found fears with a little confidence.
In 2010, I'd like to use the word “CAN'T” less. In fact, any variation of that would work as well: won't, don't, wouldn't, couldn't . . .Just take them all out of my vocabulary and just DO and BE. That's be GREAT!!
I would love to spend less money and have less debt in 2010!
I’m enchanted!
I’d like to do less nothing. More doing *something* and less doing nothing at all!! :)
I'm hoping to spend less time goofing off on the interwebs.
I'd like to lose my temper less. I want to be one of those cool, collected moms.
I'd like to do less following “ohh–pretty-shiny” impulses and more working with what I have (AND I do happen have many items this yummy looking book seems to utilize :) )
I would like to stop worrying about what might spoil the happy moment I may be in the midst of, so I can enjoy each second of living! It's difficult to let go enough to immerse myself in fun because I'm always expecting the other shoe to drop, so to speak.
One thing I would like to do less of in 2010 is procrastinate! I always put off un-enjoyable things and drag them out longer than they need to be. There is no reason for me to to make it worse than it is when I can just focus and get it over with, and move on to something I do enjoy, like crafting!
Less doubting, less worrying! Maybe even less thinking, because too much thinking often leads to unnecessary doubting and worrying.

I don't need anymore pencils, so I don't want to buy any in 2010. Actually I want to buy as little pencils as possible for a few years
'09 was a seriously worry-filled year for me. I would very much like to worry less in 2010! (Of course, this will require some hard work on my part, since some of '09's worrying was my own darned fault!)
Thanks!
I’d like to do less sitting and more exercising.
One word…PROCRASTINATION!
ROCKIN new look, baby!
What I'd like to do less of… hmmm….
I'd like to do less eating. As for art and craft, the same amount, if not more!
I would like to worry less in 2010. What's going to happen, is going to happen
Less complaining about not having enough time!
Oh where to start I want to eat less, complain less, sit on my behind less,smile more,craft more,etc….. you get the idea I am sure, aren't we all in the same boat!!!
work
Less Facebook!
One thing I would like to do less of in 2010 is spend money. I know everyone is in a financial bind, but for me, it’s because I have way too much craft supplies. I could be locked in my home and entertain myself literally for months. I want to focus on using what I do have and finding new ways of doing so. For that to happen, I need to stop shopping.
I would like to spend less time on the computer and more time making things.
Hi , I'd like to stress less about what I am supposed to be doing. Sometimes somuch tme is wasted justfiguring out what I should do with my time (limited though it is)
I like the new web page look!
Ann
id like to eat out less often. Id also like to stop procrastinating – when i get an idea, i should jump right in!
Thank you for the chance.
Less planning and more action, definitely. Every thing I put off doing out of fear of failure is a decision delayed and an opportunity lost. Time to get up/out/active and live life more.
Less stewing and grumbling. I just need to get a new attitude and move forward. I'm a cheerful person and it's about time to show it a little more. Cute new header!
I would like to spend less time worrying about transient problems.
I'd like to complete some long neglected cross stitches and not let another year go by with them half or over half finished. The new layout is great!
Stalling. I'd like to be more proactive. Less dreaming and more doing!
I'd like to move less.
I'd like to do less worrying about what people think of me and finally learn to trust my own inner voice.
I would love to eat less. Plain and simple – just eat less and get healthy!
I would like to worry less about my family.
A good question! I'd like to do less procrastinating – [and less eating!]
I do not do jewelry, so don't enter me in this one, but I thought I would answer this easy question. Less house cleaning of course.
Debbie
I definitely want to sit in front of the computer less and spend the found time in my sewing/craft room.
Claire
I would like to look over my shoulder watching for that other shoe ready to drop a LOT less in 2010. I had shaken that habit, but let some challenges get in my way and found myself doing it a lot in '09. So here's to the next decade of looking forward, thinking positive, and facing my challenges with passion and creativity!
I would like to do less negative self talk…
Procrastinate!!
In 2010 I would like to worry less about family, friends, and my own health. I would like to spend less time thinking and more doing. Less missing people and visiting them more. And less time admiring other people's crafts and doing more. And of course less worrying about my thesis and just finishing it!!
Rely less on processed foods.
I would like to consume less.
I would like to do less working, of course!
