blog goals | 2011

I don't do resolutions. Something about the word just sets me up for failure from the second I utter the word. Instead I like the word goals. When I hear that word, it fills me with a sense of fulfillment, competition, achievement and puts a fire under me making me feel as if I CAN DO IT!

I've only been blogging since June 2010 so this is what I hope will be the first of many annual blog goal roundups I share with you..

• post at least monthly updates on how I've added to my Gratitude Journal: my plan was to add memorabilia and photos and maybe even treat some pages as mini-album pages with a few embellishments
• continue creating free downloads for your personal use: quarterly subway art calendars, journaling prompts, seasonal all-in-one notecards, seasonal postcard templates and more!
• update you on projects i am partcipating in like this free class and this one: you can visit the Participate with Me section in my sidebar to see what I'll be doing this year
• share at least one project i created in my art journal {via Julie Balzer} each month
• incorporate my one little word for 2011 into at least one craft project per month: i am taking the class taught by Ali Edwards at Big Picture Classes if you'd like to check it out
• share the themes, my photos and links to the Flickr gallery of the new 52Photos project Lisa and I are collaborating on
• do more layouts and share them here: i get caught up in projects that i forget to sit down and actually do a scrapbook page
• be inspired by my Tumblr and actually create at least one project from there, posting here on the blog each month
• complete at least one Christmas craft each month and share it with you so that I'll be prepared, and ahead, of the craziness that is November and December
• share the layouts and projects I create for my write.click.scrapbook. design team
• keep you updated on new e-Books from Ella Publishing and share the projects I create for the design team
• continue using that super cool and very luscious baker's twine from The Twinery on projects and layouts and keep you updated on the awesome projects posted by other members of the design team at The Twinery blog
• Sunday Photos will continue each week

I am always open to suggestions and ideas and topics you would like for me to feature. You can leave your thoughts as a comment, or you can contact me. Thanks, as always, for reading and for always making me feel like what I create is interesting to you.
