HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
I love the challenges that are at Inspiration Avenue. This is my first year creating a blog and for journeying into altered art.
This week's challenge was to review accomplishments of 2010 and set goals for 2011. This year was a big one for me. I am slowly stepping out of my safe zone and learning more about myself. I will always have a scrapbook heart, love photos, family, and art but I love the freedom and expression of altered art and the many new art forms I am learning of.
Well here are my lists:
2010
Wanted to be more creative to relieve stress.
- went to a class with my sister on Collage 101 in June
- Started a blog in July
- Became addicted to blog hopping and learned(still learning) so many new techniques and ideas!!!
Be more open to change and not so critical of myself
- Well this one is still a work in process. However, with my wonderful sister edging me on.. ha, love you sis.. and all the wonderful comments I have received, I feel I am making progress.
Spend more time on art
- Officially taken over extra room and moved all my art stuff
- Have a wonderful 2010 book of art with 17 pieces in it
- Took an open spine book making class with sister, and LOVED it
I feel there is plenty of room for improvement and development on these goals but I am heading in the right direction.
NOW FOR 2011
- CREATE AN ASSEMBLAGE TO MY GRANDMOTHER PEARL
- MAKE ANOTHER OPEN SPINE BOOK TO NOT FORGET, AND ADD MORE TO MY CURRENT HAWAII TRIP ONE
- CREATE A 2011 BOOK OF ART THAT HAS MORE THAN 17 PIECES IN IT
- ORGANIZE MY EMBELLISHMENTS BETTER SO THAT I KNOW WHAT I HAVE
I will do my best this year and it will be a lot of fun this time next year to see what has happened!!
AND DON'T FORGET ABOUT MY 100 POST GIVEAWAY, WINNER TO BE SELECTED JANUARY 7TH!!

Lots of progress and lots of future progress - sounds like your art will soar in the coming year. I have to confess that organizing my embellishments is one of the things I love the best! Let me know if you need any tips!

I'm late wishing you a Happy New Year, but I think you have accomplished a LOT in 2010. I'm so impressed with what I see on your blog and look forward to visiting more and more. Your goals for 2011 are doable. Good luck with organizing your embellishments. I believe that will be the most time consuming goal.
Loved reading about your 2010 goals, and your aims for this year are really inspiring - an assemblage dedicated to your grandma is a lovely idea! Looking forward to continuing to share your artistic journey this year! x
