Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve!
My plans went awry, but I choose to focus on the positive.
2018 is going to be a stellar year!

You have quite a reasonable list for 2018. I like your “STELLAR” year for 2018. Blessings Dear...<3
BIG goals, no. Enjoy my life and spend my time doing things that uplift me and make me happy. Help others where I can. That about sums up all my life and all my goals. =)
Wow I have not made any goals. But I have shamed myself by listing all of my quilt projects, UFO etc. ROFL...
Love the Sealed with a Kiss, that is so much fun.
Your December was great, Renee, and I'm sure you will accomplish your January goals as well. I particularly love your "declutter goal". I was doing this some years a go but meanwhile so much junk has accumulated again that it's time for another decluttering this year.
Have a great 2018!
Good luck with your goals!! Congrats on your accomplishments in December.
Oddly, I don't set goals (never been a fan of making New Year's resolutions either). For me setting a goal is bound to lead to frustration if I can't meet my own expectations and once I get frustrated with a project I know it will end up never seeing the light of day again. I work according to my whim - on any given day I can choose to crazy quilt...or work on a barn landscape....or crochet....or knit....or simply sit and read a book. Perhaps my whim will lead to doing all of them in one day. I admire you for setting goals and showing us your progress and wish a little of you would rub off on me!!
