New Year
Okay, I'm not real big on traditonal resolutions. But I do like goals and road maps and having a plan for the next year. This year I'm giving myself the gift of time to enjoy my life. My goal is simply to slow down and take the world in for a while. I'll be working on things, but I won't be beating myself up this year for not accomplishing everything on my to-do lists.
In my new found playfulness, I made a little booklet with things I'd like to work on this year. I am a bookmaking nut. I love making books in any and all forms, so there will be lots of those finding there way into my blog.
Illustration Goals:
Send samples every 3 months. Something I have not been very good about doing.
Finish my two dummy books that I have shelved and send them out. (I'm really good at making things, not so good at getting them out in the mail!)
Sell prints online and in shops around town.
Beady Dreams:
Do weekly bead auctions on justbeads.com
Work on more one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces, finding more shops and galleries to sell them in. Can't wait to use all the beads my Mom gave me for Christmas!
Send out 1 bead article a month - again, not so good about mailing things out.

What a great idea--I love that little book--I want to make one too--
I have the opposite problem; I'm good at sending things out and bad about making new things--HA HA
Good luck with your goals and not beating yourself over the head--that is one of mine as well.

Love the book!
