I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. I am back at home in Forest Grove, so I should be catching up on your blogs and writing more in my own. Every year I have quite a few resolutions, and this year is no exception. I figure, even if you only make one of them, you're improving yourself or making yourself a little more happy. I also think they should be realistic, but no big deal if you don't keep them (all). Mine include:
- No more chips
- Only one caffeineated beverage a week
- Save a portion of each paycheck
- Craft and blog more
- No more neck cracking
- Take more pictures
Craft more is definitely winning. I tend to be more crafty during breaks though, so we'll see if it keeps up. I just finished a scarf I was making for my mom's cousin. Right now I'm sewing together a quilt for Kyle (the network assistant). (Shhh don't tell!) He just gave me an awesome Re-ment table and chairs for Paisley which she's sitting at with some friends. I'm going to make a table runner for it and decorate and then I'll take some pictures when I have good lighting.
I got an A in drawing. In the beginning of the year I promised myself if I got an A in all of my classes except drawing I would buy a Birdie Blue and if I got an A in drawing I would buy a Candy Carnival. I honestly didn't think I would achieve either of those goals. I was close to the first, but I did get an A in drawing! Now I'm not sure if I should get her. I know I need to save for books next semester and I'm not sure if I'd rather have a Birdie Blue. What do you think?
Anyway, I hope you're having lots of fun and your resolutions stick.
Since I am too lame to write anything of note on here, I will leave you with pretty pictures.
The sidewalk chalk festival is in progress in my town. Every year they hold this festival and lots of people come to show off their creations. It's a lot of fun, but being in western Oregon it never lasts for long. Even more pictures to come later.
This one is for my mom. She used to have these stickers of dogs made out of vegetables, so these reminded me of her. These were made by homeschooled kids.
