welcome 2008, i am so glad you are here.

Grab a cup of tea and settle in for the first post of 2008.  Hpim4931 Since I last posted I have left my job, moved away, celebrated Christmas, and started a new job.  I have lived in Richmond exactly a month and I am finally starting to settle in.  Being homesick was getting old (even though there are moments in each day where I just long to be back in Alexandria.)  I miss my friends, but I am starting to make new ones.  Having John here helps too!! 


One of the best things about moving into my new place...my HUGE, AWESOME, BEAUTIFUL art studio.  I have crafted up a storm in there...here are some new pages. (*click to enlarge.)

These are just a few of the already 7 I have created this year.  I love the layout on the left about feeling free.  2007 was all about discovery, tears, and a log of growing.  I am glad to have that layout as a reminder of what I have been through...especially getting to where I am now.  Where I am now is this; my hopes, goals & wishes for 2008.  These are listed in no particular order.

  1. I would like run a 5K (actually run the whole time.)
  2. To lose 34 lbs.
  3. Go JTCC in May to start my web design program.
  4. Get published (scrapbooking, cards or painting.)
  5. Win an scrapbook/art contest.
  6. Fill my etsy shop often.
  7. Make one new girlfriend.
  8. Take an art class at Visual Arts Center of Richmond.
  9. Sign up for a Yoga class.
  10. Cook dinner at least three times a week.
  11. Get tattoo.
  12. Be better about calling and communicating with my family & friends.
  13. Floss.
  14. Get facials.
  15. Live simply.
  16. Drink more water.
  17. Get a puppy.
  18. Make a page about my favorite, can do with out things.
  19. Throw a wine and cheese party.
  20. Continue to be kind to myself, cry if I have to, and live in the moment.

This is a start.  My start to 2008.  Cheers to a good year!
