More Reflections - with Next Years Challenges

I am so glad the holiday season is almost over - the only thing left this year, is New Years Eve!!!  I have worked hard in so many different areas of my life, of which, creating took a backseat to everything going on with me personally.  This year was spent on ME...my health, a total knee replacement, family issues and relationships, and just healing emotionally.  Today, looking ahead at 2015, is a totally different feeling than last year at this time looking ahead to 2014!  
What are your reflections for the past year - both personally and creatively?  Did you get enough creating done for your family, did you create enough for yourself, did you get everything done you wanted to?  For this next year, are there things you want to learn that you haven't spent the time to learn yet, are there projects you keep putting off, and what about products and supplies you have right now - do you have enough?
For this next year - here are a few things to challenge you:  

  • If you have older supplies, or haven't shopped for a while, try to do a little shopping for new supplies!  But don't buy too much, or things you know you won't use!  
  • Do an album reflecting on the past year...where you were at, where you are at now! Make sure to include the good, bad and ugly! 
  • Do an "intentions" album for next year, things you want to accomplish in the next year!  
  • If you send any cards out, get on a schedule to create different cards to give out the next 6 months!
  • Do more recycled projects - such as altered notebooks, recycled cereal boxes, can's, and decorations for your home!  
  • Learn something new - if you are doing the same thing over and over again, it will be boring...kick up your creating into something different!  
Check back this week where we will be talking about next years projects and decided how you want to do things - BEFORE next year hits!  Spend a bit of money, or use up those gift cards you got - to get the perfect supplies for next years albums and projects!  We will get organized, and look at things a bit different, for you to get more done - LIKE ME!  My time is precious now, I'm not home as much as I used to - so I need all the help I can get in getting organized, and more done!  

Thanks for stopping by,
Lynda Jeffs
