Inspiration for 2012 Goals

Karen Salmansohn's bright, positive, proactive messages and the truly brilliant art that accompanies those often bring inspiration to my days.  This is particulary relevant to my goals for 2012.  You can get your own dose of inspiration from Karen on her blog or facebook page.

When you need a little magic. . .

I had a crazy week so today was the first time I was home when my building's office was open and able to grab my packages, which for a change I had several.  The one I was most excited about about was from my friend Sara, who makes fun and funky, and often whimsical, crafts, and I highly encourage you to check out her etsy shop.  Inspired by Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, I plan to wear it whenever I need a little magic in my life.  I'll post the other goodies I purchased from her as I wear/use them. I am truly blessed to have such wonderfully talented and creative friends to keep me inspired!

2012 Goals

This year, I waited to post my goals.  This is in part due to wanting them to stick.  So here we go...

For reading, I am taking part in three reading challenges:

• Mount TBR Reading Challenge 2012 (goal: 25 books)
• 2012 Ebook Challenge (goal: 25 books/CD level)
• Goodreads 2012 Reading Challenge (goal: 100 books)

As per the usual for sanity, the first two challenges overlap with the final challenge. 

I also want to expand my knitting and crochet skills.
