Twelve by 2012


I'm loving this new project that Danni of oh, hello friend came up with.  I'm a little obsessed with lists but I also tend to procrastinate so most of the items on my list end up on about 5 lists after the first. This is a refreshing spin on a New Year's Resolution - instead of a list of goals for the year, it is a simple list of twelve things to accomplish or work towards before the end of 2011.  I usually forget about my goals for the new year by February, so this seems much more attainable to me!


My list of twelve:   
1. Finish thank you cards from the wedding
2. Bind a book
3. Go on a picnic with Chris
4. Start a "keeper" recipe box
5. Update blog at least once a week (I know, going big)
6. Launch a new product line on my etsy
7. Focus on blessings instead of stresses
8. Make Chris' surprise present (shhhhhh!)
9. Finish reading Exodus and Leviticus
10. Make a dress
11. Plan a New Year's party
12. Start a painting series


Most of these are things that I've had on my list for quite a while and they REALLY need to get done. Some are just things I think would be really fun. :)

I will be updating on how I am doing on my list!
If anyone starts their own, please let me know! I would love to see it and I could use some accountability ;)
Head over to oh, hello friend to grab a button and see a full list of participants of the twelve by 2012 project.

Hi JB! Thanks for stopping by my list :) Yours looks pretty great too, I love #2 and 4! Good luck with it!!

And to answer your question about typography, I took a class in college. I'm a graphic designer, so I'm a little nuts about type :) My only problem with the class was that the professor was pretty chill, so he didn't require us to do any memorization. I learned the fonts we were working with, but never really committed them to memory. I still really enjoyed it, though, so if it's something you're interested in, you should totally take it!

Good luck working through all of your goals. I'm really glad that Dani created this challenge, it is helping me to get some things done that have been on my to do list for far too long. It feels so good to check things off of the list.
