New Year's Resolutions...

since i started this one in august, i decided to think hard about what i want to work on this year. i've decided that i will:

1. find two additional galleries or boutiques for selling art

2. have a home show (someone offered to host, so let's do it!)

3. serve homemade soup every single week of this new year ( i say serve, because i plan to probably make 2 batches every other week and freeze...also we're having a soup exchange this month!)

4. have an in-depth family art project once a month, such as paper making. 1 x a month doesn't sound like a lot, but believe me, i'm sort of regretting putting this one in writing as i think about the disastrous mess.

5. a personal goal having to do with fulfilling family responsibilities that i won't mention for fear of people saying "uh...you don't already do that...?"

i'll offer a free silk to anyone who guesses it on the first try. NOTE: it has to be the one i'm thinking of, not just any responsibility i'm not keeping up with.

6. lose 30 lbs. yes, how mind numbingly commonplace, but yet it makes the list.

7. pancakes. whole wheat ones every single week of this new year.
