There are a few resolutions too, eat less, exercise more, read more, listen more, be more positive, smile more often, but those are more general and harder to accomplish.

Can't wait to see Katie's list .. and how she achieves some of her goals!

Happy New Year!

Las Vegas is not high on my list. But I do like #23! :D And I have always wanted to make a sock monkey I even have a kit in the studio. I'll be posting my list soon.

Well sad to say I do not want to go to Las Vegas!
But I do want to go to California, and Philadelphia and Wilmington.
So I need to get a list of the 52 things I want to do this year. I should have seen this coming.
