Sweet Elsie came up with this great goal adventure for those willing to embark on before 2011. I know I'm not one for keeping up with things, i.e. this blog for one, but this seemed very do-able!
1. Organize old photos into albums. This will keep the mental pressure off to not have to go back to 2004 and continue my scrapbooking. I already have prints of my pictures in a box, so these will go in albums and I'll continue my current scrapbooking guilt-free!
2. Paint & decorate "steproom" in house with photo display. When my guest room was turned into the "steproom" that leads to my craft studio, it became the hub for boxes, piles, and complete disorganization. I have the paint, I have the pictures, and I have the frames. All it needs is a little love and dedication.
3. Spend time with my sewing machine. I've made a few things in the past - nothing too major - but now that I'm signed up for Home Ec, I plan on spending a lot more time with the 'ole gal. It would be my ultimate goal to make enough to sell, but if I put pressure on that, it might take a little of the fun away. Class started last Tuesday, and I plan on making some napkins tomorrow (1st project)...excited!!
4. Art Journaling. I've started two art journals from classes I've taken in the past, and I so enjoyed this focused time for journaling. My goal is to complete pages on a more regular basis whether they're happy, sad, angry, time-consuming, etc. It really helps me to be creative, and art journaling is such a therapeutic way to get some stuff out and feel those creative sparks.
So, there they are. I'm linking back up to Elsie and getting to "work!"
