1. Make another hand-binded book/journal (with at least 3 signatures)
2. Sell cards at a "real" store or shop
3. Participate in 50 swaps or challenges
4. Make cards for a "cause"
5. Create a drawing or painting once a month
6. Get published in "Take Ten" Magazine
7. Create a new Book of Art for 2012
8. Take a watercolor class

So working on number 3, I got my ATC ready to swap and the piece in the photo is the backside of my banner. The swap is to create a banner with "WINTER". I really liked the swap when we created AUTUMN. I enjoy creating items for swaps, it is fun to see what everyone comes up with.

Working on it

Working on my list of 50 by 50. On the section for My Self my items are:

MY SELF

1.          Lose 50 pounds (49 weeks)

2.          Take a 15 to 30 walk everyday

3.          Go on a longer hike trip once a month

4.          Take a yoga class

5.          Take a zumba class

6.          Go camping this summer

7.          Donate blood every 8 weeks

8.          Count points for 30 days

9.          Stay within points for 30 days

10.       NO CANDY for 30 days UGH...

There are some real challenges here but one day at a time, right. For item number 2, taking a walk every day will be a true test to keep a good balance. Since it was a holiday, hubby and I went to Old Sac, downtown and walked the river walk. It was a beautiful day. The Tower Bridge was so pretty and there was an old train along the walk too. One day we will have to go back and check out the Railroad Museum. A fun day and off to a good start!

Happy New Year

This is a big year for me, turning the big Five O. While blog hoping, I read a 40 by 40 post. This person is turning 40 this year and she made a list of things to do before she does. Well that seemed like a great idea, so I have made a list of 50 things I will accomplish by the time I turn 50. I have posted this list in my art room and near my bed. I will share the list items in the next few days. Some of the items are very challenging for me. My big one is to lose 50 pounds. I have struggled with this issue but I am committed to it! I can do it. My birthday is in the last week of November, so I have 48 weeks to accomplish these tasks, wish me luck.

I have many things to be thankful for and the top 5 are:

1. Walking
2. Knowing that I am in control of my list
3. Another day to try to track points!! UGH
4. Three swap items that I am working on
5. Stamps and punches!

Have a good week.
