January 2015 Crafting Goals

 

A recap of last month’s goals:

  • 30 Days of December Daily -- Success! I've gotten this project almost finished. I have a few little pieces to finish once I get back home this week.
  • Finish grandma's calendar -- Success!  Finished before Christmas Day and it looks awesome!
  • Finish the December Memories albums -- Success! And they look awesome.  I'll be sharing them later this month.
  • Finish my year end posts before my blogging break on Dec. 22nd - Success!
  • Create a 2015 blog plan and ideas list -- Success!  Got some great ideas for posts for throughout the year.
  • Make a organization plan for my new craft space -- Success! I think I know exactly what i want to buy.  I need to make a trip to The Container Store to get my supplies.  Until them, I'm focusing on cleaning out my supplies.
  • Start/plan my PL journal planner -- Success! I have my planner and know how I'm going to use it to keep up with PL throughout each month.
 

This month’s goals:

  • 30 Days of Craft Ideas -- I want to create a running list (or board on Pinterest) of craft ideas that I want to actually make this year.
  • Put away/organize my new craft space -- I tried to design an organization plan last month so this month is implementing it.
  • Finish my DD album -- I got most of it done in Indiana.  I just need to wrap up a few aspects and official put it to rest.
  • Finish 2014 PL albums -- Just the last few weeks to finish up before I can official close out 2014.
  • Prep 2015 PL albums -- I decided that I wanted to do cohesive month cards since I am changing my format. Plus I want to prep some of the currently inserts, TBR wraps, and life goals inserts before I dive into the month.
  • Plan and make winter social crafts -- Our social is in a few weeks. We have a plan and craft ideas, but items need to be bought and examples made.

2015 Goals and Resolutions

 

I didn't have this blog active last New Year's so this is my first big goals and resolutions post.  Let's dive in:

  1. Get crafting classes up and running -- A fellow mom friend and I currently have a Meetup group, but we're not getting much business.  I want to focus on getting people to classes and coming back for more. I'm not as concerned about direct orders, but would love to have people attend classes.
  2. Shop from my stash -- I did a huge destash before our move, but I need to focus on using more of my stash instead of buying new all the time. I want to make it a priority to always shop from my stash first...
  3. Participate in card making challenges -- I get all the blog posts about weekly card challenges, but they always seem to just languish in my blog roll.  I want to participate in at least one challenge a week.
  4. Keep up with my 2015 Project Life albums -- I did very well at keeping up with PL in 2014 until we moved in November.  I'm hoping my new PL strategies will help keep me on track even more.
  5. Make gifts monthly -- I love the idea of giving homemade gifts, but the rush of the holiday season usually makes this impossible.  I want to make gifts each month so I have an inventory by Christmas.  Alternatively, these can be used for birthday or just because gifts.
  6. Branch out with new styles, technology, and products -- I need to explore more new this year...
  7. Fully organize my new craft space -- I have a brand new craft area and haven't even begun to unpack. Of course that's because I'm still in Indiana.  But I want to have a nice organized space by the end of January.  Then my goal is to keep it organized and neat.
  8. Make at least 50 Pinterest inspired crafts -- I pin a lot.  I need to make more of those pins.
  9. Plan Arthur's 2nd birthday party during the summer -- I went down to the wire with his 1st birthday party.  I want this done in summer this coming year.
  10. Create a play area with crafty elements -- I have big plans for the front living room.  I want to turn it into a play room with some of the cute decorative elements I've pinned.
