Season's Givings {Blog Hop - Year 7}

Welcome! 
Latisha has brought some great 
companies, designers, and friends 
together again for a fabulous blog hop! 
(Bonus: every single blog on the hop is hosting a giveaway!)

For those of you who may not know me or my company, my name is Tifany and I own Ink Blot Shop. I design clear stamps (made in the USA) for card making, Bible art journaling, bullet journaling, and more.
If you aren't already following Ink Blot Shop, please be sure to follow along on the @InkBlotShop Instagram account and the Ink Blot Shop Facebook page.

I am SO thankful for all the love that has been shown since I started my company, and I can never say THANK YOU enough. I wasn't really sure what to expect when I started off on my own, but the response has been incredible and I've been blessed with great friendships and wonderful opportunities because of it. 

2018 was a crazy year - business (and "real life") kept me busy and I didn't have a chance to get crafty as much as I would have liked. I seriously fell off the blogging wagon (and I think I might have even just lost the whole wagon!), but I have tried to keep up my posting as much as possible over on Instagram

As a little peek back at the year, here are the top nine posts:

And my most recent creation - unfortunately, a set of much needed sympathy cards:

  1. Am a new comer to your blog and stamps - but LOVE your Arts and Crafts icons - a new staple in my planner stamps! Thanks for the inspiration and I look forward to more in 2019

  2. Wonderful card. I love the sentiment and awesome stamp design. I love bible journaling. My word or daily thought is to Thank God for another day and guide me throughout the day. My 2019 word is Believe.. It can be for many things. Happy New Year hope your year is blessed.

    ReplyDelete
  3. I didn’t have a motivational word last year and don’t have one for this year yet. I’m leaning towards organized, I really need to be more organized. Happy New Year! 🥳

    ReplyDelete
  4. Happy New Year! I believe this is the first time I've been on your blog; I'm always excited to learn about new companies. My word for this year is Healing. The past year (really the past two) have been extremely difficult for me health wise and emotionally. I'm hoping I can get my medical issues under control and I want to craft more to help me heal my mind and my soul. I'm so ready for the new year. Thank you for offering such a generous prize for the hop!

    ReplyDelete
  5. No word to motivate me for 2019, but I do have some resolutions posted on my blog. I hope to find more time for "me" with my young family and feel less rushed, more relaxed when I craft.

    ReplyDelete
  6. My word is HOPE. I am new to your blog.

    ReplyDelete
  7. My motivational word for 2019 is actually two words; "Take Time". Ink Blot Shop has been a fairly new blog for me and I've enjoyed seeing all that you offer.

    ReplyDelete
  8. My word for 2019 is CREATE. I chose it this year because it can be used for ,any parts of my life, which has been pretty mundane lately. I can create art through stamping, sewing, or playing piano. I can create opportunities for myself and others at work. I can create new memories with family and friends.

    ReplyDelete
  9. What beautiful projects. Love your sympathy set too.

    I hadn't really thought of a word for 2019 but the last couple of stops have asked for crafty goals and I've been consistently typing 'being more organized' so there it is: organized

    ReplyDelete
  10. I don't know if I really have a word to keep me motivated, but the word I've mentioned a lot lately is healthy. I've got to be healthier, so I can be happier, so I can help others. I guess I have three H words...Healthy, Happy, Helping! I hope you have a happy New Year!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Happy 2019!!! I don't usually have a specific word picked out but I am going to try "smile" in hopes of keeping a positive attitude most of the time.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Happy New Year, my word for 2019 is HOPE, last year was expectation almost on the same line of Hope.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I came across your company some time back and I really love your designs. My word for 2019 is ACTION. 2018 has been a rather tough year and I am determined to make 2019 much better. Only way to do it is by taking massive ACTION!

    ReplyDelete
  14. My word for 2019 is LOVE. Our world needs so much right now. Thanks for the offer.

    ReplyDelete
  15. My word is GO!! I have been too idle. I'm retired and spend too many hours standing still. This is my year to get up and GO!!

    ReplyDelete
  16. I love your sentiment set! My 2018 word was focus and my 2019 word is advocate.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Happy New Year! I dont do that word thing.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I have not chosen a word yet ... usually one chooses me, but that hasn't happened yet ... I plan to meditate on it today and see what rises to the top.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I just sawon Selma Blair’s IG, someone recommending this to her instead of resolutions to choose a word to try and model your year around. So I chose two, patience and understanding. Had a lot go on at the end of this year and I think everyone could benefit from those two words!

    ReplyDelete
  20. My word is be present! Happy New Year and cheers to a new year of crafting!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. My work is focus. Focus on the good of whatever I am faced...... a bad day at work, I need to focus on the good. I have a great job that pays me well, has a flexible schedule that type of thing. Not focus on the negativity that sometime sucks me/us in.
    Happy New Year and I love this hop because it often introduced me to a new company/blog (like you). Cheer to 2019!

