The
term is a blending of “accountability” and “buddy”. |
 |
A person who assists another in keeping them responsible for their actions and to prevent them from doing certain things.

An
accountabilibuddy is one who keeps another accountable in their actions.
The relationship is usually mutual, in that the two (or more ie: buddies ) people are
accountability partners for each other. Further, such a relationship requires
that the people be close, like us. :o) Thus, the more informal term
“accountabilibuddy” is more suitable to convey the close friendship in
addition to the aspect of accountability.
My sister, Carol, is my business and life accountabilibuddy. So is my husband, my daughters and my friends. (shhhh . . . some of them don't even know it!)
I am now making you my official online accountabilibuddy. Woot!
I am writing to you on my blog so that you will hold me accountable, because I am a huge Procraftinator! I am not exactly sure if this is a true word like accountabilibuddy, however it suits me to a tee. I get sidetracked numerous times a day, I mean really a lot! I got sidetracked writing this post, a lot! I know that it is the curse of the creative or the multi-passionate, as my sister likes to be thought of as. Ain't that right, Sis?
It really is a pretty awesome way to be and I feel super blessed, BUT I need to stay focused with the task at hand. 2015 and all that stuff is coming at me like a rocket and there's me, getting all distracted by the paper airplane flitting by.
(One last sister reference. She would say, SQUIRREL" every time she caught me straying. She said it A LOT, hence this blog post)
So, this is what I need help with today. My elevator pitch. My "What the heck am I?" This was SO hard for me to nail down. I think I've got it now, though. Keep it simple, right? This is how is plays out in the proverbial elevator.
The pitch:
Hi, I’m an inquisitive stranger. My name is Need To Know. What do you do?
Hi, Inq. My name is Nancy, I'm a creative . . .
Uhhhh . . . What does that mean, Nancy? (Inq. butted in before I finished)
. . . I design, make, photograph, share, teach and sell cute stuff.
Is that good enough? It at least starts a conversation and gets me in my comfort zone where I could talk for hours, like if they wanted me to do the Martha Stewart Show or a CreativeLive .com course. Hmmm . . .
This post ties in with the one on my re-launch last week, in case ya missed it! No more hiding out for me, right accountabilibuddy?
Oh, man! I almost forgot to announce the prize winner!
The winner is:
Kelly Kennard
All prizes will be mailed out the first week of December. Thanks everybody for playing! I'm going to have more contests during the launch of the NEW Domesticraft in 2015! Stay tuned!
Craft Happy!
Nancy
