Anyway, no more Debbie Downer here. I'm putting on my big girl undies and looking at the bright side of things. I usually never make New Years resolutions, I think I'd rather not be let down at the end of the year when I don't accomplish the 101 things, including flying to the moon on my list. But this year I decided to keep it simple with 3 things I know I can accomplish.
The 3 things are kinda vague. It will let me accomplish a lot, plus being focused on 3 things rather than 101 (plus flying to the moon)is a much better goal for myself. So here is a go at my first list:
1. I'm halfway through school. Taking 1 class at a time is killing me, I just want it to be over already! This year I'm focusing on taking on as much as I can with school. I am determined to learn Auto CAD so that I can be useful to all those designers out there who might need an assistant this year (hint, hint)
2. I have a really great camera, with a brand new lens that I got for my birthday, I need to learn how to work the thing and take better photos for myself and this blog.
3. I've got all these grand ideas for projects and crafts- and then things like my full time job, school, homework, and life get in the way. This year I really want to make an effort to paint more, sew more, create more. If not for anyone else, but for me. Its a large stress relief and who doesn't need stress relief these days.
I think putting this out there and making it public will be the motivation I need. I now get why other bloggers do this every year, it makes total sense. It was stressful to think about, but now that it's out there its like a big weight off my shoulders.
I can't wait to check off those boxes... 2013 bring it on!

You can do it! Auto CAD is a cinch. You'll be able to learn it in no time. It makes me sound like a dinosaur, but I've been using it since R14 (1997!) back in the days of Softdesk!
Yay, you did it! You wrote a new year's post :) Can't wait to see what 2013 holds for you!
LEB,
I feel so fortunate to read your blog. Thank-you, you always share such great things, your accomplishments, your fun diy's and I never see the things you have unfinished.
I wish you a sparkly winter....I keep my lights up for as long as I can. They motivate me and this year I am starting early for next holiday. I am.
Happy 2013.

I like the number 3. This sounds challenging, but doable. I used to get lost in my sewing. I would work for hours. I miss getting totally lost in a project. Good luck!
I like it girlfriend. Especially #3. I'll cheer you on! :)