    ReplyDelete

  30. My word for 2019 is stronger. After going through the devastation and continued re-building efforts of Hurricane Michael here in Panama City, FL. I have decided that I and my family will be stronger in the coming year(s). We will make our relationships stronger, as we do not know what can happen next. We will strengthen our faith, as we are nothing without our God who has continued to bless us. I hope you all will grow in strength as well. ❤

    ReplyDelete
  31. 2019 words Do it now! 2018 word the past.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I haven't picked a word for 2019 but I would say "mindful" is my "theme, if you will. 2018 was a very hard year for many reasons so I am heading into 2019 with the intention to slow down and take time for myself - aka hopefully more crafty time! :)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  37. Positivity...I am trying to place this above all the negativity in the world, especially on social media!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Happy New Year. My phrase last year was - try it. And I tried a whole bunch of new things. This year it is going to be. Create. I am promising myself that I will spend more time creating, in my crafty workshop and in my kitchen.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Hmmm... I did not have a word for 2018 and I'm thinking of my word for 2019... something to remind me to let people know I'm thinking of them... if I think it say it... well... the good stuff anyway...lol! Speak? Share? Share... I think that will be it. It will be my reminder to actually mail out the many cards I make. Let everyone know that I love them and value them and what it is about them that I love. Yeah... that's it. Thanks for the inspiration! You are new to me and I need to check out your stamps, but I love what I see so far! Congrats on your venture! Oh! And thanks for the sale and chance to win! Happy New Year!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  45. Your sympathy cards are so pretty and I loved looking back at your top posts for 2018. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for this year! Last year, my word was "adventure" but I didn't experience much of that LOL. This year.....it's "passion"....for my faith, my family, my health and anyone I come in contact with. The world needs more kindness :-) Thanks for sharing your creativity with us. Happy New Year!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Your cards are so pretty and bright! My word for 2019 is SAGE! I know that seems like an odd word, but it's my prompt to remind myself to rid my life of negative energy and vibes, as if I was saging my life around me. I want to bring positive energy everywhere I go!
    Happy New Year Hugs!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Who already has goals and inspirational words? I have only had time for one cuppa coffee so far. I love all your sentiments stamp sets though. . . those are great. OK if I have to pick one word it would be FOCUS. I find it really hard to complete things and I procrastinate a lot I’ll tell you too much self awareness can be depressing. But that’s my word focus and here is my email address those other ones don’t work LDYJS@outlook.com

    ReplyDelete

I am going to have to make changes in my work life as my job is finishing but I also want to make changes in my own life such as setting aside time to do what I love and what is important to me.

    ReplyDelete
  86. What a great idea to choose a word to motivate me this year. I can think of many words I need to use to motivate me, but I think THE word for me is Gratitude. It motivates me thru dark times, when I forget to be grateful, but also bright times, when I take things for granted, and also forget to be grateful.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  103. I think my word would have to be FOCUS, as I tend to be all over the place with my projects. It should have been my word for the last 10 years too. LOL I love the Sentiment Label Blocks stamps! I am constantly looking for good little sentiments like those. Thanks so much!

    ReplyDelete
  104. I have never done a word for the year but if I did for this year it would be Organize! Thank you!

  111. Oh I just loved reading through what others have chosen as their inspirational words for 2019 - what a wonderful prompt!! Hmm... I think mine is serve this year. I hope to be able to better serve others as my rotational year for medical school starts in July! :)

    ReplyDelete
  112. Thanks for the giveaway. I have no words for 2018 (wasn't a great year) hopefully 2019 will be better!

    ReplyDelete
  113. I am new to your site and I love it! 2018 was a little rough and over the past week I have been thinking what my theme or motto for the coming year should be and I have decided that No Excuses is what will really help me this year.

    ReplyDelete
  114. LIFE - because life is good - thank you for the chance and intro to your store!

    ReplyDelete
  115. Happy New Year! My word for 2019 is happy!

    ReplyDelete
  116. kindness is my word----millierose651@aol.com

    ReplyDelete
  117. I am not good at these words, I chose one last year and I cannot even remember what it was... if I have to choose it one it would be FOCUS because I truly need to keep my focus on God and trust Him. Sometimes He brings us to that point where all we can do is trust in Him so that we can regain that focus that we so easily lose or it becomes blurred. It has been a hard year, but that being said, I still have an abundance of things to be grateful for.

    Thanks for the chance to win some of your fabulous stamps. Happy New Year!!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  164. I've been doing a word for the year since 2008 and I love the impact it has on my life. 2018 was "renew" and it guided me beautifully. 2019's word is "intentional" and I have great hope for the power of that word. May God bless you with an incredible new year.Cori (who is no longer in West Texas) cdscrappin@aol.com

    ReplyDelete
  169. I have never had "a word" but now you've inspired me and I think my word will be "hustle". Last year I was busy all the time, but didn't feel like it was time well spent. I think the word "hustle" implies being busy, but in a "get it done" and effective sort of way!

    ReplyDelete
  170. I didn't have a word last year but my word for this year is Courage. Last year was really tuff on me and I have had to learn what courage is all over again.

  172. You have caught me off guard, without a word...I've had to sit and think and pray a few moments--"compassion" was revealed. I have a 92 year old mother whose dementia is increasing daily. I need to find deep reserves of compassion for all my interactions with her. Thanks for this exercise!

I want to join a Design Team next year (2020), so I want to be more Consistent in posting my creations. I've been pretty good at posting on Instagram since I joined, but I really need to get my blog updated and posting those creations there.
