After going through last years goals and what I accomplished, I feel it’s important for me to set some new goals for 2011.

Last year I set some goals for myself so I figured I had better fess up and see what I actually accomplished.
I’m rating myself with a stoplight system for lack of a better way.
This is my 2010 list:

SELF:
I must be a glass half-full kind of person because I see the goals that I haven’t quite met not as failures as some would but as stairs I have climbed on my way to the goal.
Over all I’m glad I made this list. Obviously, I didn’t do everything I wanted to but really…who does? I’m going to think about my goals for 2011 now. I think accountability is a great motivator.
Last night I made the covers to complete the 12 Days of Christmas swap book. It’s bound and will be enjoyed for years to come.
I’m thinking that I’ll put it away with the Christmas stuff so each year I can take it out and reminisce.
A few weeks ago I entered a Christmas giveaway hosted by mixed-media jewelry artist, Diana Frey. Low and behold…I was actually one of three lucky winners. The UPS man brought me a nice package yesterday afternoon while we were moving tons of snow off the roof and then again off the driveway and sidewalk… JOY. I knew as soon as we got done, that package was waiting..made me work a little faster.
Just look at the bounty that spilled forth from the box…
I had to stand up on my sewing chair to get far enough away to get it all in one photo.
Diana must have known about my love affair with pink or else it was just kismet… Lots of pink fun stuff to use!!
Once again heading out the door… going to go help mom today.
I bet some of my Tea Tuesday friends will have much more interesting things to talk about than myself today. Go check out their posts on Kimmie’s sidebar.
Hopefully, I’ll have time to stop by later too!
My blog kind of got away from me this holiday season. Luckily, the Friday Freebie post was scheduled or else that wouldn’t have happened either. We had company both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day…in fact we still have a guest sleeping upstairs.
Lets get caught up with the 12 days of Christmas swap shall we…
On the 10th day of Christmas I opened 10 Lords a Leaping by Penny A. This was very unique since it opens to reveal,
the Ten Commandments. Penny aged the paper which gave it a really nice look.
The 11th day had me opening the fun fabric bag with my name sewn at the top. Very cute…I’m hanging on to that goodie!
Inside the fabric bag was this great 11 Pipers Piping by Jackie. Love the tartan. For some weird reason I couldn’t get the green cardstock to appear true to color…frustrating.
And finally, on the 12th day of Christmas we have Twelve Drummers Drumming by Rita. What a cute little guy to round out our pages.
I now will need to create covers and bind my book. But first I’ll need to thank one more person.
Another art friend sent me a surprise on Thursday. Isn’t this tree so darling! Kat did a beautiful job with this tree!
Here’s a view of the other side. I love it. Thank you Kat!!
Have you stuck with me throughout my rambling? I’d be impressed if you have.
Merry -belated- Christmas.
As promised…the gingerbread house made at school. There was more sugar than should be legal in a classroom!
The three bears crack me up…
especially when there is a fourth hiding behind a tree.
Wow, I just realized this was my 4th post of the day. I guess I’ve had things to say just no time to say them. Today was no exception but I did manage to get a ton of stuff done…apparently I work best under pressure.
