One of my goals for the new year is to final take a out-of-state trip with my boyfriend. For the last three and a half years I've been telling him all about Seattle, Washington (where a good chunk of my family is from), and I feel that it is finally time to take him there and show him how amazing the town really is!
So excited for this giveaway!
Happy New Years!

One of my goals this year is to make two blankets. One by means of crochet and one by means of sewing up old favorite tee shirts. I'm very excited!

Eeee! I love your giveaways! Here's mine:
I hope this year I'll be able to assemble an art journal class. I've always wanted to be an art teacher, and I feel like this is the year to start. :) Hopefully if this turns out okay, I plan to use the money towards going into art college!
I hope you have great year ahead of you, Elsie! You're amazing!

I hope to finally learn to crochet from a pattern! I do a lot of freehand crocheting that was self-taught. Learning from a pattern seems like it would be quite handy. I'd also like to do more photo documentation than I usually do.

My goal this year is to finish all the projects that I start, and cross off that to-do list already! I overwhelm myself too much, and I'd love to be a saner person in 2010 :)
Happy New Year everyone!

My biggest goal this year is to stick to the work time/play time schedule I have made out. As Dr. Seuss put it, "It's fun to have fun but you have to know how!"

My goal for 2010 is to make my dad proud. He leaves mid January for a year long deployment to Iraq and when he comes back I want him to be so proud of the things I will have accomplished this year.
I want him to come back and be happy with all that I have done this coming year. I'm so excited.
Love you blog Elsie. XOXOXO

One of my goals is to dye my hair pink again. I had it pink for several months and dyed it black but I really REALLY miss the pink.

My goal this year is to make a "Pregnancy/Journey" scrapbook for my baby instead of buying a typical baby book. I think it would be fun to make my own milestones into something that could be treasured...

My goal is to do whatever makes me happy. I have put so much energy into making other people happy and it usually doesn't even work out. I am going to focus on me this year, starting with style school! I can't wait!

I've discovered some things about myself this year...so these are my goals for 2010. You kinda made me really think.
1. Take Photography class (though my major is business management)
2. Learn to Sew sew sew (just got a sewing machine...for style school and forever)
3. Have more date nights with Hubby
4. Make my blog...very unique
5. Keep my word...to myself (it's easy to keep my word to others...its hard to follow through to myself)
6. Have Family night (I've had a girls night with my friends...but the family needs me right now...and we need to make it a point to not be too busy for eachother)
7. Stay focused (I have 3 jobs and school...FOCUS!)
THATS ALL I'VE GOT FOR NOW...HAPPY NEW YEAR!
