giveaway // win your own personal planner

January 17, 2013 by ·

Update: It’s been a tough choice but I’ve picked a winner in the Personal Planner giveaway! Congratulations Michelle, who said she would put ~ what I think is a very appropriate quote ~ “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Thanks everyone for entering!

We are halfway through January and I have yet to get a 2013 diary.

I know, I don’t know myself either. I put it down to the fact I’m still not quite ready for the year to begin.

So naturally I jumped at the chance to grab my own  planner from the aptly named Personal Planner and to give one away to you, too.

Personal Planner is giving you a gift card to choose a planner in any size valued up to $45.

As someone who is always on the hunt for the perfect diary, I love the idea of being able to design your own. With Personal Planner you can change the colour, text, design and covers, add boxes for lists and activities. You can even add friends and family birthdays to the inlay directly from Facebook. There are four sizes and you can pick the start date ~ no more wasted pages!

Then your planner is delivered directly to your door.

Make sure you visit the Personal Planner website to check out all the fun inclusions and designs and like their Facebook page to get the latest updates and design ideas.

so, I repainted

If you are reading this in a RSS reader, you might want to pop over and check out the new decor Lime Lane.

I’ve seen lots of people lately enjoying the new year for the simple reason it means a fresh start, in some ways a blank slate. I thoroughly agree with this sentiment.

So it is here, with the festive period behind us, that we begin again here at no. 74.

The survey has been refreshing, affirming and in some ways eye-opening. I hate to gush, but I will, because I have to say thank you for your responses, your honesty and feedback. It has truly been helpful more than I could have ever expected.

A quick rundown on the result ~ and the way forward.

The top 3 favourite posts

The 3 least favourite posts:

So there were some definite keepers and some definite cutbacks to make. A little reassessment.

What will you notice?

As of the weekend, we start again at no.1. The popularity of the zesty finds makes me think I need to bring them back to the blog (the social media experiment never really worked anyhow). And a few of you asked for more crafty and DIY links and the like, so again I will bring that back to the blog and scrap #74funthings on Twitter.

Naturally those old favourites won’t be going anywhere. The top 5 lists were also reasonably popular so they will stay. But zesty tweets,well I’ll admit I’m torn. So I’m going to stew on that one.

You can still add your comments to the survey here.

And I’ve declared 2013 the year of the newsletter. You can read about that, and sign up for zesty goodness straight to your inbox here.

PS. I’m also changing my ads over to Passionfruit ads. It works great, easy to do and you are in control. For all the info, stats and to book a spot go here.

new year = fresh and zesty start

January 2, 2013 by · 6 Comments

Happy new year!

A little bit of housekeeping today.

I’ve deliberately been a bit sporadic these two weeks as I, and I’m sure you, have invested time with family and friends. It’s been lovely and unpressured.

But with all the festivities now done and dusted, it’s time to turn the attention back to “work”. {And I put that in ” because it’s not work when you enjoy it, is it?}

Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right. ~ Oprah

I’ve seen this quote floating around of late. That’s what I love about the new year ~ the fresh beginning. I’m hoping this year I can do all the things I didn’t get around to last year.

No resolutions for me this year, and I have some vague goals in my head but am yet to commit them to paper or hard facts just yet.

However, in  2013 I want Lime Lane to be all that I want it to be. All the things I think, dream, plan to do ~ I want to do.

So the new year is ripe for a little bloggy revamp. I’ve been throwing a few ideas around in my head and on paper the past couple of weeks with a mind to implementing them around about now.

Nothing too drastic. A little shake-up, a few tweaks, a new look. While the crux of Lime Lane will stay the same, it will just be a little spit and polish around the edges. Change is as good and all that. And everyone needs a freshen up now and then to keep things interesting, and interested.

I’ve put together a very quick questionnaire ~ three questions, multiple choice ~ for you to share what you do and don’t like to see on Lime Lane. I would love your input.

And watch this space! :)

wishing you a zesty Christmas

December 24, 2012 by · 2 Comments

We are road tripping today so I’m signing out for Christmas. {Though you will still find me on Twitter, Instagram and probably Facebook}.

I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas. Thank you for all your support, comments, shares and for just being here this year.

Have a safe and happy holidays. And remember the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loudly for all to hear. You can add to this playlist here.

No {lime link love} today.

I have no words, I cannot imagine how those families in Newton, CN, are feeling, and I won’t pretend to.

They say when you have children your heart lives outside of your body. I think we all feel that quite keenly today.

But a couple of things I think are worth sharing:

When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” To this day, especially in times of “disaster,” I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers — so many caring people in this world.
