2015 Goals and Resolutions

I didn't have this blog active last New Year's so this is my first big goals and resolutions post.  Let's dive in:

  1. Get crafting classes up and running -- A fellow mom friend and I currently have a Meetup group, but we're not getting much business.  I want to focus on getting people to classes and coming back for more. I'm not as concerned about direct orders, but would love to have people attend classes.
  2. Shop from my stash -- I did a huge destash before our move, but I need to focus on using more of my stash instead of buying new all the time. I want to make it a priority to always shop from my stash first...
  3. Participate in card making challenges -- I get all the blog posts about weekly card challenges, but they always seem to just languish in my blog roll.  I want to participate in at least one challenge a week.
  4. Keep up with my 2015 Project Life albums -- I did very well at keeping up with PL in 2014 until we moved in November.  I'm hoping my new PL strategies will help keep me on track even more.
  5. Make gifts monthly -- I love the idea of giving homemade gifts, but the rush of the holiday season usually makes this impossible.  I want to make gifts each month so I have an inventory by Christmas.  Alternatively, these can be used for birthday or just because gifts.
  6. Branch out with new styles, technology, and products -- I need to explore more new this year...
  7. Fully organize my new craft space -- I have a brand new craft area and haven't even begun to unpack. Of course that's because I'm still in Indiana.  But I want to have a nice organized space by the end of January.  Then my goal is to keep it organized and neat.
  8. Make at least 50 Pinterest inspired crafts -- I pin a lot.  I need to make more of those pins.
  9. Plan Arthur's 2nd birthday party during the summer -- I went down to the wire with his 1st birthday party.  I want this done in summer this coming year.
  10. Create a play area with crafty elements -- I have big plans for the front living room.  I want to turn it into a play room with some of the cute decorative elements I've pinned.
