For the first time in 10 years I stayed awake to the ring in the New Year! Hooray! Ok, it was completely overrated. :)
I have set some goals for myself for the coming year. I’m calling them goals, not resolutions.
ART:
- learn to knit
- use the supplies I have instead of buying new
- finish my circles quilt
- open an Etsy shop
- complete my Nature altered book
- Be Creative Every Day
SELF:
- get back to eating healthy
- get back to my exercise routine
HOME:
- paint the kitchen cupboards
- plant more veggies
- de-cluttter in prep for a monster garage sale
- repurpose and recycle more
It was a busy day so I never got around to wishing my online friends a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I also opened the final gift in the 12 days of Christmas swap. This pretty little quiltlet was from the hostess Theresa. She also included some fun fibers and a pencil to play with. My daughter has already laid claim to the stocking hat bedecked pencil.
I am thankful for:
- another Thanksgiving with both of my parents
- my loving husband
- my beautiful children
- our home and the food on our table
We are opting out of Halloween this year. I’m so glad!
Last year I went kicking and screaming into Halloween. This year we convinced the kids that since they have to throw so much of the candy away anyway due allergies that it wasn’t really worth it.
The kids are getting a trip to Toys R Us with cash to buy something and the candy of their choice.
