Happy 2010


I don't like resolutions, but I do like setting goals.  Maybe it is just semantics, but as soon as I resolve to do something, I begin the process of derailing myself.  But setting goals is like making a to-do list, and I am an obsessive list maker.  What did I wish to achieve creatively in 2009?  For one thing, I wanted to see something of mine published in a national magazine.  With the Somerset Studios Winter Gallery issue, this goal was realized.  Yea me!   I wanted to post here more regularly, and I think I've been pretty good about that.  I wanted to take a class with Tim Holtz, and went on a whole cruise, taking classes with him and Wendy Vecchi.  Not bad!

For 2010:
  • more published work
  • de-stash - send unwanted stuff to new homes and be more discriminating in my buying
  • say no when necessary - I really don't have to join every swap, challenge, mingle, etc. out there
  • bind those unbound books, finish those half done scrapbook pages; complete all projects.  No more unfinished symphonies!
What are your artistic goals?  What can you do to help yourself achieve them?  Something to think about.
