Happy New Year!!!
This is me, 20 lbs lighter and full of life! My fav memory from 2013, my flapper outfit for the big Halloween bash. Such fun!! I'm trying to top this outfit this year.... got any suggestions? I'm still working on losing more weight this year and I am excited to make this the last year losing weight is a goal. Next year I will only be maintaining! Excitement.
Anyhoo....
Thank you for your support in 2013! It's been a great time to meet new crafty friends and learn new techniques. I also achieved many of my goals from last year after revealing them to you. So, I thought I'd do it again because, let's face it... you're my lucky charm and consistent motivator! As such, a giveaway for my faithful followers is in order! Follow me on Bloglovin or Google Friends Connect and leave a comment on this post sharing your 2014 crafty goals with me and/or your fav memory from last year to be entered into a drawing for a crafty prize pack. It's going to be something good, so don't miss out!
My top 10 goals are:
- Return to crafting for the love of it - no more "have to" when it comes to my passion.
- Complete most (if not all) of my personal crafting
- Open my online store - make inventory, start selling my crafty creations
- Start creating videos for my YouTube channel
- Make more crafts for charity - Operation Write Home, etc.
- Stop buying and hoarding - try out all of my supplies (and purge if I don't have a use for it)
- Start making my own embellishments
- Become Copic certified
- Increase my online footprint - socialize, participate in swaps and crops with my online peeps
- Apply for and gain one professional (major manufacturer) design team appointment
I can't WAIT to read your responses.
Smooches!!!

1. I will not buy any product until I have created 100 layouts or cards/projects. (adhesive only if necessary) 2. Use more of my hoard; ribbon, buttons, brads, stickers etc. 3. Put all my completed pages into albums. 4. play more with colour and texture. That's all I have so far. <3

Great costume! A flapper girl is on my short list for Halloween costumes to try someday...Congrats on losing weight too! I already follow you on Bloglovin, and my crafty goals for 2014 include FINALLY organizing my craftroom, creating and blogging again (as I really miss both), practicing with my copics, just jump in and get some business cards printed. I have been hesitating on that last one...Finally, I want to share more of my creative self with others, through cards or handmade gifts this year. However, I really like your #9 in terms of commenting on blogs and on message boards--may have to add that one too!

I've been using my stash instead of hoarding. It's my extra scraps after projects I'm having the problem with discarding. My goal is to make 20 cards (from my scraps) for different charities each month other than my Sunshine Foundation mail. I think I'll start posting them to keep focused on that goal. Thank you for the motivation.
ReplyDeleteYou are working that outfit. The best to you on your journey. You look marvelous and it shows all over your face!
