This… yes, this is pretty much my motto right now.
(Except I actually say ‘I don’t know what
I’m doing but I’m doing it anyway’.)
I do like a good motto.
So much so that my friend once made
me a print of a saying I said a lot.
I think it’s my way of explaining why I do things.
Or me trying to talk myself into doing things!
Anyway, I thought it was time I had some new ones.
Some ‘let’s do this thing’ 2012 sayings…
Here’s my new favourites:
This is… well, I want to say perfect…
But, yes times a million.
Done… and beautifully imperfect, this sounds good to me!
You can’t really argue with this can you?!
If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know!
This…
And this…
And this… just because I love it.
And if none of that works, what you really
need is this – a fox riding a rocket!

So what’s your motto?
(If it’s good, can I steal it for me too?)

P.S. Yup, I had a little blog redesign.
Hope you like it? It’s a bit of a work in progress.
(Yes, I don’t know what I’m doing
but I’m doing it anyway!)

I love these! And I need that fox. My mum’s motto when we were younger was “Food’s food”. A sure fire cure for fussy eaters! xx
Love the ribbon, love the fox, love the mottos! X

There’s some good’uns there. I like the no frowning… one. Mainly because I frown so much that I need a reminder.
My favourite motto at the moment is ‘If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all’.

A Beautiful Thing is Never Perfect – I like that one! And the new blog design is lovely… very fresh and pretty. x

Oh I LOVE the blog redesign. It’s lovely, and these prints are adorable. x
These are excellent! I am in the middle of graduate school and can barely take it anymore. These mottos are just perfect for right now!

I really love the new header, it’s gorgeous. One of my favourite saying’s is ‘A box of birds’ – which is typical saying from New Zealand, my homeland. I always forget no one in the UK knows what it means though – basically I’m feeling good today.Someone asks how you are and you reply with ‘a box of birds’. Weird I know, but it always reminds me of some Disney cartoony bluebirds when I say it. x

Oh I love the redesign and these are amazing choices! Not sure what my motto would be though lol… it would probably involve chocolate… or cameras 🙂

love the quotes, a favourite of mine has always been ‘together everyone achieves more’.
new blog design is pretty snazzy, nice font x
Thanks everyone – for the mottos and the lovely comments about the new look too! (So nice to hear that you like it – and that I didn’t just break it/make it worse instead!) xx
This is awesome! I love that beautiful things are never perfect. Makes me glad I have so many darn imperfections.
I love this. The title made me laugh, all of the sayings are true, and I LOVE the new look! 🙂
LIFE IS GOOD!! I might have to have that one. 🙂

I am getting the “The Only Way to Begin is to Begin” one for work when I am putting things off. I love all of these. I have one from Conan O’Brien “When you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen” – it’s part of a longer spiel but I try to live by it now. 🙂

Ooh I do love a good motto, especially if they look all pretty. I like ‘things go grey when we forget how to play’ best.
Josie recently posted..Once you’ve seen this, you’re really really going to want one….
Oh dear, I’m trying so hard to save money but I can feel that ‘Done is better than perfect’ print burrowing its way into my subconscious. It’ll be on the wall before I even know it.
The redesign looks great Zoe.
Loving the blog redesign!
And the last one would fit my hisband so well–he loves rocket, he is a physics geek and I am so proud of him–ok reigning the feelings back in.
For me probably a beautiful thing is never perfect. I really need to remember this being a perfectionist annoying person too much of the time!
