Goals for 2010
For those of you who have followed my blog since the beginning, you may remember this card. We’re going back to December 1, 2008 for this card. This was my second card featuring buttons- isn’t it amazing how far I’ve come?! ;) I am so amazed at how much my crafting style has changed in just a year. I still think this card is cute, but I think I have improved leaps and bounds since I posted this card. Have any of your gone to your archives to look at older cards? I would thoroughly encourage you to do that. If you think you have been in a crafting rut, this really helps you see how far you’ve come, and it may inspire you to use some of your “older” ideas! I love the idea of using buttons in a tree….may have to try that again soon.
Today, since it’s New Year’s Eve, I’m going to publicly post my goals for 2010. Yes, this is a tiny bit scary having others know, but I think it’ll help me accomplish them since others you’ll ask me about them. ;) *hint hint* A couple days ago I looked back at my goals for 2009 and was pleasantly surprised that I accomplished almost all of them!
Goals for 2010
- Lose 15 pounds. My ultimate goal is to lose 25….I’ll stick with 15 for now and see if I can accomplish that first.
- Get published in a crafting magazine. Yes, I realize that I will actually have to submit for this to happen. I’m super nervous about submitting. Any tips from people who have been published?
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle. I’m slowly trying to get into a more nutritious diet, and I’m also working out at the gym 5 days a week. I really hope to keep this up.
- Go to three concerts. This may sound silly to some of you, but music is a huge part of my life.
- Spend less , save more. I did accomplish this in 2009- hopefully I can take it one step further in 2010.
So, what are your goals/ resolutions for this upcoming year? I’d love to hear them!
I need to sign off now- about to get ready for a New Year’s Eve party! I hope you all have a special night and an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G 2010! You all are the reason that I blog and I am so very blessed that you spend a little time with me on my blog.
Many blessings to all of my sweet blog friends!
Happy New Year Paulina! I’ve really enjoyed your cards this year and I can’t wait to see more.
As a painter every year I look back on my previous year’s paintings to see how far I’ve come. It really is amazing how much of a difference a year can make, but I bet I’ll be thinking the same thing next year at this time.
Good for you for posting your goals publicly… It takes guts! :) I think your goals are *great* and you’re gonna cross each and every one off your list!!!
Re: Being published… My only words of advice are: don’t be afraid, and submit submit submit! If you don’t get picked up right away, it’s not a reflection of you, you make gorgeous cards, girlie! My first card that was picked up was a *shock* to me… I ~hated~ that card! LOL You just never know what they’re going to be looking for! :)
Happy New Year, Paulina!!! I LOVE your work and am looking forward to following your blog again in 2010!!
Best of luck with all of your resolutions! With respect to getting published—-just GO FOR IT!!!! You are incredibly talented, and I know you’ll succeed!
